Yes, thank you. It should be "Source /dev/video0" and the user "www-data" should be added to the "video" group usermod -a -G video www-data This will ensure that the user "www-data" can read/write the "/dev/video0" Also, thanks to Curtis at Bluecherry for these suggestions.

We have:

• * ZoneMinder running on a Ubuntu PC.
  * The PC has no PCI slots and 4 USB ports.
  * A few different digital video cameras with only RCA yellow jack output.

Can you recommend a USB Video Capture device that:

• * Takes RCA yellow jack input.
  * Is known to work with ZoneMInder.
