BL-C1, BL-C10, BL-C20, BL-C30, BL-C101, BL-C140A, KX-HCM10, BB-HCM531 etc (including PTZ support)

BB-HCM381. At least JPEG capture (640x480@5fps) works.

bl-c1 works on http://user:password@ip/cgi-bin/nphContinuousServerPush?Resolution=640x480&Quality=Standard

bl-c101 works on http://user:password@ip/nphMotionJpeg?Resolution=640x480&Quality=Standard (However, on mine this mjpeg stream drops out intermittently and won't resync without camera restart)

BL-C111A and BL-C10A also work with RTSP/Unicast and ffmpeg with rtsp://user:password@ip/nphMpeg4/g726-640x480 (However this may use considerably more CPU than MJPEG, perhaps some tweaking can help)

BB-HCM531 works on the same as the c101 and varieties. Very reliable external camera.

BB-HCM511A and BB-HCM531A

The control script supports all controls for this camera, but it can be used for other Panasonic cameras as well.

Note that I implemented a real name preset functionality, where you can set any desired name as the preset name. It is basically possible to set the presets through ZM's interface, but I prefer to do it through the cam's firmware interface, which is the default setting in the script. By changing one constant definition, you may change this behaviour. In any case still activate the "can set presets" option in ZM, after which you can assign names to each preset.

I would further recommend to update the cam's firmware. I found smoother operation in ZM after having updated the firmware. [bco]
