It seems that in device manager my BT878 card from bluecherry.net (pv-149card) has been detected just fine and seems? to be running. Zoneminder itself is totally setup, however when I add a camera, all i get is a blue screen? What does this mean? Do I have to modify some hardware setting? Below are my screenshots of what's going on, any help is totally appreciated and once I get this, my first ZM box up and running, I'll be sure to make a very generous donation to show my gratitude =)
(*EDIT!!*) CARD DOES WORK IN XAWTV FINE THOUGH! THE ONLY PROBLEM IS ZM
I know I'm almost there, everything else in ZM seems to run fine, so all input is REALLY appreciated.
If anyone can point me to also somewhere on the forums/wiki where I can find comparions to recording images/vs video and what types of video to record at for the best quality and longest duration of time!
My other small questions were could anyone point me to where on the forum is an explanation to have ZM run on startup, and....where can I edit the directory to where any form of capture(image, video) is stored, so that I can have it on a 300 gig hard disk instead of my puny 15 gig distro hard disk, much thanks in advance!
If this works out, I will be putting up a handy ubuntu guide myself and some documentation of a zoneminder in a car project for portability of theft recovery or accident documentation
Simplest is to change the ports the camera is pluged into on the back of the card.
