hi thx for reply , the card is from ebay is generic pico2000 and i buyed at low price aprox 20 euro , the chip of the card is conexant fusion and is the same card that apear in the wiki of zone minder called pico2000.

its rare because in lspci apears , and shows the name of the fabricant , but in /dev/video nothings apear i tried to change modes and other options but nothing works , zoneminder starts perfect but hardware fails.

What appears in your dmesg in regards to this card?
Also what distro and revision are you using?
