Geovision GV-800(S) under Linux 

One of my friends asked me to get working a Geovision GV-800(S) DVR card with zoneminder.
According to the google results several people succeed with this subject. For e.g.:
http://siripong-computer-tips.blogspot. ... linux.html

I have installed a n Ubuntu 12.04 server, and the necessary packages. This distribution shuiips with a relatively new kernel (3.5.0) which means that the necessary bttv modules were included fine. The device had shown up fine: I had 4 v4l2 devices with 4 channels per each (Composite0-4). I have added these channels as sources to the Zoneminder but I have not been able to get image from them. After several trials I have installed XFCE and XAWTV. I have not been able to get image with that tool too, and at the channel changes I got I/O errors and the software claimed about invalid framebuffer address on startup.

As final trying I have installed a Windows XP to the box, and installed the Geovision software. The device had shown up in the device manager fine, but there were a yellow exclamation points next to the devices with Device cannot started message. I have seen that card working in different computer.

As a last trial we have decided to try to upgrade the BIOS, and that solved the problem.

Mjpeg-streamer input plugin for Icamview based IP cameras 

Today I have managed to create an input plugin for the Mjpg streamer which grabs the JPG frames from my Asus Mimic CX200 IP camera trough it's properitary protocoll.

Q: Ok but what is it good for?
A: Originally this camera was purcashed by my father for survillance purposes. But the quality of the supported softwares, made it unusable to it. The client software could only record to AVI which means the PC have to deconvert the JPG frames, and compress them to the video format. With two cameras it was a challange for his old AMD Duron config. I am going to write a survillance output plugin to the mjpg-streamer which will allows to control the input plugins and the output_file plugin configuration in a comfortable way.


I send my greetings to all developers at the Megatec for their bullshit products.
