hi,
i'm using zoneminder 1.24.1 on HP server machine.

when i add remote camera, sometimes it shows black screen. and the source line become red.
i have to edit the camera to make it works again.
actually, i didn't need to edit anything, just open "edit" dialog, and save it.
it works, and the source line goes to orange again.

but it just a temporary, untill it black screen again. :x

i already change the shared memory, following this thread:
http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9692
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 4194304000
but still, a black screen always appears.

it only happens on remote camera, local is fine (webcam).

any suggestion??
