Cameras On Zoneminder Box<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now that you have zoneminder up let us add a camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because they are everywhere and easy to acquire, we will add USB Web Camera<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Linux will detect most USB web cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If not plug it in and run lsusb to see if your camera is detected<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
USB Webcam detected<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In this example you see the GL-UPC822, so it is detected, and a listing of \/dev shows the a video0 camera device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
under \/dev\/ there is a video0 device<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You should be aware what specs your camera has, unfortunately an Internet search did not show what this camera could do, so I installed some video 4 linux utilities using the following command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

yum install v4l-utils<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Then used the one of the utilities using the command<\/p>\n\n\n\n
v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext -d \/dev\/video0<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
To tell me what this camera can do<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Now we can add a camera<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
You can probe to confirm camera is there<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Click Save (I don\u2019t know what clicking save does), this should bring you back to the general tab<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Set it to local and for now we are just monitoring, you can click probe to see if it is there<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then go to the source tab<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Set the parameters of your camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Click Save<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And you should be able to view your first camera<\/p>\n\n\n\n
