Ubuntu :: Server Set Up On A PC That Use For Video Surveillance?
Jan 11, 2010I have a server set up on a PC that I use for video surveillance. I have a UPS
backup power that lasts long enough to do a graceful shutdown when commercial
power goes out. Is there a way to turn the PC back on remotely without having to
be there physically? If for example I can log in remotely via Putty and do a shutdown
and halt my system; is there a hardware or a software method to power up the PC
remotely so that the surveillance can resume?
Ubuntu Installation :: Setting Up Video Surveillance Camera On Zoneminder
Mar 23, 2010I 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.
Hardware :: Install A Surveillance System From Barn To House
Mar 24, 2010I would like to install a surveillance system from my barn to my house. I have used linux based distros for some time. Currently using ubuntu. Need four cameras. Wifi or wireless. Audio and video. Color and Infrared. Not sure if I want a PC or DVR interface. I am very interested in supporting hardware outfits that support open source (FOSS). The barn is located four hundred feet away from the house. No problem with line of sight. I'm getting too old to drag my behind up to the barn in the middle of the night when newborns arrive.

Software :: Surveillance VHS Based Recorder (Audio And Video Capture)
Mar 2, 2009I have 4 video surveillance cameras with built-in microphones. The original VHS based recorder died and so I decided to build a PC based DVR for surveillance recording. Q-See will soon be shipping the QSPD4104 video/audio capture card that can capture both video and audio from 4 camera/microphone combos. (They also have the QSPD4114 with 16 a/v inputs) Is there surveillance software that can record both video and audio from multiple camera/microphone combos?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Recommendations For Recovery - No Route To Router?
Mar 24, 2010I messed up my Karmic install on my laptop trying to get wireless networking connection to behave better I'm not really sure what I did, but the problem I have is that, though it connects to my wireless network, it does not get a route to it. Any attempt to reach the router with a ping yields a destination unreachable. Trying to fix it in true hack fashion, I tried messing around with the static routes. I added an explicit route for my router (route add 192.168.0.1 wlan0) with no avail. I ensured there was a default route to the router which is a gateway outside of my LAN (route add default wlan0 gw 192.168.0.1). I have another route to my LAN network with a gateway of "*". I've done all this but the results are the same.
So, I'm interested in recommendations to fix this. Is there some networking setup/install procedure I can rerun? Does a recovery boot work? Or is it best to go back and reinstall Karmic? Are there other places that you might suggest I look to in order to fix this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: File System Recommendations For 10.4?
Jun 21, 2010I'm about to do an install from scratch of Ubuntu 10.4 and was hoping to get some advice on file systems. My plan is to use a solid state drive for the OS and a couple terabyte drives for data (64-bit machine, linux only). Should I use ext4 for everything (over, say, ext3)? I found a couple of threads here and elsewhere with mixed reviews but thought I'd ask again now that both the ext4 file system and the Ubuntu 10.4 release are a little more mature. Is the performance upgrade significant? Does anyone still see data issues with large files?

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Computer Recovery Usb Drive Recommendations?
Jan 24, 2011I have an old 160 GB HD I want to use as a bootable drive for the purpose of fixing computers and recovering lost files. I'm no computer wiz but I have fixed a few peoples PC's at chruch so I have become the defacto computer fixer uper. Many of you can probably associate with this. As soon as you help one person in a group with a computer suddenly EVRYONE needs help. But I enjoy it so anyway.. back to the topic.
Tools I normally use. Clonzilla: I like to Image a drive before I mess with it that way I can always go back to the original state encase I do something risky and make things worse. Hasn't happened yet but the day I don't do an image will be the day I kill somebody's file system and have to do a recovery.....
XP CD: Use it only for fixmbr and fixboot. I haven't ran into much file recovery yet but I've used a few linux file carvers before so something with this ability is a must. *Bit for Bit forensic style imaging- don't want to loose 'blank' sectors encase I need to do some file carving.
*Used space imaging - so I could if I had to image someones drive and put it on a smaller one if need be. This would probably have to be done with something with decent error handling like ddrecover or dd_recover. I cant remember which I used but it was great getting an OS off of a bad drive. But I put it on a larger one, so is there a way to image a drive and put it on a smaller one given the USED space from the original doesn't exceed the size of the new drive?
*Windows fixmbr- does linux have a tool to fix windows MBR?
*Windows fixboot - this is less likely to have a linux version but maybe you guys know of something?
*File recovery tools - File carving obviously, but I'd also like something that can find recently deleted files from the master file list without going threw the carving process.
*file system tools - gparted along with some tools to repair corrupted file systems, mostly windows but who knows when I'll need to fix ext3-4 systems for my machines.
*Virus scanners capable of scanning for viruses on a mounted windows drive.
*regedit tools - just encase I want to really dork someones machine up , j/k I'm laking in this area but again I can learn and I always have an image to go back to.
*any other tools I may need you guys can think of that may be of use for these type of things.
I've looked at SystemResueCD, Trinity Rescue Kit, and at this moment the best looking one is ubuntu rescue remix. I am willing to install additional tools if need be. It also needs to be able to run on a larg array of computer hardware, as well as very, very old computers... (I know I want my cake and eat it too .. but so far with my limited linux experience thats exactly what I get... eventually.) Again this will be put on a 160 GB drive to accommodate HD images so it still needs to be 'relatively' small and will be made into an external USB bootble drive. Short version I want a one stop shop bootable drive to do most common computer repair jobs.
Ubuntu Networking :: Recommendations For A Broadband Card?
Feb 15, 2011I am looking for recommendations for a broadband card for use in North Central Illinois.I want to go the prepaid route as I will not need the card on a regular basis.

