I have a PV-183-16 board up and running with 8 inputs. It works perfectly, but I can't figure out how to get access to the other 8 ports. Linux hands me /dev/video0-7 for the card, and I'm assuming you use a different "channel" on those to grab the second set of 8 inputs, but can't find it...

I need to make a "portable" security system that I can easily move around to look at different areas of suspicious activity. I would like to use a laptop (it can be easily secured). Does anyone have any experience with a ZoneMinder compatible capture card with USB or PCMCIA connections su...

Merry Christmas, all!

Everything works great -- had to tell people to move away from IE, but that's no loss to anyone.

Firefox 4-eva.

Getting expert help, I was able to determine that yes, dlink broke the streaming jpeg format in the rev B cameras, but there is hope:

use the url: /mjpeg.cgi

and turn off regexp matching in ZoneMinder.

I've been able to get up to 30fps from my DCS-900(b)

This issue IS a bug in the firmware (a change in the jpeg stream that is sent).

To work around, use the URL /mjpeg.cgi and turn OFF regex matching.

I'm seeing up to 30fps using a DCS-900.

I'll update/create a wiki page here shortly.

I'm going to be presenting on ZoneMinder at the Eastern Carolina InfraGard (Research Triangle Park, NC, USA) on October 18th. I don't know what the odds are of someone on the forums here actually being able to attend, but all are welcome. Just fill out the RSVP that can be found linked off of: http:...

Do you know why you are only getting 2fps? Is it because that is all the cam is feeding or (more likely) because ZM is barfing at the bogus stream format and restarting the capture daemon? Actually, if I use the "image.cgi", I get zero FPS... it won't read the image at all. The 2FPS is vi...

As much as I hate to followup to myself, I've found a demo of "Active WebCam" that is able to pull the video stream from a DCS-900B at 20+FPS. Here's the start of the stream: GET /video.cgi HTTP/1.1 Accept: */* User-Agent: HTTP agent Host: 192.168.168.138 Cache-Control: no-cache HTTP/1.0 2...

BTW, I've run tcpdump against the stream that is created by the d-link application and find this:
Can anyone provide me a similar dump from an AXIS camera?

Thx!

I've just picked up one of these (having seen the "oh yeah, it works" and missing the "oh, it sucks if you have the version B"). Anyway, trying to make the best of a bad situation, can someone tell me if this link might help in getting a higher framerate? http://forum.java.sun.co...
