New version working great so far...1.23.0 on Mandriva updated from 1.22.

Seeing the following in logs though....

Jan 23 21:09:47 ICS-ZM zma_m1[4215]: INF [Got alarm centre at 126,137, at count 176887]
Jan 23 21:09:47 ICS-ZM zmc_dvideo0[4266]: WAR [Buffer overrun at index 39, slow down capture, speed up analysis or increase ring buffer size]

I have a generic 8 port individual capture chip board with 7 camera currently connected. Running on an "old" 3.0Ghz/512M server.

Any suggestions

As your error message points out.
I would do these two things.

1> slow down capture, [Deferentially I would lower the capture rate to around 10fps.]
2> speed up analysis or
3> increase ring buffer size. [Yep increase the ring buffer size to twice your current setting and see if this solves your issues]. Once your operating OK, then crepe up the capture rate until your satisfied.

Hello Grahame,

Currently my capture rate is set to 2 FPS. I have doubled my ring buffer size. Will check out analysis. Just noticed that while tinkering I had a 1 meg of memory I have 512 of memory. Will increase that 512 to 2 Megs. Thanks for the ack.
