Hi elfking, Just an update on my end... system is still running fine with now around 25,000 recorded events (must get around to tweeking my detection settings!) spread over 5 cameras on a capture card. The only problems i have is when i change something myself and it breaks! Still looking for the pe...

Hi, I seem to have solved all of my screen freeze problems with a simple change in the stream method, changed swf to asf in option/images and bingo! I have tried a few other changes, playing with memory settings in sysctl.conf and card settings in modprobe.d, but it's the stream method that makes it...

Hi again, it's not black images but more so when a bright or daylight source on one of the channels (8ch dvr card using 8 saa7134 chips) is tried to be viewed either on its own or in a montage, it will freeze after 1-3 seconds!

Hi elfking, This install is great on an older P4 3.0Ghz 2Gig ram 500G HDD machine. I'm using a "el-cheapo" china 8CH DRV card and all seems to be going well... I have persisted through many other distros and even taken on a few complete installs myself from following the Wiki. This certain...

O.k, a bit of an update, I thought i'd try going back to the old ZMLarch live cd (Zoneminder 1.24.2) that I used with great success on my first attempt at this with an old Pico 4ch card. The clean install of ZMLarch was able to “see” every one of the 8 channels on the new card AND in glorious colour...

Hi bb99, Iv'e taken your suggestions on board and kept on trying some other ideas, i have removed any memory config changes within /etc/sysctl.conf and left "options saa7134 card=33,33,33,33,33,33,33,33" at the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and went through different Pal and Palett...

Hello All, My first post along with a big learning curve with linux (newbie). I have an old P4 2.0Ghz, 1 gig ram laying around that i wanted to put to use as a security system. I purchased a "Generic" 8ch dvr card with Philips SAA7134 chips and surprise surprise, the software that came wit...
