StarCam C7823WIP

Linux Mint, added the ppa to get the 1.28 version, installed through the package manager. I'll have a look later at the link you gave.

What I do notice is that when the camera is switch on, a process called zmc uses some 25% of my CPU and a sizable chunk of memory. This process becomes idle when the camera is off.

ZMC ZoneMinderCamera each Monitor runs one of these, and a high resolution high fps camera will keep cpu busy.

So that confirms that the camera is working and zmc is actually receiving the signal (indeed it's a high-res camera; no idea on the frame rate it pushes out).

Now how to get this through to the web interface so I can see it and do stuff with it - specifically, take regular screen shots? As suggested in other links, the probable problem is my apache configuration. I have this now in my /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/zoneminder.conf file:

Code: Select all

Alias /zm /usr/share/zoneminder

<Directory /usr/share/zoneminder>
  php_flag register_globals off
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
  <IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.php
  </IfModule>
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /usr/share/zoneminder/cgi-bin
<Directory "/usr/share/zoneminder/cgi-bin">
    AllowOverride None
    Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Any suggestions on how to get ZM to work?
