ZoneMinder Forums

Hi.
I am using zoneminder 1.22.3 on Mandiva Linux. I also use SecuInfo Sentry 2016 capture. I looked for supported cards in bttv list but i could not find my card. The capture has 16 inputs, but I initialize only 2. Can anyone tell me if there is something like analogue card in the listed models to this model?

Post a picture, an lspci, and your /var/log/dmesg for us here.

And this is from dmesg log:

I also gived this capture default no 77 " GrandTec Multi Capture" because sentry is not in the list.

Well, it ain't a 77. From the lspci, it looks like a 2 chip card. That means 8 channels per card, which also doesn't sound right. Now the web site http://www.sentry.co.kr/eng/index.htm says it is a 120 fps card, which means 4 chips, but Linux is only seeing 2. You will need to do some work to figure out this card.

It is my mistake. I am sorry. The model is Sentry 1516 with two chips.

I have seen issues before with single chip cards reporting they are 50 fps devices. This would explain the 120 fps 2 chip question. Unfortunatly i dont think bttv driver supports these chips yet

I changed the cards with Sentry 2016 because card no 131 in bttv list (Tibet Systems DVR CS16) is with same prameters as Sentry 2016,but now i have 4 working inputs and whatever channel i am using the picture is te same as others.

I am continuing to "fight" with Sentry under Linux. Can anyone tell me what is the matter of these variables:

subsystem: 8475:6f22 (UNKNOWN)
gpio: en=00000000
out=00000000 in=00ffff80 [init], from dmesg log?

I found out that whatever driver i use these variables are the same.
