OK, I'm a putz. I was doing the conversion to Kb and Mb, but I had not done bits to bytes. (Width*Height*Depth*Buffer*Cameras+(1*overhead))/bytes/kilobytes/megabytes (640 *480 *24 *80 *16 +(1*.10) )/8 /1024 /1024 = 1,125 Mb RAM Also, does the shmall and shmmax need to be the same as the the first ex...

I forgot to mention, yes I am using a Ubunt 64bit and it is using all 8gb of RAM

Thanks for the info, I had not see a repo for ZM. Any idea what the update time is between version numbers, ie 1.24.1 to 1.24.2?

I have a test box using an SVN download from a couple weeks ago which seemed fine with both IE and Firefox with ZM auth turned on.

32768 is the default. You are setting something else and it is resetting upon restarting? Are you using a LiveCD or compiled install?

I guess I'll run with Ubuntu 9.04 server. I am the most familiar with Ubuntu/Debian, but I do operate a RH 5.3 Zimbra mail server as well.

From a dev standpoint, is there a preferred OS for compatibility? From the package maintenance side, does any one flavor stand out as staying the most current?

Using the info I got here: What does a 'Can't shmget: Invalid argument .... I ran through the calculations for shared memory and I think I am either way off or I need to get much more RAM. I'm building up 16 cameras and would prefer to run them at 640x480 with 10fps and 24bit color. It seems 40 fram...

I'm building several new systems with a Dell Studio Core2 Quad with 8gb RAM, 1x 320gb, and 2x 1tb drives. The server is planned to be headless and accessed remotely. I will have physical access, but web and SSH (maybe FeeeNX) LAN and VLAN remote access will be the primary method. My current boxes ar...

Thanks, I missed that one.

Unfortunately not it is not recording anything.

It seemed to have been stuck with a 130000+ second event, not alarmed, but massively long.

Shoot, at $12 it's worth a try. I'd be interested as well to see how well they work. I'm looking at a few setups with 16 channels and this would be great over using a couple 8 port cards. Slap a 4 port hub on a computer, maybe inside even, and run the video cables.

Amazon has these Q-See cameras at a good price. Infrared and weatherproof with 60ft cables and basic mounts.

Ahh, missed that you are using IP. Good cameras though.

THanks, I'll give that a try.

I do have one question which I don't think has been asked.

Is there a way to run this in Linux? I'm building up some cheap video walls for camera display and need a lightweight, secure, OS other than windows which runs on old machines.

What am I doing wrong?

I want to record as long as there is any motion occurring on the camera. I seem to primarily get these 3-4 second recordings wher you can see someone walk into view, then walk halfway across, then end of recording.

What do I need to look for to adjust this?
