Hi all and sorry for my bad english.

Your logfile (last post) says "Failed to stat /dev/video:" ... can you check that you have used /dev/video0 everywhere you should in the config?

It looks like you might have an errant /dev/video that does not exist, whereas /dev/video0 does.

You need to provide a video format and a valid palette. Try with PAL and UYYYV, I will post the correct config later.

After more than 15 years, no longer using ZM as surveillance system.
Now in the dark side, using a commercial system...

Ok, adjusted video format on PAL and palette on UYYV and now the camera runs.

Now, how can I find the archive where the events are saved?
How can I modify the destination folder where the events are? (I would like to use a storage hardisk, for zoneminder storage only).
thanks.

The default location depends on the ZM version and Linux distribution. I would say that the most common is /usr/share/zoneminder/events.

There are many posts talking about changing the default location, and also some entries of the wiki. Please, use the search option of the forum.
