Thanks for the input. I tried (after reading the help instructions) the following: stop ZM options reset to defaults (events and images) then deleting symbolic links in /usr/lib/zm/html (for events and images - pointing at /var/lib/zm/) making new links with: ln -s /zm/events ln -s /zm/images ...

Hi I have made an installaton, where I under "Options - Paths" changed ZM_DIR_EVENTS to /zm/events and ZM_DIR_IMAGES to /zm/images Events are placed in these directories, but playing old events fails. Messages indicates the problem: ERR [Can't open /usr/lib/zm/html//zm/events/2/211/0113-capture.jpg ...

Problem above was caused by a defect powersupply for the camera. Got it fixed and I now have signal on /dev/video2 (2). Very nice - and thanks for all your input. I will try to figure out a way to asure card initializing on reboot. Maybe something with rc.local. Have you done anything like that, tux ...

Hi again. Did: (xawtv need to be installed) /etc/rc.d/init.d/zm stop cd /tmp streamer -c /dev/video0 -i 0 -f jpeg -o video.jpeg file video.jpeg /etc/rc.d/init.d/zm start I now have signals on /dev/video0 (0) /dev/video1 (1) /dev/video3 (3) /dev/video2 (2) shows no signal - I have to investigate the ...

Hello tux. Thanks for your reply. Im am very interested in your help. Had to reinstall my system, as I messed up my configuration. Now I can´t find all my signals. (using the 4 onboard BNCs) It seems as you write, that the card has to be kind of reset by another application, before zm can use the ...

Moved the current 2 cameras to the other 2 BNC connectors. Here is the result assembled: Port 1 equals /dev/video0 channel 0 (BNC connector closest to the motherboard - wrong above) Port 2 equals /dev/video1 channel 2 Port 3 equals /dev/video2 channel 1 Port 4 equals /dev/video3 channel 0 This ...

Test results for now: Port 1 equals /dev/video0 channel 0 (BNC connector closest to the video out phono) Port 2 equals /dev/video1 channel 2 I will mount cameras on the 2 remaining BNC connectors and return with the results. Still not sure about the logic in this. I only have the 4 BNC connectors ...

Well - I have tested around and got another problem with the KMC-4400r card. I have 4 identical cameras (colour). So far I tested on device /dev/video0 I got that working and thought, lets move on Placed a camera on the next BNC. No input - monitor configured as /dev/video1 Placed a camera on the ...

RGB565 and RGB555 can be defined without causing server crash.
Som of the V types can too, but coulours look odd.

Have not the technical knowledge to tell how this can be.
Well - look forward to set up alle the cameras and exploring ZM further.

Case closed.

Well Corey - seems you are the helper once again. Thanks a lot. I am doing some testing, but am still a bit confused. I can define 1 monitor with RGB24 (capture palette - Source tab) I can define 4 monitors with grey If i turn 1 of theese monitors RGB24 - server crash (not just ZM) Colours for ...

Hi I have installed Coreys CTU distro - thus running ZM 1.2.4. HW AMD XP2100+ with 1 GB RAM Kodicom KMC-4400r DVR card Installation and defining the first camera on /dev/video0 went fine. Uppon saving the second camera definition with /dev/video1, the server afterwards reboots. Driver issue? No ...

That is "belong" in other forums.

Hi Corey.

Picture in the box!
Thank (the danish word is "tak") you for all your help.

Will go forward with testing and fine-tuning.

I think further questions below in other forums.

Orla

I think this is doing the trick.
Looks in /var/log/dmesg tells, that the card is regognised.
Thank a lot.
Will try with camera tomorrow.

Its not related t this forum, but would you share the line in your /etc/modprobe.conf?
I guess something like
install bttv gbuffers=16 card=133,132,133,133
But I am not familiar at all, with module installation.
