Hi,
First i'd like to say thanks to the Author for a great program, but i am having a few issues getting everything working correctly.
Firstly, my system is an Athlon 64 X2 5000 with 1 gb of ram, and i'm running CentOS 5.2.
I have 2x Logitech QuickCam S7500 cameras that use the uvc_video driver and mjpeg_streamer.
Then i have a single Logitech QuickCam Go, that uses the gspca driver.
I have svn'd the latest code for both.
ZoneMinder is at 1.23.3 and i am using the default settings for buffers, image size for all 3 cameras is set at 640x480 at 5 fps.
Currently all monitors are set at modect
mjpeg-streamer is streaming at 5 fps also.
When i first boot the computer, everything works great but over time things slow down and i seem to get a bit of lag or delay between motion and when it appears in the monitor. The longer i go, the worse the lag seems to get and eventually either all cameras stop working, and show as red in the ZoneMinder console, or the server just crashes and i have to reboot it.
Does the machine not have enough ram, or perhaps i'm trying to stream the video too fast, buffers not big enough, etc.
I see no errors in the log that relate to buffer overruns or anything that looks like an error.
anybody have any clues as to how to fix this ?
Thanks.

I had considered that the box does not have enough ram, as some people on this forum have mentioned servers with 4 gigs of ram.cordel wrote:Don't Leave the browser open on the server would be my first guess, sounds like your running out of memory.
I have ordered some more ram that will bring the machine to 2 gigs of ram, but it's a stand alone server that does nothing else and i'm not running an X display on it.
I will try reducing the fps further and see if that makes a difference.
