Just FYI, the MJPEG encoder on this card will not support deinterlacing. Only the MPEG4|H.264 encoder will. Also, make sure you are using the latest driver (https://github.com/bluecherrydvr/solo6x10). Previously you linked to a PPA, which hasn't been updated in quite some time.

For the record you need to use the Github driver, as the PPA hasn't been updated in six months:

104 cameras is going to be alot for any software. Another thing to think about is this: Zoneminder records one jpeg image for every frame. If you have 104 cameras recording 5FPS, that's 520 images saved per second, or 31,200 per minute. By default, Zoneminder does not support on-camera motion ...

Just FYI, 'coke', or Scott Pircher as some of you may know him, died today ( http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_230410256986071 ). He used to be active on the Zoneminder forums (if you count 518 posts as active) - http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/search.php?keywords=&terms=all&author=coke&sc ...

Just because a Linux driver *might* be available doesn't mean squat. It has to be Video4Linux 2 complaint AND produced uncompressed streams or MJPEG streams.

Ok. Now this is probably blasphemy on this forum, but are there any suggestions of free Linux software to save and manage just the MPEG4 streams? For this particular application, a low-power system that just saves compressed video to disk will be fine, I don't plan on using any motion detection or ...

The MJPEG encoders will work with Zoneminder. The compressed stream(s), audio input, on-board motion detection, video / audio output will not be supported. Great, thanks! Next question, for Zoneminder is it more CPU-efficient to use something that provides MJPEG output (such as the Bluecherry ...

Do you mean the camera's power supply or the PC power supply?

The computer power supply.

I do not think that there's a rule for processor speed, it will depend also on the Linux distribution you install. The powerful the better, I think, I will try a 4 core processor with at least 8 Gigabytes of RAM.... I'm not sure how a Linux distribution will change anything in regards to "raw ...

So even the small budget PV-143 is also 3.3v If that is the case I might as well just give up looking for a suitable card here in the uk, and buy the PV-143 . I know at the time of posting that the PV-143 is out of stock. Actually, I need to reword my previous answer. The following cards are 3.3V ...

The PV- series cards used to be 5V only (They were keyed 3.3V and 5V, but it only worked in 5V slots). Last year we worked with Provideo on getting 3.3V cards produced, so all of our inventory is now 3.3V. As far as shipping, the best way to get live rates is to add the card to your cart and ...

Not true. Our PV- series are 3.3v

This card is a generic / cheap card that is incorrectly keyed. You need a card that is keyed and setup for 3.3V or 5V.
