Figured it out

Apache is allocating 33MB of shared memory at startup and the 4 cameras are consuming what remains of the 96MB so I'll have to take a look at Apache and see if it can be configured to run with less (or 0) shared memory. ------ Shared Memory Segments -------- key shmid owner perms bytes nattch status ...

Does not compute

Yes, I've read the Wiki/FAQ & yes rtfm applies .... A while back I purchased my wife & kids a new computer so I took the old system and made it into a security server running ZM.

How many can it "realistically" support?

Thanks

I have a couple of older x-10 cam and the low light capability is nil. They are inexpensive for a reason. Wireless is also problematic, anything which runs at the 2.5#hz range will interfere, most often that's cordless phones, my wireless router, etc. The microwave knock them out completely. I ...

I haven't actually received it yet, and I didn't actually inquire, but I'm counting on 2 for power, 2 for control and coax (BNC). if you blow the image up a bit thats what it looks like to me ;)

PTZ cabling

Just set up a PTZ camera and now I'm looking for cabling. I'd like to find a "single" cable that combines the video coax (BNC), power, and 2 wires for RS-485 controls. In all the searching I've done I'm not really finding what I want. Mostly what I've found is the coax & power combination. Can ...

I have ptz control enabled so I see the control tab on the source dialog for the camera. The camera supports pelco-d among other protocols. I am able to view the camera thru ZM and I know ...
