Yeah they work, I got 2 and they work fine i guess. At the moment i can not get them working properly, but the reason they are so cheap is because it has 1 processing chip on it. So all 4 inputs have to share the one processor. Makes the already low FPS on it very very slow.

Ok now almost a month later and fiddling like crazy I have not been table to get it to work. I currently do not have network on the linux box but will shortly, so any outputs will have to wait. I currently have a blue screen for all 4 inputs. I insert the 1 camera into the slot and see it works and ...

I set it to NTSC which seems normal. I tried it on a PAL setting and it did the lower half in a flicker, which is what i notice when i try and play PAL on a NTSC dvd player. So as far as I can see the video seems right, but it is still complaining about the tuner info or whatever, and I am not sure ...

I think you need to have every channel have the same settings. Color and what not since it is a one chip board.

Video still not working, it has been 2 days now and i still do not know what to do. I have done the following. took out the tuner part from /etc/modprobe.conf When i do this i get a blank black video. If i remove the camera it goes to blue. # tvtime Running tvtime 1.0.1. Reading configuration from ...

Pretty sure it can use a mjpeg stream, so that camera should work from what i can see on here, http://www.zoneminder.com/support.html

Sorry double post

I am back .

Problem this time, is i guess i did something wrong but it seemed to work until now. Now i have a problem where it is looking for the tuner info, but I am not sure what to set this tuner to. Is there a good one to set the tuner to, to have it work?

Thanks

Well maybe that is the problem. When i open a monitor, and click on settings. It shows all of them as blank.

Still nothing working with this. I tried setting the colors to different ones and still nothing.

You will see that -r is for frame rate which is supplied from the camera probally

But for some reason you have 2 in there.

Well I know that the video is working because in TVTime i am able to get a video feed and see the video.

So unless this means there are other video drivers i am not seeing then i am not sure that is the problem.

I set up monitors. I went to update from 1.19.5 to the more recent 1.22.0 version. I did not realize there was a update script so I tried to uninstall, and remove all things connected to zm that i could see. Then i reinstalled using 1.22.0. All seems good to go. I can get video using tv time. Only ...

Yeah it seems that only 1 and 3 out of 0 - 3 work Which is odd i guess.

I will fiddle some more, but seems pretty good. Thanks again

I am not really sure what this camera is, or if it is working. But now i got the tuner thing to now show, and I will try all the cameras i have here to see if one of these will work.

Thanks for your help. I will let you know how it goes and/or if there are problems.

Thanks!
