Hi all and sorry for my bad english.
Just a little problem.
Installed zoneminder, mysql and apache, under Ubuntu 12.04 lts.
from the web I open normally the zm web interface, but my local webcam is not detected.
these are the webcam data:
- 1-Logitech-C310.png (66.08 KiB) Viewed 4258 times
this is zm interface:
- 2-zm-interface.png (26.1 KiB) Viewed 4258 times
This is the webcam interface:
- 3-zm-local.webcam.png (46.78 KiB) Viewed 4258 times
The webcam is not running under zoneminder, bu it normallly runs under cheese, skype, Video4Linux Contro Panel and guvcwiew.
how can I solve my problem please.
Thanks in advance.

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.

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.
