I cant believe that it's been more than a year since my last post. I have been struggilng to get a LW-901A 16 cam saa713X capture card to work but without success. Tried about 3 other "free" and trial DVR software packages. Waiting for a capture card to arrive from securecam in UK that has been ...

Hi bf65
So how many webcam have you got running on your system?

Hi M_Kane
Any luck with that 7134 card? I just bought a generic 7134 16 input card and 4 cameras. Trying to set it up without much success over the past 3 or 4 days.

No you will need a router. I have a TP Link wifi router. Just connected an IP camera and it's working. Well sort of. I think did work until I started adjusting settings. It's connected to my router with a network cable. I have 1 usb Web cam connected. I can't figure out how to connect more than one ...

TP-link 3130 setup!!!!!!
Accessed it via wifi on my BB 9300 and my playbook. Next step is to figure out port forwarding so that I can access it via the net.

Bought a TP link 3130 for about R850. Busy with installation. Cant waste any more time trying to get more than 1 usb wecam to work. I will come back to that problem later.

I got most of my information from tryalanderror on u toob. Seems to be the easiest explanation up to the point of 1 webcam on ZM.

Still struggling to get more than 1 usb webcam to work. Tried to change Shmmax and Shmall but it still doesn't work. Now I am trying to understand what Shmmax and Shmall is and what it does. In most of the explanations I find that an assumption is made on the level of knowledge. As soon as I ...

Going to test a new 8M webcam on a 45m cat5 cable with a usb adaptor sender and receiver on either end. R80 for cable, R115 for usb to cat5 sender and receiver unit, 70 cents for two plugs, 8M webcam R75.
Struggling with setting up a network to view camera feed on another pc.

Got mjpg streamer to stream a couple of weeks ago. I had to change version number of mjpg_streamer because Linux Mint 12 didn't recognise version number. It contained a letter in the version number. Had to remove the version number before it would install. Got Zoneminder to work today. usb camera ...

Busy with mjpg_streamer install. Version number must be changed for it to install correctly

btw I am following instructions from

Got to the Zoneminder gui......yeah!....for now at least.

Still can't get ZM working. It's a bloody nightmare, nothing is straight forward. Found a couple of youtube videos with instructions for an install on linux Mint and guess what....Yep I installed Linux Mint and Zoneminder and still struggling after 3 days.

Going to get a couple decent cameras for out side but inside, webcams will suffice. Busy with a creative live cam sync. Works with everything except with what matters lol, or I am not configuring ZM properly.....who knows. Still struggling. Got it streaming, now I need to hook it up with Zm.
