Hi,
I'm running zoneminder in a (turnkey) privileged container. This goes fine for my 2 IP-cams.
But I'm not able to use my USBcam in the container / zoneminder.
I followed instructions I found here , but to no avail.
There are some things I am not sure about though.
The instructions declare a udev-rule with " SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", KERNEL=="hiddev*" " in it.
Not sure where he gets that values from, and what they should be for my webcam?
On the host (pve) I see
(I chmodded video0 to 777 by hand to open things up)
Looks fine to me?
In the container config file I added
When rebooting the container, in dmesg I see:
So, it seems the container has knowledge of the existence of the USBcam.
Also, there is a device-file:
Yet, zoneminder is not able to use it:
(Settings within Zoneminder are identical to the same webcam succesfully connected to an earlier ZMinstall on bare metal)
Zoneminder is running with user www-data, that is memeber of group video:
Can anyone help with this?
If more info is needed please let me know.
