What is the native resolution of the Axis camera that you are using (or which model of camera)? Which version of zoneminder and Linux? Axis cameras (some) are well discussed in these forums and generally reported to work under ZM. I can report that using Ross' 1.21.3 live cd set to motion detection with two DCS-900 cameras, on an Athlon 850 that 320 x 240 worked ok, but when increasing the resolution, the system load increased to the point where stability became an issue let a lone the intermittent video; so system load is also a potential issue. Many more details are needed to help.

Same problem here. I have a fresh Ubuntu 7.1 install running ZM 1.23.3
I am using Axis 206 and they are currently working fine on another Ubuntu 7.1 system with ZM 1.23.2. I am replacing the old server with a new one so I have both systems up and running. Like previously stated anytime I up the resolution past 320 I do not get any video. I am pretty sure that all the settings are the same between the old server and the new one. ANy help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
