Hello,

i want to use an eyetoy camera on an raspberrypi. Experimental I started on my HP 2510p Notebook running Linux Mint 15 (3.8.0-19-generic). I installed Zoneminder, Apache .... made a link to apache and added www-data to video group. When I opened the Webinterface I cant get an Image of my Webcam. Is see only green jittering screen :-( I seached for solotions with the eyetoy camera but i got no results :-(

I installed cheese (simple webcam program) and the webcam works perfekt with it. What I have to set up in zoneminder to use the webcam? Device Format? Capture Palette?

lsusb:

Code: Select all

Bus 007 Device 003: ID 054c:0155 Sony Corp.
v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext:

Code: Select all

ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT
	Index       : 0
	Type        : Video Capture
	Pixel Format: 'JPEG' (compressed)
	Name        : JPEG
		Size: Discrete 320x240
		Size: Discrete 640x480
Can somebody help me?

Use the search option of the forum, sometimes it's really useful: http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... y+settings

There are more entries, maybe one of them has the solution for you...

Hope it helps,

Hello PacoLM,

thank you for you quick answer. You are right i had better search this bord or I done a mistake and skiped the post. I've exactly the same problem like patman in this post, but there is no answer to get an eyetoy camera working. I can't find informations about the configuration ....

Perhapst I've to install additional driver or mods ... but the cam is working with cheese :oops:
By the way, my knowlege in linux is not so good :roll:
