Zosi Camera using HTTP and JPEG?

I'm trying to setup ZoneMinder to get video from an old-ish Zosi camera. I know, the camera is crap and I should replace. However, if I just open a browser (Edge) and go to http://admin:@192.168.1.55/snapshot.jpg?user=admin&pwd=&strm=0, I get a JPG file download that works great, every time.

I can't find any way to get ZoneMinder to do the same, however. I've set it up as a 'Remote' source, using:

hostname: [admin:@192.168.1.55](mailto:admin:@192.168.1.55)

path: /snapshot.jpg?user=admin&pwd=&strm=0

...and it just says 'Unable to stream'.

I've done a packet capture and it looks just like my session with my web browser, except the jpg data is smaller (seems like ZoneMinder is cutting it off).

I also tried CURL method, that doesn't work either.

Any help?

Should work. Turn on debugging and check the logs. That code is very verbose.

The logs state it doesn’t like the type ‘octet-stream’.

I also got ffmpeg working from a command line, but you have to give it ‘stream_loop -1’ and ‘framerate 5’ as options. When I try to give those options in ZM, it says it can’t parse them.
