I am struggling to setup a Pi Zero camera running on a separate system from the Domoticz server. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Domoticz 3.8153 running on Ubuntu server 192.168.86.249
RPi Cam 6.3.14 running Pi Zero @ 192.168.86.37
I can view a live stream from the camera at http://192.168.86.37/html/cam_pic_new.php using any other computer and my phone.
Domoticz Camera settings
IP address: 192.168.86.37
Port: 80

URL: /html/cam_pic_new.php
When I click Test Connection in the Add Camera dialog, I can see a live stream from the camera. It continues to show the stream as long as I leave the dialog open. So far, so good. Clicking Add indeed adds the camera to Settings/More options/Cameras.
If I then click the snapshot icon, a blank page with the address http://192.168.86.249:8080/camsnapshot.jpg?idx=1. That's the IP address and port of Domoticz itself, not the IP address and port of the camera.
Similarly, clicking the video icon opens a pop up with Domoticz's standard static video camera image. The address on that image is
http://192.168.86.249:8080/camsnapshot. ... 5143950793.
The problem seems to be the same as the one mentioned in the fourth post of this thread viewtopic.php?t=10761. I tried the workaround mentioned later in the thread and copied below. Nothing changed.
Any ideas?"I gave up on the Domoticz settings, and made my own little bash script. This script copied the cam.jpg to the Domoticz folder "/var/www/scripts, and I was sattisfied with this. By chance I went into the Domoticz camera settings, to discover that there suddenly was a preview picture in the left side and the snapshot and liveview buttons is working."
Thanks,
Ron
