DVR Card Only Works In Black & White

Post by Kieran_Osborne »

Hey guys ive recently built a home CCTV system with the latest zone minder, I got a few colour cameras from a local store and a dvr card off Amazon

Now the trouble came when installing the DVR card with windows.. It has the be the most useless software ever so i turned to my linux box upstairs! After reinstalling CentOS 5.3 and Zoneminder everything was going ok until i hooked up the first camera! - It does work dont get me wrong but its in black and white when the cameras are ment to be in colour, Now ive spent hours messing round with the settings and nothing else seems to change it into colour!

I have read about being a "77" card and i have attempted to play around but still everything is black and white!

If possible can you suggest a DVR card that will work with up to 4 cameras possible on in colour on Amazon UK or help me solve this driver problem!

Card Details:

Well theres pretty much no information on the card or the box it came in but heres the page on Amazon - http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASI ... oh_product

Thanks in advanced and sorry if ive posted in the wrong bit!

Havent managed to get it to work other than in B&W, dump the card and start again.

Thanks for your help!

The modprobe code is perfect and doesnt give me any errors on bootup like previous attemps and now everything is in colour! Oh how i have missed colour!

Have you had any luck getting your cameras in colour?
