Eeepc hotel room monitoring works with these settings still:
https://digitalsatori2015.blogspot.com/2016/07/zoneminder-on-1001x-eepc.html
5fps is a bit much for the eepc so set it to 2. model name : Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N455 @ 1.66GHz
Doesn't work with selinux enabled. Disabled auditd for speed.
Works with same GUI settings from before in earlier blog post.
HOWEVER sometimes image is very dim now. Setting to capture more than 1 frame at a time seems to help but problem keeps coming back. Goes away for awhile after changing frame settings.
