Can someone point me in the right directions for setting up monitors?
I just installed 1.21.0 on a new install of FC3.
I have zm running and can see console.
I am not sure about how to set up a montor for each of my cameras.
One is an Axis 2100.
The other is Logitech USB Quickcam Orbit.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks,
chris

I haven't tried to set up a usb cam but if you search the forum you would probably find some info.
If you run into any problems, post the errors and a discription of the system here and we can help work them out.

Check your dmesg and you should find some lines like this

pwc Logitech QuickCam Pro 3000 USB webcam detected.
pwc Registered as /dev/video1.

For the setup in ZM select Source type Local
Device Number (/dev/video(X)) = X
Device Channel then usually = 0
Capture Palette (My QuickCam uses YUV420P) but try if it works with RGB24
Capture Width / Capture Height start out with something like 320x240

You can also use the zmu script to give you an idea of the settings to use

Small Hint!
If you're running 2 Cams and want to use them both at 640X480 don't forget to increase your shared memory in sysctl.conf

# The default shared memory limit
kernel.shmall =
kernel.shmmax =
