Setting up ZoneMinder
Hello all!
So I have Zoneminder installed and mostly setup but I'm stuck. The problem is that I have No picture on the feed page and the source "/dev/video0" is red. Ask any questions you need and I will answer Thanks!! |
Depends on your camera really. What is the output format from the camera ?

I cant find any data on webcam-101.... |
Where did you get that spec list from ?
|
That was the output of:
Code:
$ sudo zmu -d /dev/video0 -q -v -U admin -P admin |
Any other software you can try the camera on ?
camorama, gideo ? |
Yea the camera works in cheese and xawtv
When viewing from the zm console all i see is white with a broken image icon in the middle |
OK a little progress....I think.
I ran the command: Code:
sudo usermod -a -G video www-data Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/zoneminder restart |
You have to play with the ZM settings. You should test it from another computer with firefox and see if you get an image through.
I take it you've set the monitor function and the url for accessing it remotely ? http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index..._in_ZM_Console |
I tried it with firefox. Same thing. Is there a way to diagnose where the problem actually lies?
|
You can do this faster if you read the ZM forums and readme's.
Did you try everything in that link I posted ? Its your ZM config that's probably to blame. You have to fiddle with the ZM monitor settings |
Yea, I actually do read the manuals lol. I've been researching this for days and only came here as a last resort. I guess I can ask elsewhere if necessary...
|
Well if it works in xawtv then there is a good chance it should work with ZM. But there are lots of settings.
