ZoneMinder Forums

I found a couple threads where people spoke of the EasyCap USB. On DealTime you can pick them up for around $12:

There were a couple projects I found where people were getting them to work with Linux:

Has anyone got one of these to work with Zoneminder? I have a box with one PCI-X slot and was trying to avoid purchasing an 8 channel card to add some more cameras.

Your kind of on your own with that hardware but it looks like you might have a shot

I compiled the patched drivers for stk1160 4 CH and they works with program that are able to set or switch between the four channels, like xawtv, zoneminder, etc. ...

I would be interested to see if theses work. It would be great with the modified routers.

I would say try it $12 buck is cheap for hardware post back if you do go with it.
also if you can check for conflicts by puging in 2 of them.

also
- Configurable auto reboot function for preventing PC deadlock.
spund like dressing up a bug as a feature but it may be win specific

Shoot, at $12 it's worth a try. I'd be interested as well to see how well they work. I'm looking at a few setups with 16 channels and this would be great over using a couple 8 port cards. Slap a 4 port hub on a computer, maybe inside even, and run the video cables.

Thas Prob where the problem is gona be right there linux usb camera drivers sometimes don't play nice

Google for Easycap DC60, Easycap DC60++ or XP STK1150.

I've recently uploaded version 0.8.3 of the Linux device driver for the EasyCAP DC60:

With two inputs on a single 4-CVBS EasyCAP I am seeing about 1 frame per second for each input in the ZoneMinder console.
