Hi

I'm having problem installing the chip: 878A

Such a card like this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/8-Channel-Real-time ... 286.c0.m14

Zoneminder installed with. RPMs
http://liquid-co.de/pub/suse/repositori ... x86_64.rpm

information: OpenSUSE 11.1 / Intel Core 2 Quad / 4GB RAM / GA-G31M-ES2L

Zoneminder starts and after entering the address of the program operates, but does not display the image.

Anyone have an idea what could be the problem?


Thanks for any suggestions

The camera can run under KDE in the "MoTV" or "kdetv" but only if the camera is plugged into port 1 on the other 7 ports, no picture.

In zoneminder on each channel no video.


Pls .. help me:) I have no ideas

Are you sure it the card is not on /dev/video0

if you started with 0 then change it back and post logs

Yes, I checked video0,video1.....video7 Device Path in ZoneMinder settings monitor and does not work, the logs do not change, are still the same for /dev/video0..../dev/video7



Thanks for interest that topic.

ok try running see what is there video0-etc



next did you set the shared memory see faq

last are all configured cameras capturing the same size and color mode.

FAQ? you mean documentation zonminder?
http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... umentation
if yes, I can not find a point of information about setting up share memory

if it is not a problem, please give the point to which this information relates

I have only one camera at the moment now.

Success! Almost 100%


I uinstall zoneminder v1.24.1 and v1.23.3 installed.

The image is ok, and zero errors in the logs, so can consider that everything is working properly.

This is not a perfect solution because I use older version of the software zoneminder.


Perhaps the author of the program will improve the error in the next version, as I waited to use the software fresh.


Thanks for the help and interest this topic of Mr. kingofkya


PS: If anyone has any ideas for running ZM v1.24.1 to invite you to entry in this post.
