Hey gang,
deal is running Mint-Mate 12.04, like it a lot. I never did wireless
anything but mouse. now I want to hook up security cams & I bought 4
cams & receiver China generic cams are Hamy 4 N 2.4ghz receiver is
usb ch1:2414mhz, ch2:2432, ch3:2450, ch4:2468.
I installed cheese but it not find the device here is lsusb with &
without it plugged in so...Bus 002 Device 006: ID 1b71:3002 reveals
no info on the thing so how do I set it up so I can see the cam(s)
what progs do I need installed to use this stuf I want to mount the
cams in one location viewing 4 angles this also sees IR & each cam
has 6leds for night vision each has wall wart or a 9v battery I have
power where I wish to mount them so will use the wall warts.
I am trying to wrap head roun how this works. I suppose I will need
to install a driver that grabs the signal in one of those 4
frequences & feeds it to a streaming recorder. Would that be cheese?
I opened the additional drivers console but it found no drivers but
the sys is not seeing the device as a cam receiver I went to Mint
found drivers for Mint but I dunno what driver to DL nor how to
attach it to this device. I email the vendor ask if Linux driver is
available, waiting to hear.
I would say that I am lost & confused! Herb needs sorting out here
is lsusb info & receiver specs

There is no mainstream Linux support for this device. There is apparently
some source created that might get it to work with a single channel, but it
will probably required you compiling a kernel module which can be difficult.

Syntek USB 2.0 Video Camera
===========================
Note : The syntek USB 2.0 video camera driver for DC-1125 ans STK-1135 is
currently being developed
on Linux. This driver can do damages. Use this driver only if you know
what you are doing.

Wooo that sound scary, I DLed the driver, what am I risking. I will do full
backup first but I have done a lot of tweaking to get this OS like it suits me
so I guess try this on diff rig first. I have a almost clean install not all
tweaked yet so I do it over there.
Thanks Lee
