I would agree with tibetfreedom comments you will need to install a GUI for a display of the cameras, if you do install one of the resource friendly GUIs then you might find out that a continus monitor window uses a fare amount of the CPU run time, one solution that I have made is a simple webpage t...

you need to find out the type of camera and chipset installed in the laptop and install the kernel drivers for it, if Ubuntu has not already done so then its my guess that it would be beyond your abilities to get the camera working easily. If the laptop was supplied with linux already installed by t...

Ah, getting the dreadded mmap errors now! Have come across this with my last working build in the past so will crack on with fixing...however find it slightly odd that I wasn't experiencing this with the .2 install? Clipo did you experience this error @ compile time by any chance, too? configure: e...

ZM crashes when ever your drive is full, have you deleted all of the images from the images folder and followed and hence emptied your drive then do the database repair procedure.

I'm still get the same errors with the latest rpmforge repo of ffmpeg and when I build it from svn, The solutions highlighted inside this post allow me to build and install ZM but there are problems with the install and some functions are broken or missing.

Hello, What you are suggesting is easy with 2 more more zoneminder systems, if you have your central system working as you want acting as the DVR ect then if you install zoneminder on the remote system and just have the monitors as 'monitors' no need to store or do any image detection and just uses ...

For future reference for others that might come across this post, can you let me know what the card is you're using, why its not well supported and the exact details of how you sorted it.

Thanks

Im happy its working for you.

What is the rest of your system / setup Time lag might be because the capture card you are using is of the single chip pico2000 type, But as it stands your system is more than powerful enough to do zoneminder perfect, are you running any other application on the system as well.. more information nee...

Have you configured the modprob.conf, as per

Why is the image from my color camera appearing in black and white? This may occur if you have a NTSC analog camera but have configured the source in ZoneMinder as PAL for the Device Format under the source tab. You may also be mislead because zmu can report the video port as being PAL when the came...

There are some pre-defined setting already built in to Zoneminder When you enter into the setup box that you got the above information from there is a button with presets, you want to use those for the core resolution and video type, you only really need to give it a name and point it to your BT878 ...

The Pico2000 like all of the clone single BT878 chip cards can only capture one frame at a time, because there is only one A/D inside the chip that is multiplexed to 4 input channels so it will support 4 cameras at the same time but will only capture a single image from each one in turn. edgar5's ex...

From my basic understanding of ZM it fills the memmory with its buffer images before and during analysis then if needed will write it to disc.

So judging by the resolutions your using the memmory requirement will be fairly high, try stopping ZM and see if the memmory if free'ed up after.

Thats just what I was after,

thanks

Did you get any further with this function.
