After looking at the source code, "Add New Monitor" button can be disabled for 2 reasons. 1) You don't have "Edit" privilege for monitors. 2) You are restricted to certain monitors. Make sure in user options that no monitor is selected! (Ctrl button removes selection) I made a te...

PHP 5.3 giving that error on persistent connections is a known bug, you can try my suggestion (best option in my opinion, no reason to use persistent connections in ZM) or change PHP version. EDIT: After reading the title again, it seems my fix won't do because we're talking about zma and not the we...

ZM uses persistent mysql connections, but many times i had mysql run out of connections, and mysql felt slow in general. If the database is on the same system as ZM, there is no reason to use persistent connections because the overhead of a new connection is minimal. Also, if you are using PHP 5.3, ...

Regarding problem #1, I can't reproduce it. I'm using ZM 1.24.2 with multiple cameras, using next or previous event buttons takes me to next or previous event for the same camera. Looking at the source code, it seems event.js is sending CMD_NEXT or CMD_PREV commands to zms, and zms queries an event ...

Seems like the chips on this card are saa7130, i dont have experience with that but you might want to go with a bt878 card, they are known to work well. I have a kodicom 8800 clone (with heatsinks installed by me), its working great so far (1 month). http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Kodicom_...

Most devices do share IRQs, but in some cases, it can cause conflicts. I see all the 8 chips are detected, and if they are all detected, it means the driver successfully managed to "talk" to all chips so maybe your problem is a software one, and maybe perhaps related to ZoneMinder. Also, w...

Hi, In some BIOSes, you can change IRQs for each pci slot. Also, try disabling some unused ports and such in the BIOS, this should free up some IRQs. You can disable these: - Printer port (LPT) - Mouse PS/2 port (if you use a USB mouse) - Serial port(s) - Onboard VGA (if you have onboard video but u...

You probably have this card (check the picture) or a clone of it (should look not much different): http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Kodicom_8800 The slow boot is because you removed the first line, which is necessary in your case. Regarding your problem, strange one. Try removing the pll opt...

I suppose the autoload option can be omitted, because this card doesn't have a tuner or a radio in it, so the driver probably wouldnt try to load those drivers anyhow, and if it does load those drivers, they are useless and should do no harm.
