Hi all, this could be a silly question, but here goes anyways; If someone could shed some light on this, that would be great... If I have an analog CCD Day/night camera which has an effective pixel resolution of 752x582 (PAL), and I connect this camera to a capture card that only supports ...

Hi, Funny this... I just built a system using the FlyVideo EZ(Conexant Fusion 878) card. I also initially had issues setting it up with the card. I now have it working at 640x480, for the past 2 days now. Firstly I am running CentOS 4.3 64bit. The first problems I had were that the zmc kept bombing ...

hey there Xania,

You could do a dodgy, and use symbolic links to point to your desired filesystem or directory of storage, this way zm thinks nothing has changed.

Hi Viddud, wierd problems your having. :-( I have not come across such problems with card I am using, and I have used it in a few different machines now. Only a few things come to mind where the problem could be; 1. Are you running both PC's with onboard video card or separate PCI/AGP card? And as ...

Yep,

Thats the card I am currently using. I have connected various type of cameras with no issues.
"PC" must of been a typo... but it is the 149P.

Hi, To get the card I am using, which still to date is performing well(touch wood!) I went to a taiwanese shop at www.provideo.com.tw The card is not in the E-Shop. Send them an email requesting a complete price list and you will see the model I got for USD100. This is the actual order I made ...

Hi, Heres something you can play with.. Its a bit rough, as I just scrubbed it together when I saw your post. Its a perl script which calls a shell script :? You would have to run the script using absolute path names, but you can change it later if it works for you. ok heres the perl script 1st ...

Hola Marina, Hmmm, paso a paso uno llega a la destinacion. ;-) yo creo que a lo mejor puede ser la version de ffmpeg. Puedes tratar lo versiones sigiente; que otros han usado con resultados buenos. -ffmpeg version 0.4.8 o -ffmpeg version 0.4.9-pre1 trata de no usar la CVS versiones, Phil dice con lo ...

Hi Rob, I have been caught out with similar problem, the error wasn't exactly the same, maybe because I am not running debian, I have compiled zm on centos 4.1 with kernel 2.6.12. The problem I had was my own silly mistake, which was that I didn't change the permissions on the /dev/video, /dev ...

Ok Marina, Aqui vamos, con en problema de ffmpeg para convertir los eventos a mpeg. hay dos cosas que peudes tratar. 1. trata de ver el mpeg con "vlc media player"(bajas el client de www.videolan.org), sin cambiar nada en zoneminder. Por le que entiendo yo, es cuando tu miras el mpeg con windows ...

Hola Marina,, Bueno, yo soy chileno pero viviendo en australia. mi espanol no esta muy bien pero te entiendo tu problema que tienes con zoneminder. Te puedo ser una pregunta primero y de ahi a lo mejor te peudo ayudar mas.. que typo de cameras estas busando. 1. Estas usando ffmpeg con zoneminder? Si ...

You can try to specify the device,

iostat -x md0 1 10

check /proc/partitions to see which partitions the kernel has detected.

You are right James, When you boot into runlevel 3 by default, just type init 5 or startx to start and Xserver, there are afew other ways to start the xserver also. To make the system boot into a default runlevel of 3, so it doesn't load any Xservers if the server is rebooted, edit the following ...

Thats ok, I think I was bit vague, but anyways here is some more info; I run the command "iostat" with the following syntax when the cameras are recording; #iostat 1 30 1 = interval to check disk io 30 = repeat 30 times all iostat does is gives me information on how many transfers per second it is ...

Hi James, Here is the PC Hardware specs; Dell(TM) PowerEdge(TM) SC430 Server Intel P4 3.0GHz,800MHz FSB 64Bit enabled. 1GB RAM; SWAP=512MB Trying 256MB of shared memory(might have to bump it up), but so for so good. I have it currently running with the 64Bit kernel of centos 4.1 I currently have 3 ...
