AXIS M5525-E Camera with TZT14

[RickVicik]

I'm trying to get an AXIS M5525-E IP camera to work with my TZT14's.

I have an AXIS M5054 working with those TZT14's as an engine-room camera and love the touch interface that controls the Pan-Tilt-Zoom. I added the M5525-E as an outside camera because it is waterproof and supports continous pan (unlike the M5054). I tried setting the M5525-E parameters the same as the M5054 (root password="pass", enable anonymous viewer, etc.), but there is not a clear match in some cases. Resolution is the most obvious. The M5054 is set to 800x600, but the M5525-E doesn't offer that. I tried some of the offerings without success.

I found a forum post that says the M5525-E is known to work (viewtopic.php?f=28&t=6617&p=26552&hilit=M5525#p26546).

Can someone tell me what parameters were used? Especially the resolution?

My TZT14's are running v6.02.

My problem was using the camera's default SubnetMask of 255.255.255.0 instead of changing it to 255.255.0.0. I changed the laptop's ethernet adapter SubnetMask to 255.255.0.0 as specified in the Furuno IP Camera setup instructions, but did not change the setting in the camera itself.

For reference, the camera settings that worked were:
Resolution=800x450, FrameRate=0(unlimited), Compression=30, ZipStream= Off or Low or High, DynamicFPS=OFF, DynamicGOP=OFF, PFrames=32, BitRate=Variable, H264Profile=Main, TCP/IP=Manual IP & DNS, IPv6=OFF, IPAddress=172.31.200.(3-6), SubnetMask=255.255.0.0, DefaultRouter=0.0.0.0, DNS=0.0.0.0.

I disabled audio, Bonjour & UPnP to reduce network traffic, but everything worked with all those enabled.

This is with the TZT14 running v6.02.
