Re: Zoneminder with 50 ip cams?

So with an IP camera zm is motion processing every frame? (30fps in this case)

Re: Zoneminder with 50 ip cams?

Yes, that 16 core Proliant should do fine. However, here are a couple of things worth noting: Mapped memory is the norm now so you do not need to tweak shmall/shmax I remember that now. [*]Zoneminder does not have the ability to change the framerate of IP cameras. The Maximum FPS and Alarm Maximum ...

Re: Zoneminder with 50 ip cams?

Sorry I didn't specify the frame rate. I would like at least 5fps. Anything above that would be great as well. In alarm mode I have run them up to 15fps.

Zoneminder with 50 ip cams?

Given a beefy server... can zm scale to 50 ip cams running at 320x240/greyscale with motion detection? If answer is yes next question is how much beef would that take? An old spreadsheet I used for zm 1.25 indicates the following: Pixel Width: 320 Pixel Height: 240 Total Pixels: 76800 color bits: 8 ...

mastertheknife docs?

Are there any mastertheknife docs available anywhere? Some of the commit notes look great but a summary of the project would be good to read.

zm shows same stream from different channels on pv183

I have a new bluecherry pv183 16 port card. I installed zm from apt-get under ubuntu 12.04. The install went great and I have 8 cams working fine from /dev/video0-7 on channel 0. Now I try to add a 9th cam to /dev/video0 channel 1. Right away the stream on /dev/video0 channel 0 starts flickering and...

zm versus dvr system

My home zm installation got hit by lightning and fried all the cams, my bluecherry card and the ethernet port on the mb. Insurance is paying for it but while I was looking for new cams I saw this... http://www.amazon.com/Defender-SN301-8CH-008-Security-Coaching-Surveillance/dp/B003BYRO1K/ref=sr_1_66...

(The link is below) There is even good sound. Even when local my cams are a bit lagging and I have to keep the frame rate low (around 5)...

Re: Generate video from multiple events?

I did a search here and on google and didn't find an answer. No offense but your solution is a pita for me. I was hoping something in the gui allowed this as I don't have access to a command line. I tried the filter as it has an option to "create video for all matches" but it does not appe...

Yep. I'm running 640x480 color. You probably need to change the memory settings in zm.
