only 4 channels available in Zm drop down although 8 there!
only 4 channels available in Zm drop down although 8 there!
Hi All,
I have been arguing with ZM all afternoon because I just reinstalled a new box with a grandtec x-guard 8 port and the ZM would only give me 4 channels in the Monitor channels drop down box... to get round this I had to edit the database manually and set the Channel to 4,5,6 or 7 to get the other cameras...
Why does the drop down box only go to 4?! Does ZM think my card is only 4 channels or does ZM just now only do 4?
Phil - Please perhaps put this back from a drop down box to a text field?
All working now but this may save someone hours of modprobing with different switched as that is what I thought was the problem.
Thanks
Pete

My card is an x-guard grandtec 9 camera
My card is an x-guard grandtec 9 camera and it only has one bt878 chip, hence with all cams I don't get a great frame rate. ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
Anyway 0-15 should cover most eventualities (SP?)
Thanks alot Phil![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

hi mate
along the lines of...
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u root -p zm
(so connect up to MySQL as root and use the zm database)
then type
use zm (if you aren't already using that DB)
update Monitors set Channel=5 where Name="Cam1";
update Monitors set Channel=6 where Name="Cam2";
update Monitors set Channel=7 where Name="Cam3";
etc etc etc...
quit out of mysql then restart ZM and away you go.
Regards
Pete

thanks! That worked
For others:
1) if you go back into source setup menu, it will default back to 0-3
2) refresh your screen console screen to see the change
