A note on the bt8x8-based TV-tuner cards: these usually have beside the tuner input, also a Composite and an S-Video input. You can hook up 2 analog cameras to these, and access from ZoneMinder both of them as individual cameras, at max 15Fps. You don't need 2 separate cards for 2 cameras!

Zoneminder will work with almost any capture card that is supported by the linux kernel.

Capture Cards

Pico2000 - 4 port card, one chip bt878, around 2 fps when using all channels

Bt878_4chip_8inputs - I don't know the name for it, 4 chips bt878, 8 inputs, around 5 fps when using 2 inputs per chip

Hauppauge

Ituner Spectra 8 [1]

Linux Media Labs LMLBT44 [2]

Avermedia

TView 95/99

WinFast TV2000 XP

Osprey 100

Grand X Guard [3]

Kodicom 4400r

Leadtek WinFast VC 100 - the cheapest bt878 model with no tuner on it, just Com/Svideo in.

Most other BTTV (bt878, bt848) cards, see /usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/bttv/CARDLIST on your system for a list of some of them.

A note on the bt8x8-based TV-tuner cards: these usually have beside the tuner input, also a Composite and an S-Video input. You can hook up 2 analog cameras to these, and access from ZoneMinder both of them as individual cameras, at max 15Fps. You don't need two separate TV cards for two cameras!

Analog Cameras

Any regular composite or svideo camera connected via a supported capture card.

Network Cameras

For Network Cams to work they need to be able to stream MJPEG without the requirment of activex controls. If you see the requirement for the camera calls for IE then there is a good chance it may not work. The other option is to grab JPEG images if the camera supports that option which will work but at a lower frame rate.

  • Axis (just about all recent models, including support for PTZ functions)
  • Panasonic BLC-10, KX-HCM10 etc (including PTZ support)
  • D-Link DCS-1000(W) and DCS-900 - plus other D-Link IP models (This have been hit and miss, not all work with ZM. A partial list of unsupported cameras are inside).
  • Sony SNC-M1 and SNC-M3 wired and wireless - possibly other Sony IP models?
  • Grandtec WLAN Camera WiFi or III - acceptable indoor quality, no infrared-filter (better nightvision) cheap!
  • Airlink 101 AIC250W - Just remember to turn off PCRE processing in the Options > Network tab. http://x.x.x.x/video.cgi gives 10 fps 640 x 480 mjpeg feed. Same camera as D-Link DCS-900W / TrendNet IP-200
  • OvisLink AirLive WL-5400CAM
  • Gadspot GS9603 IP Camera with Pan/Tilt, As well as the GS1600(H).
  • Trendnet TV-IP300 - Just remember to turn 1.0 in ZM_HTTP_VERSION in the Options > Network tab. In the x.x.x.x/cgi-bin/video.jpg gives 352 x 240 jpg.
  • Any network camera that allows access to single JPEG image grabs or multi-part JPEG feeds.

USB Cameras

Just Zoom USB cam

Creative Webcam Pro, Webcam 3

Logitech QuickCam Express, QuickCam Pro 3000

Philips PCVC 730K, PCVC 740K

Any OV511 based USB camera [4]

Any Philips based USB camera [5]

Any CPIA based USB camera [6]

Note that most USB cameras that can use Video4Linux, and so can be used by ZoneMinder, have older chipsets and can be hard to find new. Note that PWC drivers are not included in the kernel. Some distribution's add them in and other may not. Here are some relevant links. Old Maintainer Current PWC Maintainer
