ZoneMinder Forums

hello there,
I am new to these forums so forgive me if I am posting to the wrong place/forum.
I have set up zm several times and I end up with the same or similar problems- cant connect to any camera even a basic usb webcam attached to the computer that linux is on. I have latest linux-mint.

I am new to linux and zoneminder (which is probably where the problem is) so I cant (dont know how)to do any terminal probing to diagnose the problem.

Any help would be great.

Tell us a bit about the cameras you are trying to connect. Have you tried to view the camera video with VLC? If so and it works the settings used in VLC will transfer to Zoneminder quite easily.
