Pete - the Foscams are currently not in a "monitor" status but still included in the ZM interface. The reason is mainly the high CPU utilization on the Shuttle - also they aren't mounted outside yet. Too much todo and the database will error. That being said, the Foscams had run for at least a week straight and exhibited no hint of problems. This was using mainly the one command that ends in "Rate=" I think you had posted in this thread. I think that is a streaming mode.
I need a different box for Zoneminder - thinking of maybe an i5 but am not sure. I don't want to risk underpowering and I don't want to high a processor for something dedicated to the cams. Experimented with my i7 Macbook Pro a bit. Installed an Ubuntu partition (32bit gui) and it did well with all four cams recording at once, Max framerate. Of course I may eventually have 4 more so really that means not-a-lot I guess. I am guessing that you guys with non-ip cams can run alot due to the hardware card taking a bit of load away from the main processor?
Thanks for the document - will check it out.
Also - this thread is now displaying SUPER WIDE MODE that wont fit the screen - is it just me, or did it happen since you quoted your log? I am sure I didn't help by quoting that same post - going to go undo that.
