The camera has two BNC heads. One is NTSC which works fine with my zoneminder, the 2nd BNC head is for High definition which I am having trouble with. I don't know what format of video the 2nd BNC head outputs. The manual doesn't say that, it just say it is Hi Def. How do I do the test? well if you ...

Could you please be more specific. What do you mean by running the card at full resolution? I wonder if my card actually support High resolution. Is there a way to tell? ntsc cant do megapixel, the std is limited to 640 x 480. id try running the card at full res and see if that helps. Other than ...

Hi! Guys: I recently purchased a 1M pixel camera but having some difficulties setting it up. The camera can run in either regular NTSC or Hi Def mode, under NTSC everything is fine, but when I hook up the Hi Def channel, the picture I saw keeps jumping left/right, up/down raplidly, it's like ...

I'd like to thank everyone who contributed to zoneminder project or answered my questions in this forum. Zoneminder is great! Well, I did spend almost 3 days to install it, did have to search really hard on internet for some answers, even had to make some code changes. But at last everything turns ...

Problem resolved. Had to recompile ffmpeg with bunch of switches turned on(mainly swscale lib), had to modify zm_mpeg.h to use the new directory structure. finally got all my cameras running now !!!

By upgrading to a new machine ...

The old one is really too old. P-III 800. And it has SCSI interface on it, make things a little bit too complex. I believe it has nothing to do with the software, some IRQ conflict maybe.

Now I am trying to install zoneminder from yum. But to my surprise, after installation I found following lines in /etc/zm.conf: # Path to ZoneMinder web files ZM_PATH_WEB=/usr/share/zoneminder/www # Path to ZoneMinder cgi files ZM_PATH_CGI=/usr/libexec/zoneminder/cgi-bin Why it doesn't point to /var ...

Hi! All: I am trying to compile the new 1.23.3 version. Downloaded the latest ffmpeg. installed it. The first issue I encountered was when I did the .configure. It reports it cannot find the ffmpeg. After investigation I found a bunch of subdirectories under /usr/local/include looks like the newly ...

Thanks. it's a security feature.

Hi! All: I just upgraded to v1.23.3. Then zmfilter.pl failed to work. After investigation I found the issue is zmfilter.pl cannot locate PHP:Serialization. I did install PHP, but it's in a local directory. I thought by putting the local directory into $PERLLIB and $PERL5LIB should make it visible to ...

Thank you cordel. Sorry I forgot to mention. I have two cards installed. But only one of them are currently being used and there are 4 cameras hooked on to it. The first thing I would do when get home today is yanking the 2nd card out. It's just so strange when I define only 1 camera, everything ...

To be honest I forgot the model of the card. But here is the result of both commands: rt@Sun#tmp>cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 209 IO-APIC-edge timer 1: 10 IO-APIC-edge i8042 3: 2 IO-APIC-edge 4: 2 IO-APIC-edge 6: 5 IO-APIC-edge floppy 7: 0 IO-APIC-edge parport0 8: 1 IO-APIC-edge rtc0 9: 0 IO-APIC ...

Hi! All: I just finished installing v1.22.3 on my Fedora 9. Got some issues and need your help! It seems when I add only one camera through the apache website, everything works just fine. But after I added the 2nd camera, zmdc starts failing. It would work for a while for both cameras, sometimes a ...
