Camera shows no image (but its turned on)

Post by taleigo »

Hey

I am using fedora 20, and its all well configured.
Its almost all working but the camera.
Camera turns on but gives no image, i think the problem is not in the zoneminder, but its in the console.
Unfortunatly, logs are not very helpful becouse i get no errors from them.
Logs just say that camera is capturing and processing, but it shows no image.
Can some1 help me pls?


Thanks
taleigo

More information please:

How is the camera configured - a dump of the 'general' and 'source' tabs from the monitor window would be helpful.

There is an excellent (but long) troubleshooting section on the Wiki - http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... leshooting - have you followed any of the steps here?

I guess the best place to start is determining if your camera is actually working as expected - if using V4L (direct connection to a capture card) you can follow the steps for xawtv or zmu to gather more information. If it's a remote (IP/network based camera) then can you use your connection information from the source tab to connect using a web browser?

I have a similar problem with one of my 2 cameras, it may require lots of troubleshooting to get a stable installation.

Good luck - post the additional information and we'll see if we can get you working.
