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

AKA; HCL, Hardware Compatibility List

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

bt878 8 chip 8 input - options bttv card=77,77,77,77,77,77,77,77

Hauppauge

Ituner Spectra 8 [1]

Linux Media Labs LMLBT44 [2]

Hawkeye

Avermedia

TView 95/99

WinFast TV2000 XP

Osprey 100

Grandtec 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 S-video camera connected via a supported capture card. Some analog cameras feature camera control - ZM supports several of these camera's Pan/Tilt/Zoom functions via serial port control, as well as camera Presets, Focus, Iris, etc.

Network Cameras

For Network Cams to work they need to be able to stream MJPEG without the requirement 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)
  • 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).
  • 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
  • Conceptronic C54NETCAM - Just turn off PCRE processing in the Options > Network tab. http://x.x.x.x/video.cgi gives 10-20 fps 640 x 480 mjpeg feed. Seems to be the same camera as TrendNet IP-100 Additional: Disable login at the C54NETCAM -> Configuration -> User by using empty username and empty password
  • Gadspot GS9603 IP Camera with Pan/Tilt, As well as the GS1600(H).
  • Grandtec WLAN Camera WiFi or III - acceptable indoor quality, no infrared-filter (better nightvision) cheap!
  • OvisLink AirLive WL-5400CAM
  • Sony SNC-M1 and SNC-M3 wired and wireless - including PTZ support. Possibly other Sony SNC-, RZ-, and IP- series?
  • Trendnet TV-IP200 / TV-IP200W, TV-IP300 and the TV-IP400 / TV-IP400W with PTZ control support.
  • Any network camera that allows access to single JPEG image grabs or some but not all multi-part JPEG feeds.

Network Digitizers

Like Network Cameras, these devices produce a video stream - but they accept an analog video input from a camera or other video source.

  • The Aviosys IP9100, Models A, B and Plus has four analog video inputs. It produces a ZM compatible video stream from one of the inputs, which is selectable via an HTTP GET command. There might even be a control script for ZM that lets you select the active video input using ZM's Camera Control Presets!

USB Cameras

  • Just Zoom USB cam
  • Creative Webcam Pro, Webcam 3
  • Logitech Quickcam Orbit/Sphere (experimental basic pan/tilt control has also published for testing and hacking [4])
  • Any OV511 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.

X10 Devices

The only device that really needs to be compatable with ZM is the Transceiver, all other x10 devices comunicate through that device.

  • CM11 Bi-Directional Transceiver


Other X10 notes:

Topic 6423

Topic 7082

All other hardware as supported by Linux

To find out if your hardware is supported, check the HCL at linuxquestions.org

Debian

Fedora Fedora Unofficial HCL

Mandriva

RedHat

Suse

Ubuntu
