USB Camera - Device path.....
Posted: Tue Apr 05, 2011 6:45 pm
I have read until my eyes are crossed, I've searched via Google and forums and still am at a loss.
I've got a running version of Zoneminder 1.24.2. Works well on the server and is accessible by other machines on the network. This is residing on an ubuntu 10.10 box.
I've hooked up a Microsoft Lifecam HD-6000 via the USB port on the server. I've tested the camera on GUVCViewer and found it works very well. GUVCViewer uses the following settings for the camera:
30 FPS
1280X720 Resolution
MJPG Camera output
Video Codec: MJPG
Video Format: AVI
I attempt to use the same camera in ZM. My problem is that I don't know what device path I should be using. I've tried the default /dev/video0 with no luck. I've done lsusb and found that the camera is listed on bus 001 Device 004. I've tried /dev/video/4 and dev/video/004 both with no luck.
I am barking up the wrong tree here?
