Server specs.

Thanks for sharing info on the camera linuxsense...Is it POE? hard to tell from specs and picture looks like power supply included... Thanks That particular cam seems to be not available right now but I have purchased a few that are perhaps better for about $35 shipped (the vendors price changes pr...

Hi, now I have changed the cams to VGA 10fps via RTSP and it works fine since 2 days. The Quality is ok and zoneminder works also fine with it. I also changed the "Stream Replay Image Buffer" to 200, lets see. Thanks a lot to all. Kind regards. Heimo Glad its working better. Just out of c...

Hi All, can anybody help me and tell me where I can find this file? "zm_monitor.h" I got a lot of "buffer Overflow" and it does not help to increase "shmmax". Any other idea? I am using ubuntu Server 12.04.4 Does anybody know a paper for optimizing zoneminder? Thanks i...

zm_monitor.h is part of the source package if you build the software by yourself. In the FAQ Chpt. 2: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/FAQ#Managing_system_load_.28with_IP_Cameras_in_mind.29 you can find lots of hints for managing system.load I personally reduced the max. FPS to 2 per cam, a...

Thanks for putting this together, linuxsense. I don't have a need for this myself, but I'm willing to seed to make the download quicker for others. If I ever get the time, I'll edit the ovf file to make it compatible with vmware. You can then ship your image with two ovf files and let the end user ...

I moved from VBox to real HW. It works for me. I plan to go my production now.

Nice. Its working well?

I have a virtual machine image of Ubuntu 14.04 with the latest ZoneMinder built from source that includes a good version of ffmpeg, x264, libvlc, libjpeg-turbo, etc. Its a pretty minimal Ubuntu installation but its ready to run, just add your cameras. The source is included in /usr/local/src. If th...

This catches many people out since it was not required in previous Ubuntu releases.

If you are unable to give it a shot in virtualbox let me know and I'll get a VMware version together for you to try out.

A little more follow up... I extracted the diskfile by tarring, And since I found a vmdk, I mounted in VMware instead of VBox(using a SCSI controller). I then discovered that various parts of the hard drive (Assume hd0 is one of the partitions on the disk) are read-only. I've never run into this on...

Odd, never ran into that but when I build ZM its always on a very minimal system to avoid conflicts. Glad you got it sorted.

FWIW, I have these vlc packages on my 14.04 systems: libvlc-dev hold libvlc5 hold libvlccore7 hold vlc hold vlc-data hold vlc-nox hold vlc-plugin-notify hold vlc-plugin-pulse hold and libx264-142:amd64 install x264 install from this PPA https://launchpad.net/~videolan/+archive/ubuntu/master-daily

I have only seen this error on systems where VLC is not properly built to support RTSP and h264. At a glance the error is pretty clear...it cant decode the h264 RTSP stream but the initial authentication failure seems odd.
