Howdy all! Recently came across ZoneMinder and it looks like it would be perferct for a low cost video security system. I have a "Logitech QuickCam Communicate MP" webcam that I've been trying to get working with ZoneMinder. I got ZoneMinder 1.24.2 installed on my Ubuntu 11.10 server. The install went fine, rebooted, then connected the Logitech QuickCam Communicate MP. I tried to add a monitor for the camera and it does not seems to be working with ZoneMinder.
Here are current settings I have entered for the camera ("Monitor-1").
General tab
Source Type Local
Function Mocord
Maximum FPS 3.00
Alarm Maximum FPS 15.00
Reference Image Blend %ge 7
Source tab
Device Path /dev/video0
Capture Method Video For Linux version 2
Device Channel 0
Device Format NTSC
Capture Palette YUYV
Capture Width (pixels) 320
Capture Height (pixels) 240
Preserve Aspect Ratio (not selected)
Orientation Normal
I clicked the probe link and I get this error...
"Unable to probe local cameras, status is '255'"
Also, on the server terminal window I see this error...
"uvcvideo: Failed to resubmit video URB (-27)."
and that message repeats over and over...
Can anyone confirm if this particular webcam should work with ZoneMinder? Also, do you have suggestions for the settings or anything else I need to change on the server to get this working?
Cheers and thank you for any help you have provide,
-Chris
