Can't control (move) camera

Error in log file:

     zmcontrol[4650].ERR [Error check failed:'500 No Host option provided'] 

Add the IP address of the camera to the Control Address field in the Control tab of camera settings, then be sure to restart zmcontrol:

sudo killall -9 zmcontrol.pl

If you don't see the option to control your camera, be sure to check the OPT_CONTROL option in options (found on main zoneminder screen).
