Hi James, thanks for your resply 8) Zoneminder needs to intercept the video stream to analyse it -- that means, that it need to decode the stream, analyse it and to encode it again. Furthermore it needs a webserver... A little to much load for my CPU and a little too much effort... FFmpeg crashes and breaks (similiar reports on the web...) when trying to watch video streams from the c920... Currently the best results I get with gstreamer...but then I cannot control the uvc parameters.... Sigh...things are crossing the border between "interesting" to "complex"... Best regards, mcc
