Good to know, thanks!

I've since replaced the quickcam chat with a quickcam pro 4000 because i couldn't leave the camera out of commission too long. I'd still like to know what the answer was though

Thanks a ton! (Its always obvious after someone tells you.) Here is the relevant bit. It lookes like autoexpo is what I want, but I've already set that to zero. I'm thinking my problem is here: (PC-CAM 600/Zc03xx/spca561a/Etoms Only !!!) I may be out of luck with this camera. parm: autoexpo:Enable ...

I'm mostly sure the problem is at the driver level. I think it could be fixed in modprobe.conf if I only knew what the available options were.

I think programs like this actually do change the brightness/contrast for a short time, but the driver changes it right back.

We were thinking we should make t-shirts

So I promised a 25$ donation a week ago. I'd like to apologize for the delay (I was out of town for a week). As it turns out. It was worth the wait. I've had a burglar that has hit my place of business 3 times in 4-5 months. I had an existing 4 camera cctv system that sucked, and was recorded to VHS ...

I'm almost there! I hit on it simply by sitting down for a few hours and trying every combination of settings I could think of. modprobe.conf needs.... options bttv card=77,77 Note that linux detected the card as 105, I noticed that when i got this right the monitor for the usb camera i have went ...

Re: NTSC

I did try this with a restart of ZM. No luck. I have not tried any of the other format settings though.

I meant to and managed to forget to check the box. (Wow was that stupid of me.) Is it possible for me to get hold of one? I suppose it can't get here before Wed though. How about the modprobe.conf file? Would it be possible for someone to take a peak and let me know if any special config is ...

Now I'm in a bit of a time crunch. I have to get this working before I leave town Wednesday morning and nothing I do seems to work. Since bluecherry said this card is "tested with zoneminder" I have to believe the problem is something easy. Tell you what: If anyone out there would be so kind as to ...

Oh I should mention that this install already has a usb webcam working, so I know zm is working.

Hi everyone. I just bought a PV-143 4 port capture card from bluecherry. I couldn't find good config directions in the wiki. If you all would be kind enough to help me figure out how to get this thing working i'll go and write it up as I bet that lots of people will want this card (it's the cheap ...

I'll keep posting stuff as I figure it out here in hopes it will help someone else some day. I found some posts on various forums that suggest that the quickcam chat performs better with this line added to /etc/modprobe.conf options gspca autoexpo=1 usbgrabber=0 lightfreq=50 GRed=256 GBlue=350 ...

Further reading in this forum and elsewhere tells me that zm is probably being over-ridden by the camera drivers. Unfortunately I have no idea how to set driver settings. I'm pretty sure this camera uses the gspvav1 driver, and that that driver is installed via modprobe... Does any kind soul out ...

Hopefully this will be an easy one :D So I have a copy of zm that was working great with a quickcam pro 4000. I'm trying to set up a Logitech quickcam Chat. I have it all working and i can view through the camera and everything except that the brightness and contrast insist on being set wrong. I can ...

Perfect. Thanks.

This seems to me to be an appropriate thing for a future-feature-request. (Emails that go at the beginning rather than the end).

Is there somewhere I can submit that? I can't be the only person that wants to catch something as its happening.
