hello

I connected logitech c 120 to usb port (dmesg: /dev/video0).
What presets should I use for those cam?
How can I chcek is it recognized by ZM?
I created monito-1 (/dev/video0(0)), device format: PAL, capture palete: jpeg

but when I click on Name: monitor-1 there is no jpeg or streaming
when I click probe I get:
"Unable to probe local cameras, status is '9'"


How to set it ?

Read up on the shared memory issue by doing a search.. it's everywhere.

As for that specific cam, you need to enable V4L compatibility. AS a quick fix, you can do this:

echo /usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so >> /etc/ld.so.preload

I`ve compiled v4l in kernel.

What`s is this:
01/24/11 16:29:55.540810 zmwatch[8930].ERR [Can't get shared memory id '7a6d0003', 3: No such file or directory]

I`ve just 1 usb cam, and 128 MB RAM.

V4L compatibility is not the same thing as compiling V4L in the kernel.

But logitech c120 is UVC camera. I started it with for example: fswebcam, webcam. So I think its`s not problem with v4l. It`s problem with shared memory. Should I`ve /dev/shm in my system?I don`t understand what is wrong witch thic log message.

I think it`s popular zoneminder bug. There is many about this bug in google,but stil no solution ;(
