Are you sure Genuis cam supports 640*480? I'm seeing allot using 704*480. The camera output and the ZM monitor configuration must match exactly (both resolution and palette). Another possibility is your shmmax value is too low for this cam. To eliminate that, change the shmmax value in /etc/sysctl.conf to a value of 268435456.
