Hi This was over a year ago - so my memory is a little vague :-) If I remember correctly it ended up being a memory issue - I know I ended up having to add more memory to the server. The server has been running with very few issues since then, the cheap SAA7134 cards cause some very weird errors. I ...

Hi All, I have just moved my 8-chip SAA7134 card to a new server with a quad-core Phenom II processor, to improve performance. However, I am now getting weird problems with the monitors. The are randomly stoping/going black and the logs show Feb 17 12:19:32 sentry zmc_dvideo5[5866]: WAR [Capture fai...

I have just upgraded to the SVN verison, and I can confirm that it does fix this issue.

I don't get hundreds of httpd processes any more.

Thanks

Do you leave the Montage view open? I have a similar problem in CentOS, if I leave the Montage view open in a browser it will generate hundreds of httpd processes each with files open......this eventually hits either the apache maximum if I set ti low enough of hangs when it runs out of file handles...

Try out jZMConsole and don't even use the montage view. Just a suggestion and it's working great with my setup. This looks interesting, and seems to work really well - however I still need access to the web montage as I have several webonly frontends to view the cameras. Also try this fix: http://w...

thanks for the reply, but I know about the apache process limits - these are already set to sensible figures. After more investigation it seems the problem arrises if 1 of my cameras srews up. I get a INF [Got signal 15 (Terminated), exiting] in the syslog and 1 of the monitors stalls with a fixed i...

Hello

I am seeing the same problem, very large negative numbers for FPS and also large numbers for the Zoom.

Does any one have any ideas why ths woudl happen.

I am also using CentOS 5.3 x86_64.

I'm trying to do [root@xxx ZoneMinder-1.24.1]# ./configure --with-webdir=/var/www/html/zm --with-cgidir=/var/www/cgi-bin --enable-mmap and it show an error configure: error: zm requires Date::Manip How about installing the Perl Module Data::Manip ? cpan -i Date::Manip you will also find it needs so...

Hi All I have recently moved my zoneminder server from an old machine to a new 1.24.1 instance, and I am seeing a strange problem. Everything seems to be set up fine, using my 8-chip SAA7130 card and currently 6 cameras. However, when I watch them through 'montage' the server quickly produces 258 di...

Hi All After help from this forum I managed to get my saa7130 8-port card to work and I have all 8 video devices, however it seems to be very unstable and the monitors work for a few minutes and then go black with this in the syslog. zmc_dvideo1[24361]: WAR [Capture failure, possible signal loss?: [...

Thank you both very much!

I have upgraded to the Plus kernel - and I now have video0-8 devices!

I will now install zoneminder and see if it all works!

Thanks again!

Hi All I am trying to install a new zoneminder server, but I cannot get it to recognise my saa7130 card! I am using Centos5 with a 2.6.18 kernel, and lspci shows all 8 of the "Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01)" chips, but there is no enties in dmesg regarding ...

Brilliant!

thanks that was the problem. I removed the file and now I have successfully restarted that zoneminder server.

I am now back to 2 zoneminder severs and 7 cameras

Hi All I have had a working ZM server for several weeks, but since a reboot it has stopped working. When I change the 'Run State', I get the following in the logs Sep 19 18:06:03 topaz zms[9527]: ERR [Shared memory not initialised by capture daemon] Sep 19 18:06:07 topaz zmpkg[9534]: INF [Command: s...

Sorry - ignore that!

I have fixed it - it is was in NTSC eve though I bought the camera in the UK.......

But I have a pcture now

thanks
Phil
