Ubuntu :: 8.04 - Zoneminder Box Will Not Connect To CCTV Camera
Nov 11, 2010
8.04 permissions. I have had ubuntu 8.04 running Zoneminder 1.22.3 for over 2 years with a capture card and cctv cameras. I just bought a Trendnet IP512p camera. My zoneminder box will not connect to it. The main error I get is, [Restarting capture daemon for ipcam, shared memory not valid], I am wasting time with shared memory settings. I just booted a live cd of 9.10 with Zoneminder 1.22.3 that I remastered from another system and the IP camera works fine. (It ran all night in the live environment.) From that test I have concluded I have a permission problem in my 8.04 install that is not letting www-data (the ZM process) access what it needs to grab the stream. From the same box I can stream the camera to firefox while using vnc to connect to it.

Has anyone gotten a DVR card to work with Zoneminder? I have a chinese DVR card in a Windows Box running 8 Cameras on software called SuperDVR. It seems all of these camera cards are the same, some made by Avermedia, or QSee. My card actually came with SuperDVR software that didn't work properly, the documentation was obviously bad chinese translation and I had a really tough time getting it to work on the Windows box initially. Finally I found that it just won't work with Windows 7 or 64 bit, so I reinstaled WinXP 32 bit onto the box and found an upgraded SuperDVR software on the QSee camera driver website. I've started using Ubuntu exclusively and would love to make the switch to Ubuntu for my Camera box. I'm wondering if Ubuntu will recognize the camera card. It's basically a TV tuner card, has 2 plugs that allow BNC pigtails to be input.
I was even thinking maybe running Virtual Box ontop of Ubuntu and run the DVR in Virtual XP. I'd really like to take advantage of the 64 bit hardware, so I was thinking about running Ubuntu Server 10.10 64 bit on this machine, is that a bad idea?

I need to get software for viewing my shop cameras from my laptop with wwan card. I have an ADT 8 camera DVR and a Motorola Netopia 3347-02 router from AT&T. My shop computer is running Windows 7 with RASPlus for viewing locally. I have a Dell Lattitude D520 laptop with Knoppix 6.2 and a WWAN card. What software do I need to view the cameras from the road? What do I need to do to get past my router? I hear that Zoneminder is not good enough to handle the 8 cameras.

I have a tv tuner card connected to a cctv camera for streaming, all works good in tvtime, cheese used to work but then I changed the resolution to a lower one and now it segfaults, purged reinstalled same issue, also I tried with mplayer, mencoder, mythtv (coludn't find any signal on the input) and camorama.
Code:
mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:input=1:channel=1:width=768:height=768:device=/dev/video0
And it displays lines through everything but I can see the messed up image, I believe this is due to the current input format being YVU420, I was able in another program to verify this by changing the input codec to yvuv i think it was, how do I change the in mplayer, mencoder, camorama has this bug too, how to change this setting ut codec in mplayer and mencoder, also canorama has this issue, but I can actually see everything, b/w and with lines through it. I am just trying to record video to AVI.

I currently have eight surveillance cameras setup that used to connect to a windows pc. I decided to throw away the old computer, take the dvr card from the old computer and use it in a new computer with ubuntu 9.10. However, till now I can't get the cameras to work.
I installed Zoneminder, and followed instructions from here and there with no useful results. What I currently have are monitors showing black screens, with the fps showing.
I am pretty much still a noob, so I am not sure where I went wrong. I do not get anything when i run XawTV (or maybe i don't know how to run it right).
when i run "lspci | grep Bt878" I get this
Code:
Following instructions from various places, this is what I have for the following files /etc/modules :
Code:
Code:
Code:
I followed the instructions for installing Zoneminder on Ubuntu 9.10: [url]
I also get some tips for setting up the tv card: [url]
What is confusing is I get a fps rate, which is a sign that the camera is working, but all i get is a black screen. The cameras used to work in the original windows setup, so i doubt that the cameras are not working.

I have a Panasonic DVCPRO HD camera with a Firewire output. I'd like to take the video footage off of the camera and put it into my Ubuntu (Studio, 10.04) machine. Unfortunately, neither my Ubuntu machine nor the camera seem to recognize a connection with each other.
I've only used this camera like this with Mac OSX, in which I press a button a couple folders pop up with everything in them which I can then digitize in Final Cut Pro. I'd prefer being able to use my Ubuntu setup with Open Source Software to view and edit this footage.
how to get ubuntu and this camera to talk to each other and play nice?

