Foscam FI9821P config in zoneminder 1.32.3

Foscam FI9821P config in zoneminder 1.32.3

Comments 0 Comment

To configure a Foscam FI9821P in the most recent zoneminder v1.32.3, use the following parameters in the source config:

source: rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ip>:<port>/videoMain
method:tcp
color: 32
width 1280
height 720

These params allowed zoneminder to hook up to the camera and monitor video. There was a preset for this camera, but it did not seem to work, and the ONVIF auto-config errored out for some reason.

Getting PIT file from Galaxy S5 using Heimdall

Getting PIT file from Galaxy S5 using Heimdall

I found myself needing the PIT file from my galaxy s5 g900t the other day. Mainline heimdall has a bug that caused me to not be able to get it. I resolved the bug in a branch of heimdall that I put on github here

Download my branch and build it, following the build instructions, and you too can finally print your pit from the S5.

If you have any questions, post them in the comments!
