Cameras locking up

[roadharley2]

i have two cameras set up and they work well for three or four minutes and then one of them will lock up. When i click to go to either camera all i get is a white screen and if i close out of that i have to completely close firefox sometimes even reboot. No errors showing in the zm logs. Any ideas?

You setup would be nice to know camera , linux distro, logs, etc..

sorry,
one camera is a BU550A from bluecherry, and the second is a CV-50 Costar (previously used in machine vision application)
I'm using Ubuntu 9.1, Zoneminder 1.24.1

sounds like roughly the same thing that is happening to me

when the screen 'goes white' is it basically sitting there trying to load the page, but not getting a response? as if though apache has stopped responding?

thats the way it looks on mine (but of course, apache isnt stopped, its running fine, but the zoneminder site just stops responding)

i also have to either close firefox, or sometimes restart the zm service.

[roadharley2]

exactly the same as mine
