Been testing on Ubuntu 14.04 / 64 bit and updating when available updates were there on two machines. Noticed today the above beta 1.27.99.0 motion events/alarm stuff doesn't work. Also noticed after updating all ancillary events have disappeared. I have a zoned areas for events for every camera con...

Yup here also run it on Ubuntu with no graphical interface. I am pushing it a bit these days migrating over from analog (8 port card) to HD IP (running some 16 cams now). That said it a core duo server and 4Gb of memory. Interesting mention relating to Arch Linux on the Pogoplug. I think I have seen...

I've had no issues running Zoneminder 1.24.2 on Ubuntu 11.04 / 32 Bit until a couple of days ago when I noticed that the zone image was gone in the zone configuration screen. Everything else is there and ZM appears to be working fine. I did do a "downsize" of all of the screens to 16:9 (64...

Mick, I do similiar with Zoneminder and my Homeautomation Touch screens. You just have to put a user name and password. I created one just for the touchscreens. For quick stills (which I utilize) http://www.xxx.yyy.zzz/cgi-bin/nph-zms?mode=single&monitor=4&scale=100&user=username&pas...

Aviosys is still low resolution low end "stuff". It was my first venture into the IP camera / IP camera server testing. You mentioned Axis. You can purchase older or refurbished Axis IP camera servers for a reasonable cost looking a bit. Initially I ran Cat5E, RG6 and power cables to all o...

I purchased generic 8 chip 878 cards from China on Ebay for less than $50 each a few years back. These came with heat sinks on the chips. I've used these cards now for over 8 years with no issues. It was the shipping and card that totaled $50 USD. You want to look for one chip one video connection o...

I currently utilize Homeseer / Homeseer Touch to view my cameras on the Touchscreens. I am "testing" an embedded VLC window in my touchscreens for better views. I am starting to play with newer gen Megapixel cams and testing HDMI streaming via VLC out to the TV's. Works fine. This takes th...

I am testing a "few" of the newer "Grandstream" API based $100 IP cameras and they are doing well with ZM as long as I keep the resolution low. I am running ZM 1.24.2 / Ubuntu 32bit 11.04 on an Intel Core Duo with 4Mb of memory. http://i1146.photobucket.com/albums/o530/PC-1/webmi...

Nightcrawler, Looking to shift the videos over to an NMT or NAS for viewing on the multiple NMTs in the house. Are you doing anything similiar? Are you running a cron job to do the videos every night? The goal of said endeavor is multiple touchscreen viewing of any videos available. Currently playin...

I also just recently purchased an Effio Sony 700TVL camera. I am also using it with a generic Connexant 8 chip BT878 card. Its working well here at 720X480 resolution. I had to play a bit to get the color resolution to work. I was getting some odd "static" until I upped the memory. I've al...

I just purchased one of these for use with ZM. Its replacing my old weathercam (which was up maybe 3-4 years). I installed it today and just had some question regarding the ZM settings. I am currently using ZM 1.24.2 with Ubuntu 11.04. Specs for the 700TVL Camera are: •48 Built-in IR LEDs •High defi...

Is there a way utilizing ZM cgi command lines to do "on the fly" palette changes? I utilize ZM with some touchscreens and while most of my cams are color I still utilize a "grey" palette. Is there a way via command line that I could switch from a color to a grey or vice versa pal...

Thanks Isaac!

Isaac, Thank you for your post relating to the ZM Debian install of ZM 1.24.4. I am testing two step by steps to ZM 1.24.4. First 5 minute install is working but really too slow right now to be of use. Yours appears to be working but missing some configs, libraries and final ZM MySQL setup pieces. I...

I tried it again about 3 times or so. I'm using a fresh build of Ubuntu 11.04 with just SSH as the option picked to install. The script takes 5 minutes to install. Same results each time. The Zoneminder GUI takes probably 30 seconds to come up. I configured it with two IP cams. I can click on either...
