The Pixel resolution they give is NTSC which is 320x240 or 640x480 interlaced. Look at the links. OK, Problem solved. I think it was a shared memory thing. I couldn't enter the size of my camera, without getting a black screen. I called Q-see and they told me the NTSC pixel resolution is as stated ...

I am still confused, how can I figure out what the pixel resolution is from the information they give. Is there no way?

You'll find plenty.

Thanks

I am sorry if I missed it, but how I can't figure this out. I have 2 drives and have partitioned 1 completely for use with ZM. How do I make ZM use this partition (lets call it zminder for examples sake.) for storing all the databases etc. Thanks
