| '''Steps:'''
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Installed Debian Jessie via a netinstall from [http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian Elinux.org BeagleBoardDebian]. Used serial port. Migrated to Devuan. Installed Zoneminder using jessie-backports according to [http://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installationguide/index.html official install guide].

| Industrial BBB was chosen, in the hopes of using it as a dashcam under winter conditions.
| |
|
| |
| Camera works plugged into USB. No external power needed.

| Logitech camera works under the following settings

| '''Zoneminder settings:'''
| |
| * Source: Local
| |
| * Maximum FPS: 3
| |
| * Device Path: /dev/video0
| |
| * Capture Method: Video for Linux 2
| |
| * Device Format: PAL
| |
| * Capture Palette: *MJPEG
| |
| * Capture Width (pixels): 960
| |
| * Capture Height (pixels): 720
| |

| 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. I put the wrong resolution in during MJPEG mode, but the ZM logs happily told me that the 'correct' resolution available was 960x720, so I used that, and all worked.

|
| |
| 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.

| '''Notes:'''
| |
| * 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). A shorter cable resolved all issues.
