ZoneMinder Forums

Hello,

I'm new here.

Been using Linux and FreeBSD for a long time now, it's really cool to see some decent security software for Linux.

At the moment I have a WindozeXP PC running Incontrol's Quadcam software. I've just about had enough of it, it is sooooo bad

I have orderd a 4 port PCI capture card, but my question is. Has anyone tried the Quadcam USB 4 camera HUB with Zone Minder?

I think that it may well work ok with one camera but what is the chances I could use all 4 ports? Anyone tried it?

Haven't had time yet to build a new system to run Zone Minder, but should be doing it very soon.

Just received a brand new copy of Suse 9.1 Pro, so will probably use this. I see a couple of people have some minor problems with Suse 9.1, but it shouldn't be a big issue from what I can see. Or can someone recommend a distro that runs better with ZM?

Sorry about all he Q's,
TAI

bump!

Anyone?

I am currently running several ZM installations very succesfully on Fedora Core 2 systems (kernel 2.6.8 ). All needed libraries and tools very easily optainable (for example ffmpeg) since there are several repositories.
At the moment I can't recommend using Fedora Core 3 (kernel 2.6.9 ) since I am having various problems with it (not ZM relatted).

But have you tried running ZM on FreeBSD. Would be interested to know of any attempts you made

Not tried ZM on FreeBSD but as it uses V4Linux I can see it could be fiddly.

Was thinking of running it on Suse9.1 Pro as I have a new copy. Waiting for my 4port capture card and trying to find a PC to install it on.
