I have recently bought a Foscam PTZ camera and have installed scripts from all over the place and I still can't get the camera to pan, tilt, zoom, or do anything else except show a picture and give me errors but I found a very useful add-on for Firefox below that shows the camera in the sidebar and ...

I have just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 running firefox 4.0.1 everything is working ok except for the Montage view window although the cameras are showing and I can resize them using the scale drop down box the layout has stopped working all the cameras are showing in a single line down and I can't get ...

Sorry for not replying sooner. Thanks for the info Cordel all I had to do was follow the instructions in the documents when I first installed ZoneMinder these; Link Apache sudo ln -s /etc/zm/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/zoneminder.conf Restart Apache sudo apache2ctl restart suid zmfix sudo chmod ...

Well as promised I went through the entire card list and although I could get b/w pictures from almost all cards none gave any color, however I have since discovered that the card is a UCC4 type card or more commonly known as a PICO2000 so in capturecards.conf I have this line, options bttv gbuffers ...

Now I know how to configure the card I am trying out all the possibilities, it will take me a while though big list and I'm only up to card number 33 but as soon as I have it working and cameras are showing ...

Hi all, The camera finally works although I had to put Cordel's code (options bttv card=77 tuner=4 radio=0) into a file called modprobe.conf and save it under /etc when I tried saving it under /etc/modprobe.d and named it capturecards.conf it didn't work for some strange reason. The output from ...

Thanks for that info Cordel I tried your suggestions but I still get the following output on a re-boot and still have the same problem. So I hope that it can help as I am a complete novice here, [ 25.558705] bttv: driver version 0.9.17 loaded [ 25.558710] bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages ...

Hi all, I am using zm v1.22.3 I can get a great picture from the web cam but after installing a Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 11) card and 2 Digital Display cameras I can't get a decent picture no matter what I try.
