ZoneMinder Forums

Picture w/ monitor name only, no video or timestamp.
Zoneminder 1.23.3 running on Debian 5.0.1, camera is PV-149.

Debug log says "Timed out waiting to get brightness" all settings are at -1.
The odd thing is this worked at one point and I can't figure out what broke it.
I deleted a monitor and added 4 new ones and suddenly things stopped working.

Additional info from zmdc.log:

Thanks for all help!

I got this problem sorted out.
The PV-149 video inputs appear as channel 0 of video0,video1 and so forth and not channels 0-3 of video0 as I first thought.
Perhaps someone else will benefit from this information.
