I am using ZoneMinder on my Debian headless server
I am trying to use an easycap to use an analog security camera as a source.

Heres some information:

Code: Select all

seaurchin@98SeaTurtles-91:~$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 18ec:5850 Arkmicro Technologies Inc. 
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Code: Select all

seaurchin@98SeaTurtles-91:~$ ls /dev/video*
video0  video1

video0 is a webcam pointed at my server rack and it is working.

when I add video1 as a source on zoneminder on channel 0 I don't get anything
there are 32 ntsc channels so I really dont want to just go through them all and see if I can find it

any Ideas?

have you add the user used by zoneminder server (by default www-data) in video group?

Code: Select all
```
sudo adduser www-data video
```
