saa7134 and Cameras

Post by nodrama »

Good Morning,

Hope someone here can give me some guidance regarding my setup.

I have zoneminder 1.25 on Ubuntu Server installed with a Camsecure PCI 8 Channel Video Card http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... eo_capture .

I've 5 Cameras, Twilight CCTV direct range connected via RG59 with BNC's.

The problem is I can only get two of the camera's going, these are /dev/video(0) 0 and /dev/video(1) 1, the three other cameras are defined subsequently /video(2) 2 and so on, though these are not producing any images within ZM, I've checked for power with a multimeter and they are fine, I've changed and ensured that the BNC's are installed correctly.

Could anyone here shed any light regarding my setup.

The box which ZM is installed on is a brand new 'HP Proliant ML115 G6', 4GB RAM.

Any suggestions are wholly welcome.

Many thanks in advance.

James

Try changing the channels to 0, i.e. video0(0), video1(0), video2(0) etc.
