5 is the recommended rate; I can't imagine that's too fast for 2 cameras.
What happens if you have 2 cameras on one chip, and nothing on the other 3?

Re: Performance tuning time
I'm using about 60MB of swap atop 6GB of physical RAM; free says 1.8GB or so available. And the other machine, alas, is having disk controller problems, and I haven't been able to get it to boot. That said, I would expect *less* trouble with the 32-bit install, since the binaries are half the size. ...

Re: lines on screen when second cam is added on channel
Ah, capture cards. I remember capture cards.
Could your frame rate be too high? It takes a finite amount of time for the video switch in front of the A/D converter to settle. You generally need an entire frame for each switch.
What frame rate are you recording at?

Re: Camera shows no picture. Socket does not exist
Check the filesystem permissions all the way along the path to
/usr/lib/zoneminder/cgi-bin/nph-zms
and make sure *the webserver owner user* has permission to search to there and execute. It sounds like your filesystem permissions have gotten ganked somewhere.

Re: Camera shows no picture. Socket does not exist
Jannnfe: "/zoneminder/" is an unusual thing to see in that pathname; it's customarily /zm/.
Did you pick /zoneminder/ in your install on purpose?

Optical focus?
No, I believe you'll have to do that with external code.

Re: Camera shows no picture. Socket does not exist
Not quite. 'Client denied by server config' is the important sentence there, and it means that your Apache configuration is messed up somehow.

Re: Camera shows no picture. Socket does not exist
Look in either
/var/log/apache/error_log or /var/log/httpd/error_log
whichever you have, and see what error is showing up when you call nph-zms.
That should be a hint what isn't configured correctly -- which is usually what this is.

Re: Signal loss causes blue screen that requires camera reset
I do agree with your diagnosis -- and of course, it *really* means that the firmware in the camera isn't rugged enough... hey. Have you checked to see if there's new firmware for the cameras?

Re: For all OpenSuse user
Find the error_log file for Apache -- usually in something like
/var/log/apache or /var/log/httpd
and see what it says when you try to open a camera viewer.
The #1 problem with this is that Apache, ZM's PATHS config, and the filesystem don't all agree on where nph-zms lives.

You're right. I was paying insufficient attention to which objects were having their ownerships set incorrectly.

Re: Issue changing the apache user/group
I would be betting on the Apache service itself. Or perhaps it's called the httpd service in that distribution. Is it deterministic which order those two start in? My comment was mostly a vast and considered distaste for the design of systemd in the first place rather than an actual target to shoot ...
