In zmu, when the command line option (-v) is used, a verbose flag is set. When the GetCurrentSettings routine is called from an object in zm_local_camera.cpp, a structure is passed that should include the verbose setting. However, all of the diagnostics that should print from zm_local_camera never a...

OK, I have done some reading and looked briefly at the source code. Here is what I have learned. The VEGA USB 2.0 Camera is using the uvcvideo driver. This driver does not support version 1 of the V4L interface. Therefore the command: zmu -d /dev/video0 -q -V1 -v makes little sense. Scratch that. Lo...

I did this long ago and added to the zoneminder startup script.

Thanks anyway.

I am in the same boat. This USB cam is a good inexpensive option for use with zoneminder. It works OK in xawtv, but fails when quieried with zmu. This does not seem right. On the note of xawtv, my cam would work once, then fail until a machine power cycle. A review of another message board, suggeste...

Re: Fatboy Question. Very nice and thorough review. You do not state that you selected a mirror when doing the netinst install. The bug is triggered when you select a mirror. I confirmed lenny by checking the kernel uname -a and checking the sources.list file. That told me enough and I re-installed ...

I was getting WAR errors just recently, and I do not recall exactly what the problem was. But looking at your error log (thx for the info, it helps people who want to help!), I recall that I was having problems with the capture card and the video devs (/dev/video0) at the time. I was using an LML bo...

As I mentioned previously, when I went to install Debian Etch from an Etch Net install boot disk, I got Lenny instead. What? Yes, If you choose to install from a mirror site, the boot disk resets your target distribution to "current", which worked fine as long as Etch was current, but now ...

OK, I can add some helpful information here. It seems that at Debconf 7, somebody mentioned that ffmpeg contains some code that is copyrighted or patented to a person who is responsible for making sure this code stays out of the released debian package. Understandably, they took prompt measures and ...

Just a few days ago, I did a net inst of Debian 4.0 (etch) and a very simple apt-get install zoneminder, and I had a complete zoneminder up and running in about an hour. Then Debian 5.0 (lenny) was released, and now it appears that nothing will work. I tried to apt-get zoneminder on Lenny, and got m...

Just a heads up. For users in the USA. I believe that recording audio in locations that are not public may be a violation of wiretapping laws in the USA. I have read in some places where recording video (or images) is tollerated, but when you include audio (or record audio alone) it may be forbidden...

I am running an older version of ZM, but I wanted to post this into the current release, as I believe it may be usefull still. I have seven cameras, and the problem with PurgeWhenFull is that it does not pick the image directory that is fullest. When they fill up to 32K files, the images stop record...
