/etc/modprobe.d/options I first I had it to 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 that didn't work, changed it to 60 and added that buffer setting, then it worked. But the video comes in Composite2 which is Device Channel 3 in the Monitor setting. I looped through all the device channel inputs under /dev/video0 in the ...

Well, I figure everything out. I think I need a more powerful machine, the ones I got is 1.8 single core P4 with only 512 MB of ram, I can upgrade the ram to 2 gig, and the video card does not matter, because I have the machine boot to the command line, (slight Grub change), so that those resources ...

Ok, device Channel must be set to 3, did that, now I see video, but it doesn't look very good

hooked up video cameras to channel /dev/video0 and video1, all that I am seeing is black and white lines (thin lines) no actual video, better than a blank black screen, but no luck yet. Instructions are also not written well, for example, this part here: $ sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf 1. Shared memory ...

Great to hear, so my card has 8 ports, would it be like this: modprobe saa7134 card=60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60 or edit your modprobe.conf to include options saa7134 card=60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60 instead of like it was written ? modprobe saa7134 card=60,60,60,60 or edit your modprobe.conf to include ...

I bought a 8 channel video cctv capture card on ebay, it is a PCI card. when I type: sudo lshw, here are all the channels that I see. It seems to be using the saa7134 driver. I have cameras hooked up to /dev/video0 and 1, but I see no video under zoneminder. Is there anything else that I need to do ...
