In your first post you said "(I've only just got around to having some time to sort/post this!!) to version 1.26.x all captures appear like this". How many cameras do you have? Your image appearance is the same as I got when I upgraded from 2 to 4 analog cameras. Can you disable one camera...

James, My config option for Motion are v4l2_palette 8 width 720 height 576 framerate 10 pre_capture 5 post_capture 5 snapshot_interval 60 ffmpeg_cap_new off ffmpeg_timelapse 5 ffmpeg_deinterlace on Each camera has its own config file containing two lines like this videodevice /dev/video1 webcam_port...

James, I appreciate your update. Motion is not the only software that works fine, Cheese GUVCViewer are OK too. My issue with ZM is described in http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=20784 where the problem and set up is described in detail. The image shown is static so should not suffer ...

IEB COPY.

Just go to the linkdelight website. This should work... http://www.linkdelight.com/ESC10-8CH-DVR-Card-H.264-200-240FPS-Audio-Video-Security-Card.html I never did solve the interlace corruption problem in zoneminder. It must either be a bug or a performance problem caused by the way zm is coded. The ...

i got the web interface for Motion working. No laggy interface like with ZM. Motion doesnt have all the options of ZM and its all configured with one or more text files. but there again it is working after a hour or so where-as ZM is still unuseable after weeks. I need to play with motion detection ...

I increased my RAM from 1Gb to 4GB but it didnt make any differece so I decided to install an alternation program called "motion" and this works OK with all 4 cameras. It records jpegs and creates an swf movie on all 4 camera concurrently, 10 jpegs per cam per sec. TOP shows 110% CPU while...

I cant remember where I found this but To fix the error 'media/ir-common.h', open tw68-core.c: gedit tw68.h Go to line 49 and remove/comment #include "media/ir-common.h" The driver works OK with Lubuntu 12.10 64bit and Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS 32bit. I did not have to install any other software ...

I am posting a follow-up incase anyone else has this problem and i want to document the whole story. I installed Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS and Zoneminder 1.24. I got exactly the same problems as described above. The only way to stablise the image is to reduce the max fps on all cameras to about 5. Looking ...

Hello theforce, I want the highest resolution possible from the system. The analog cameras are 700 TVL and I am using 704*576 and I used that with two cameras quite happily for a couple of years. Interlaced alternate line scans should have no effect on static images as above. You will notice that so...

Thanks for the suggestions. They seemed to help but do not fix the problem completely. The only thing that really works is to reduce the Max fps on all cameras down to about 5. Vetry disappointing for a card that supports 200 fps. It's been a nightmare to get this far with ZM 1.25 on Lubuntu, many L...

Yes. An analog camera will be fine at the lowest resolution if it is positioned directly in-front/behind the vehicle at a height of 0.1m and the vehicle goes directly over the cctv camera. On the other hand if you are standing to one side at a distance of 20m even an HD camera wont pick it up. There...

I am setting up ZM 1.25 from scratch on Lubuntu 12.10. For the last couple of years I used ZM 1.24 & Ubuntu 10.04. I posted some info in http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=20507 about my config. On my new install I am using a LinkDelight 8 channel card with two TW6816 chip...
