Streaming v4l2 device to Zoneminder?

Post by pashdown »

I have a low end box with 4 bttv encoders on it running Ubuntu. They show up as v4l2 devices. I'd like to stream these over to Zoneminder in the most efficient and high quality way possible. I've mucked around with vlc for past couple of hours and not been able to get anything working. Does anyone have an example to use vlc as a server for Zoneminder, or a suggestion for a better server?

Used to use Vlan for this exact thing but a couple of versions ago it broke, reverting back doesn't help; can't seem to get the syntax right. Trying GStreamer to convert USB MJpeg to Jpeg but having trouble here too! Of course I should admit there was a firewall issue in this mix so I have to start from scratch...
