ZoneMin...FI8918W(3)

okay so bestie, welcome to ZoneMin...FI8918W(3) 💖 — this is a User Contributed Perl Documentation page, and it’s all about the FI8918W situation. No preamble energy needed, we’re going straight in.

🎀 FI8918W 🎀

ZoneMinder::Database - Perl extension for FOSCAM FI8918W. That’s the whole name line, periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Control script for Foscam MJPEG 8918W cameras.

Short, iconic, to the point.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so here’s the setup: you need to set user=xxx&pwd=yyy in the ControlDevice field of the control tab for that monitor. Yes, exactly that string — don’t get creative.

Auto TimeOut should be 1. Don’t set it to less - processes start crashing :) Like, actually crashing, bestie — this is not a drill.

NOTE: unlike HD foscam cameras, this one uses user not usr in the control device. iykyk — spelling matters here.

🧚 EXPORT 🧚

None by default. That’s it. That’s the export section.

🔍 SEE ALSO 🔍

The original SEE ALSO section has no entries, so there are literally zero references listed. It’s giving mysterious, and we respect it.
