Re: Date Format differs

I wish I could get UK date formats here! Untitled-1.png 1.36.10 on CentOS. e2a: Turns out I can :) The clue was STRF_FMT_DATETIME_SHORTER above and the solution was to edit /usr/share/zoneminder/www/includes/lang.php and change the definition from '%m/%d %H:%M:%S' to '%d/%m %H:%M:%S' I guess this mi...

Re: noob: recording on raspberry

I don't know how things are set up there but you'll probably want to set the Video Writer to Camera Passthrough to avoid decoding/encoding the video stream and use a separate low-resolution stream for any detection or analysis, triggering a higher-resolution stream to record any events. Also check t...

Re: Is zoneminder able to read files from an FTP server and display them?

I'm very late to this but I think the answer is "sort of"... FFmpeg can read its input from FTP sources and you can enter ftp://... in ZM's Source Path box without any complaints, but it'll try to read and output the remote file as fast as it can if it doesn't have the -re parameter before...

"Active Topics"

Is it possible to get some of the other forums included in the Active Topics search? I generally use that as my entry point but miss posts in Hardware Queries, the HCL, and Hints and Tips, and maybe Feature Requests, User Contribs, and Non-ZM Chat (but I'm not sure about the last three). e2a: And, a...

Re: Zone alarms vs monitor alarms via websocket JSON output

Excellent news about the Zones :) Have you tried putting the control:filter command outside of the loop? I reckon you probably only need to send it once. And curious about the ws.recv() thing... Have you tried putting another print() in the loop, just to output "I'm alive" messages or some...

Re: Replaying Events for Testing Zones / Using a video file as a Source

Edit: Thinking on this again i thought maybe source type:file could be used for this. Well that doesn't work but ffmpeg source was able to watch a video file albeit the fps must be specified, otherwise it plays back at some hilarious 1000fps. Yeah, @haus tried that in the other thread but I think Z...

Re: Replaying Events for Testing Zones / Using a video file as a Source

I've updated the code in the first post and the Wiki article to work with event IDs, which is a lot easier than faffing around with file paths. You can still use file paths if you want to though.

Re: Zone alarms vs monitor alarms via websocket JSON output

Do I need a hook? Do I want a hook? I don't know - Do you? :unsure: I suspect you probably don't though, or at least at the moment anyway but maybe the time will come when you'll write something that pulls the information you want from the database and sends it as part of the notification? There ar...

Re: Zone alarms vs monitor alarms via websocket JSON output

Maybe the is ES firing off some sort of detection script or servicing a hook before it sends out the notification?

Re: Zone alarms vs monitor alarms via websocket JSON output

@kitkat Interrupted by what I wonder? You pressing Ctrl+C ;) I'm kind of shooting in the dark here (not used ws or zme) but it looks in the first case like you're sending a command that doesn't elicit a response ("There is no response for this request.." is from the docs) and then calling...

Re: Zone alarms vs monitor alarms via websocket JSON output

Are you waiting for a reply that will never come?

Replaying Events for Testing Zones / Using a video file as a Source

There was a question a while ago asking whether it was possible to test zones against stored events, which interested me, and I I've cobbled together a fairly reliable method of doing it with PHP and FFMpeg. Create a file named replay-test.php in your server's web root (not the ZM root) and paste th...