So can anyone recommend a carrier and a broadband card that is Linux friendly and works well?

Jan 13, 2011I've been using an old Logitech Quickcam Express with the qc-usb drivers for years. It functions fairly well on older kernels with the patches that became available. Works on a Slackware 11 box with a 2.6.15.1 kernel, but I can't get the driver to compile on newer kernels, and I don't want to spend days trying to find patches that may or may not work.
I'd like to get a cam that I can use without too much difficulty on a Slackware64 13.1 box with a >2.6.36 kernel.
Server :: Recommendations For CMS Software
Nov 16, 2010I have agreed to set up a server to run an existing website from a hosted solution. This is no problem I have setup Centos 5.5 64 bit, all running OK. The existing site is single directory HTML with a very small amount of Java script.The user has no technical knowledge and would like to be able to go in and modify their site, sadly vim is not an option
Has anyone got any suggestion of single or multi site CMS solutions that are easy to set up and use. I would also need to import the existing site. I do not have weeks to spend learning a new product at the moment though I would love to do so.
Ubuntu :: Longer Use Wireless Other Debian-based Recommendations?
Feb 15, 2010I am a Ubuntu/Ubuntu-based linux fan but sadly I have a computer based on the intel 3945ABG chipset that Canonical as broken (the drivers for this chipset work fine in Debian. It is evidently due to patchs Canonical has added to the drivers). In a nutshell, I need a Debian-based Gnome distro with good driver/codec support built in that doesn't worry as much about "free-ness" nor legal pitfalls in certain countries about codecs.This is seen at bug report:
http://intel 3945ABG Sad, too, is that Canonical seems to not be interested in fixing this bug. In fact, with each new distro update, the bug seems to get worse. With this track recored, I don't have high hopes for Lucid. I really need to update the laptop it is on. I am looking for a good Gnome-based debian distro, but prefer one where I won't have to do a whole bunch of downloading "non-free" things like drivers and such (not even sure how to do this since medibuntu is for Ubuntu base distros and I'm not sure if it will work with a "non-patched" Debian repo.
Seems like most debian branches are in fact also Ubuntu branches. I had high hopes for Mepis, but it is KDE-based, and I don't want to go that way. After making the switch to Gnome almost a decade ago, I'm not wanting go mess with KDE anymore.
I have to avoid the Ubuntu distros as they have the same problem (for example, Linux Mint is what I have on this laptop as the wireless sort of worked if just browsing the web but download large files breaks it. It is essentially non-function in Jaunty and Karmic.) I will keep using Ubuntu Netbook Remix on the 4 netbooks we own. And Mint on the desktop and My personal laptop. I would just like advise on a good Debian to use for this other certain laptop.
Ubuntu Servers :: Recommendations For Remote Control Web Interface?
Jun 16, 2010I want to set up a home computer as server. I've installed Ubuntu Server Edition 10.04, and can access it through SSH. However, I would like to have a browser based interface for managing things, such as installing a phpBB forum and stuff like that. Also, I want my friends to be able to share files on my home server as well. I know I can do it by using FTP, but I would rather not have them to install a FTP program.

Mar 28, 2011I presently have an Ubuntu server 64-bit running VMware Server 2.0 in a test lab. The server was created using the default partitioning method during the installation. So I have what I think is just one huge 300GB partition along with what I hear is a uselessly large swap partition.
I keep reading that theres an advantage to creating dedicated partitions, especially for the the VM datastore.
If the advantages are true then I would like to re-partition the drive.
What partitions should I define and how big should the be?
Ubuntu :: Recommendations For Supported Wireless Print Server?
Jun 28, 2011I have found it difficult to research a wireless print server which will be supported on Linux. I use Debian 6 and Ubuntu 10.04 (also Windows 7 64 bit, Vista, and MACOS Snow Leopard). Everyone in my household using uses a different OS, so it is all the more difficult to ensure interoperability across so many OSs. Where can I find a definitive, authoritative and complete list of supported print servers? Also, I want to keep things simple as possible. This is an important criterion for my choice of wireless print server.
GUI mediated setup/install is much preferred over complex configuration files and command line. I know of CUPs, but I don't know if CUPs will regulate the wireless print server and what's involved. The print server is to enable sharing of Brother HL-4050CDN printer. I'm seriously considering F5L049au (see Belkin : Home Base). But the customer support people tell me it does not support Linux. But this is true of the majority of the print server market. Must support N network standard, the printer above, be wireless, and be Linux compatible.
General :: Boot Disk Recommendations For Grub And Ubuntu?
May 18, 2010I'm still kinda new to linux. I've been learning my way around the command line and been experimenting with linux on a couple computers of mine. Occasionally after trying a few things, grub or linux won't load right. I've done some research on possible tools to help but I was wondering if any of the more experienced users had some recommendations for boot disk or tools to help repair grub and/or linux desktop/server editions.
p.s. I would also be interested in any fun and interesting tools, programs, and/or repository's that other users have found beneficial.