I have a recently upgraded OpenSuse 11.3 system (this problem also appeared to me in OpenSuse 11.2). I have a Sony DSC-W290 camera, and I would like to connect to this camera to get the photos. When I plug the camera to the USB the camera sets itself to "Memory Stick" but nothing happens on the Gnome Linux desktop. I assume that the system should automatically mount the filesystem as it does correctly with other devices (external USB disks and classical memory sticks).
This is the output of the last lines of 'dmesg'

I'm running FC13, and suddenly, when I try to connect a camera for picture download, the desktop icon that would otherwise open the camera's memory directory opens a network directory instead. Seems the inode is munged and misdirecting.
If I go
cd .gvfs
ls -i
I get
2 gphoto2 mount on usb%3A002,005 an inode of 2? gphoto2 is broken too, but I'm not as worried about that.

1. Need to connect 2 CCTV DVRs and view from remote. 2. Can get a static IP address. But I dont know if this is a secure way since any once can view if the know the ip address. 3. Question is : is it possible to connect the DVR( s) to a linux server which will get user name and password before letting us view the DVR. Currently there is one set as follows: 1. From location X a device is connected to location Y using leased line and static IP (12 kms distance). In location Y a router is placed and port forwarding is configured. From Location Z using internet and remote desktop concept the device at location X is viewed and data captured. Is it possible to use a similar concept but with some sort of security authentication procedure in place.

I've decided to give ZoneMinder a try with a simple USB webcam that I've had laying around. I installed it in a VMware machine, but I could not get the webcam to "pass trough" to the virtual machine, so figured I would install ZoneMinder on the "regular" server...
I installed it, got annoyed, and autoremoved it. Now, I'm trying to reinstall it using
Code:
apt-get install zoneminder
and I'm getting a bunch of errors,
Code:
Setting up zoneminder (1.24.2-2build3) ...
Starting ZoneMinder: DBI connect('database=zm;host=localhost','zmuser',...) failed: Unknown database 'zm' at /usr/share/perl5/ZoneMinder/Config.pm line 89

I just installed/configured Apache and also installed/configured Zoneminder to the best of my knowledge. I know Apache is running because I can go to http://localhost and see the simple webpage I made. Zoneminder starts fine and I added a monitor (camera) but when I click Monitor-1 to try and view the camera, it gives me just a black box where I should see the video. I think I'm very close, what do I need to do? I confirmed that my webcam is attached to /dev/video0 which is what I have it set to in the Zoneminder options.

I have Zoneminder 2.24.2 installed. It seems to work, however, when a client computer tries to use IE explorer to view the the camera the frame rate refresh is very slow (once every 10 to 15 seconds). If firefox is used to view it, it works at normal frame rate. What causes this?

This is my first time installing zoneminder, just downloaded the latest version and trying it on my slackware 12 box. I tested the card I ordered with xawtv and was able to see video just fine.
Zoneminder seems to start fine but I can't get it to stream video.

That's what I get when I try to view. I'm not sure if there is a log file I can check to see if there is an error.

I'm running a Debian installation from which I installed zomeminder using Synaptic Package manager. I fixed several issues with deprecated functions and other miscellaneous stuff. Finally have it working fairly well.However, not quite....zoneminder keeps hanging up as a review the captures in iceweasel. I click on the id field in the table and the event view shows up. After I review several, clicking the delete button on each to move forward Iceweasel hang up with the pinwheel spinning. If I completely close out iceweasel I can then start reviewing again.The following error message appears in the apache2/error.log.

I just completed a build of CentOS 5.5 server to be used for Zoneminder using these awesome instructions: [URL]The problem I have is I am trying to use a DVR card that there must not be any drivers in the OS for. The card is an 8-port DVR card with a Techwell 6805 chipset. Using Ubuntu, I had to download the driver using this command "git clone git://gitorious.org/tw68/tw68-v2.git" I just wanted to try CentOS and see how it works out. I just dont know how to download the drivers for this card.
Running lspci gives this output for the card:
