Zoneminder not capturing11/8/2022 ![]() ![]() Then I plugged in the capture card, and ‘virtually’ connected it to the VM with the vSphere client. ‘Hauppauge’ is a bit of a mouthful-I seem to remember reading somewhere that it’s pronounced ‘hop-hog’-so hereinafter it shall be known as the ‘capture card’.Ĭonfiguration of the ZoneMinder VM showing the USB controller and attached deviceI built my VM on the ESXi box’s internal disks (it could never run anywhere else because the card wouldn’t be there), making sure that I’d added a virtual USB controller. Eventually and after much Googling, I settled on the Hauppauge WinTV USB-Live2: it has a trailing cable with composite, audio and S-video inputs (although I’d only need the composite). Unfortunately, the V4L project’s list of compatible hardware is very short and looks a bit stale. #ZONEMINDER NOT CAPTURING INSTALL#I wanted a USB stick so that I didn’t have to shut down the server to install or fiddle with it. It was a bit of a struggle to pin down exactly what video capture hardware is supported by Ubuntu. If you don’t already have power on your camera, that video also mentioned that you can use the other three pairs joined together to feed power along the same cable run. I don’t know if it’s important to get the polarity right at both ends, but I used the striped wire to connect to the ‘positive’ or ‘tip’ terminal, and the solid-coloured wire for the other terminal. I’ve seen a few different ways of wiring them up, but I followed this video which involves using one of the four pairs in the CAT5e cable.
