ZoneMinder Forums

ZoneMinder is great at what it does but not for directly viewing the cameras which is why I'd like to find a stand alone app that would do that.

I just got done with yet another 30 minutes of messing around with this and no matter what, cannot get it to work.

It seems impossible that others aren't seeing the same issue. This happens no matter which PC or browser I use.

Well, I wanted to try zmNinja on my Manjaro desktop but; zmninja.png As for the montage, In this case, I had a 3 row layout but when I click on it, it's always broken. I have to use Edit and even if I save it, it's broken the next time I use the layout. 3-wide.png By the way, there are six cameras ...

What I'm really looking for is an app so that I don't have to use browsers to view the cameras.

Hi, Can't really show anything since it's all personal locations in the house. When you go to Montage, you have pre-set options, 2, 3, 4 across etc. Depending on the width of the camera image, this works or doesn't work. Not only might only two images show up in the 3 columns but some of the images ...

Yes, I know I can move the cameras in the console but when you use montage, you set them up in columns and rows. That's what never sticks, the columns and rows that I've saved. Upgrading might be an option but only if this is something the devs knew about and is fixed otherwise, it's a headache ...

Yes, I can create montage layouts and every time I fire up a browser to go use that, the camera's are all messed up, all over the place, not where I saved them.

I mostly use montage to view the cameras but using a browser, this always brings the PC down after a while. I also find that every time I pick a saved montage setting, it's broken and I have to move the cameras around every time I start the browser/montage. This happens on Windows 7,8, 10 and Linux ...

I give up, sent it back for something supported.

The onvif probe can control the PTZ but the seller says "Sorry, our onvif does not have a PTZ agreement".
They won't give me any information what so ever.

The controls don't work yet but that's because I can't find enough information to know what to set yet.

ONVIF device manager finds it and can control it using PTZ. Now if I can transfer that to ZM and get a complete setup, I could share that with the community too.

Yes, nothing mentioned in the amazon comments works however. And I cannot find any information what so ever. I've reached out to the seller so we'll see if they have anything to say but since it's 'app' driven, they likely will not share any other info. I was able to get video to zm using onvif ...

Another garbage app based Amazon camera that no one can find information for.

Any chance someone is using this or knows how to configure it for ZM.
