I can't seem to get my second camera (/dev/video1) to work at the same time as the first (/dev/video0). It works separately, so I know it works. video0 has a channel of 0, does video1 need to have a different channel? I've tried using the same channel and a different channel, but it hasn't made a di...

Thanks Paco, but I already have dropbox installed on my partition. The difficulty I'm having is getting Zoneminder to recognize the size of the partition and calculate the amount of disk space used correctly (for the purposes of having the audit delete old events so I don't go over my dropbox storag...

I'm trying to move the events & images directories to a separate hard drive partition (3 GB) that is being synced with Dropbox, and have the disk percentage show correct the amount of space used on the partition on the ZM console page. Zoneminder 1.24.1 Ubuntu 9.10 The partition is mounted in /e...

I just got a Logitech Quickcam E 3500 going, albeit at a low resolution. I'd recommend starting with the lowest resolution. Once picture is working, then you can graduate to higher resolutions. The pdf at this link came in handy: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=logitech%20uvc%20frame&...

134217728 is the standard value for both. This is generally good for a resolution of 320*240. To go to 640*480 you really need to double shmmax. Calculation is based on this wiki post and experience: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/FAQ#What_does_a_.27Can.27t_shmget:_Invalid_argument.27_err...

Why delete the shmall/shmmax entries? This is almost certainly the problem with resolution. My installation didn't seem to work with the command in there. Like I said above, it was probably calculated for someone else's machine configuration. Can you tell me how to calculate the correct shmall/shmm...

I am guessing that possibly deleting and recreating the problem monitor might have resolved the issue as well. Anyway, my issue is solved, I'm just posting this hint in case anyone else runs into the same issue. Thanks! My camera was set to modect and wouldn't stop recording unless I stopped it man...

Okay, I now have video. I deleted this line from the sysctl.conf: kernel.shmall = 134217728 kernel.shmmax = 134217728 And I added the line below to zmdc.pl per a link I found online. I added it just above "my @daemons =…." around line 64. $ENV{LD_PRELOAD} = ‘/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so’...

Resolution and palette are critical for all cameras (their output vs ZM's expected input, they must match exactly); the only reference I can point you to is: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Hardware_Compatibility_List for settings. If you can get the stream into Firefox then select view::p...

Thanks BB99, I'll give it a try tomorrow night when I get home.

Hello, I cannot see any video when I click on the camera name, and I see /dev/video0 in red text. I am running Ubuntu 9.10 (fresh install) Zoneminder 1.24.1 Logitech Quickcam E 3500 (USB connection) I used the instructions at the link below, but stopped after setting t memory in sysctl.conf because ...
