Very political of you. Promising... but it doesn't work. ;) Are you trying to use the Veo Observer IP cam in your sig or another one? If it is a cheap cam I'll pick one up and get it working. If not I can probably come up with a test utility to get it working if you are willing to test. It should he...

You may be running into the same issue I did, Jon . After a bit of testing I found that the 2.6.25 kernel does not have a suitable v4l2 to v4l interface for running ZM. I am currently running a 2.6.24 kernel with ZM with at least a week uptime and no problems now. Please see my post here for more in...

Let me know if you run into any problems. I should have mentioned it's written in pascal so the source may not do you any good but here it is. Executable: http://64.246.24.73/ncapstrm.exe Source: http://64.246.24.73/ncapstrm.zip Some quick instructions since it may not be obvious: - Set the IP to bi...

I'm not trying to insult, but you did restart zm after changing the config file? I think timcraig is on the right path with the user issue. You can check which user the zoneminder apps are running as with ps gasmasher@burlybader: ps axo user,command | grep zm apache /usr/bin/zma -m 6 apache /usr/bin...

I can't answer the technical reason, but I believe it has to do with the shielding in coax. You can use cat cable if you use the device you mentioned called a balun. I have not used this store but here is an example. They have single and multi-stream options. The Video Balun for CCTV (BNC-RJ45) isn'...

Here is a tip for using MythTV and ZM 1.23.3. This all assumes that mythplugins has already been built and installed with ZoneMinder support. The latest release of mythplugins is 0.21 and includes a ZM server for MythTV called mythzmserver. It was designed for ZM 1.22.x but it also works with 1.23.3...

I wrote a quick app for windows that will take screen shots from a (or multiple) capture card using DirectShow and make them available over HTTP. This basically turns a capture device on a windows machine into an IP camera serving single jpegs. ZM running on a linux machine can then be setup to read...

I just wanted to provide some info on my findings. I am using a PV-981 (4 BT878 chips on PCI express bus) from Bluecherry.net (great service there) and ran into some problems with kernel 2.6.25. It seems that v4l1 has been removed from kernel 2.6.25 and only the v4l2 to v4l compatibility layer remai...

Sorry Socom , but it seems you don't have the same problem I did. I am assuming that you made a typo on the kernel version and meant 2. 6 .24-16 instead of 2. 3 .24. The v4l compatibility layer problems I mentioned above don't exist in 2.6.24 as long as you still have video for linux 1 compiled into...

I have a feeling you are running into the same problem I am with the kernel version. I am using the recent 2.6.25. Can you check which version you are running? uname -r I think this has something to do with the removal of the old v4l interface in the latest kernels. If I understand things properly i...

Dang, I didn't mean to be that guy. I must not have used the right terms in the forum search. Thanks for the help.

I am attempting to install ZM on Slackware but am having a problem with the web interface. I get the same result with 1.23.2 and 1.23.3. After compiling and installing OK, I started zmpkg.pl with no errors. When I load zm.php in a browser it looks like some variable substitution did not take place o...
