Try this? http://www.charliemouse.com/code/cambozola/ Not sure it will work, just a suggestion: cd /tmp wget http://www.charliemouse.com/code/cambozola/cambozola-latest.tar.gz tar xvfz cambozola-latest.tar.gz cp cambozola-0.92/dist/* /var/www/html/zm/ Before copying, you might need to delete /var/ww...

Thank you for your replies.

I switched to 640x480 and left it at that for now. CPU load is close to 100% for all 4 threads during an alarm event (I look at System Monitor).

Haven't installed libjpeg-turbo, will do some research on that.

Hi there. ZM 1.24.2 / Ubuntu 10.04-64 bit on a 1.8GHz Atom D525 CPU and with 4GB RAM.

Following this guide, I've changed the video filename. How can I insert the video file name in event notification email? I can attach event video file itself to email by using %EV%, but I don't need it. I just need to show the full path to the video file (including the filename). Any suggestions wil...

Thanks so much for your help, kingofkya!

Next time I'll search the Wiki better...

I'm trying to figure out how to do a similar thing, if I understood the original question correctly. I'm building a simple web interface for my ZM installation that needs to have a live view page that would only show streams from all cameras... That is, I need to know the direct links to my monitor'...

OK, understand now, thank you for explaining.

Did you check this link??? http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15501 2. Are there video capture cards that would incorporate deinterlacing? Or is it physically impossible? Hardware compression cards typically have a method to do deinterlacing on the fly (Atleast our cards do). However,...

There are a lot of options, but most, if not all of them involves money, lots and lots of money!!! Did you check this link??? http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15501 1. Are those options cost-effective? If you have existing CCTV cameras probably they are, but what if you are planning...

320x240 res is the ONLY solution? Yes and No... yes if no added software/hardware... No, there's a videoloop thread somewhere arround here, I guess in User contribution forum... check it out... and try and read about NTSC/PAL system. Thanks! I see now. So, basically, 352x240 for NTSC or a progressi...

-r 25 -qscale 7

Thanks! That worked. I'm trying to increase res to 768x480, BT878 and camera should support it but I get horizontal comb-effect video...

I cant think of anything off hand that might be the problem. You an send me a link to your ZM server and I can take a look for you. Thanks so much kingofkya again for your time to fix my problem. You're a king of ZM for sure! :-) I got the camera live feed working after reboot. So, it was my mistak...
