Materials:


Beaglebone Black Industrial

Logitech C545 webcam


Steps:


Installed Debian Jessie via a netinstall from Elinux.org BeagleBoardDebian. Used serial port. Migrated to Devuan. Installed Zoneminder using jessie-backports according to official install guide.


Industrial BBB was chosen, in the hopes of using it as a dashcam under winter conditions.


Camera works plugged into USB. Logitech camera works under the following settings


  • Local
  • MJPG
  • 960 x 720
  • PAL

Total load with camera, gets about 960x720 3FPS, with .7 load on the server, in monitor mode. Making this a potential external ZM server.

YUYV works with resolution of 320x240, but no higher. MJPG is able to get 320x240, 640x480, and 960x720.


This being an SBC, there is a additional interfaces, expansions (I2C, GPIO) to use in addition to the camera itself. Sensors can be added easily.


Note: I ran into problems using this BBB with a long (>25 ft) ethernet cable. Network functions were slow, or failing. This could be a problem, if you were to use these as substitutes for cameras. It may have been my particular model (BBB Element14 industrial).
