But you are using a kworld composite to USB adaptor. Ok, maybe not. But, I've got to ask - why the combo (coax camera & coax->usb/adaptor)? You can buy 10BaseT internet cameras for prob ~$50 and wireless versions for prob ~$80 on sale. I was doing this w/zoneMinder for a while. Been thinking of putting it back on line recently. W/Ethernet, you can place cameras a good distance from the computer. W/USB you are limited w/o USB extension hardware. USB cameras are also tricky. The support is there for common chip sets. But I don't know about the kworld usb device. When I plug a USB camera into my Debian / mythtv system, it shows up as a /dev/video. Unfortunately this messes w/the TV tuner cards and breaks the mythtv / back end feature. I don't remember any of these problems while using wireless or cabled Ethernet cameras. At the time I was more concerned I wasn't getting the results from zoneMinder I had expected (false triggering or triggering due to wind blowing trees around). Alternatively (I was looking into this as well) I was thinking of creating a cluster of low cost USB cameras in remote locations and using something like a NSLU2 (correct name? a.k.a. SLUG) to manage and bridge the camera cluster onto my 10BaseT network. I had thought seriously about this as I think a 3 USB camera cluster + used SLUG would not exceed the cost of 1 wireless 802.11b camera. Let us know how it goes... -- video4linux-list mailing list Unsubscribe mailto:video4linux-list-request@redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list
