Camera connection becomes slow, ZM loses connection
Posted: Thu Sep 30, 2010 2:13 pm
I have ZM running great with a webcam - live view works, events capturing etc. However, after 12 hours or so something goes wrong. I'm new to ZM so I'm not sure where to look...
It appears from the log below that ZM loses the camera conection. I tried to test my camera connection and ZM sees the camera (see second code window below), but it takes almost 30 seconds for ZM to respond to the zmu command - which might be why ZM is giving up on the camera. Normally (after a reboot) this zmu command is instantaneous.
Clues? Help! Thanks
Relevant content from system log:
Result of "zmu -d /dev/video0 -q -v -U admin -P admin" command
I think the clue here is that the zmu command takes 30 seconds to get info from the camera, whereas after a fresh reboot its instantaneous. Not sure what to do with that....
