Since you are talking about networks, I'll assume you plan on using IP cams. Yes of course you can. I have cams connected in a city 50 miles away, not many since the upload speed of the site with the cam is used. You can also "Cross connect" any Zoneminder camera IP or composite video to a...

A note on adding the ?tcp at the end of the source path. i am testing two installs of ubuntu with ZM 1.28.0. One of them is a few weeks old the other done around feb 12th, 2015. Putting the ?tcp at the end of the source path works with the older 1.28.0 vers, but not with the newer vers done in feb 2...

I've tried ubuntu, server and desktop, using ZM from the repos and iconner ppa. everything works great and I do love the changes from all the hard work but the one show stopper is when using mpeg streaming with event playback. It runs about 10 Xs too fast. I set it for asf since I have never gotten ...

This has happened to me also. Don't remember which vers it was on as I
was trying out different versions in a VM. It mentions path, but needs the path AND file name.

We all have our favorites. I've been using Dahua cameras for about 9 months. They're cheap, have a good picture and quite a few settings. The dahua ipc-hfw4300s is amazing for the money @ 135.00 usd on amazon. There's a site that reviews IP cams you should check it out. Google > networkcameracritc. ...

I just noticed this POST..

Stream mpeg/h264/avi; whatever you'd like from ZM

It's pretty much the same as Mine.. although H264 would be even better.
The bandwith I'm getting is Low, not sure if it's H26.
It looked so good that I didn't bother to check..
read his post.

This may info is probably known by most users of Zoneminder, but could be a big help to others. It's been posted a cpl of times about how to stream one or more monitors from one ZM install to another. The posts I've seen show how to do it using mjpeg, which does use tons of bandwith especially now t...

I had that same problem with 7 Dahua 2100 cams on ffmpeg. ZM vers 1.25.0 It came and went on all if them and only happened for a couple of seconds. The cams were set at 1280x720 @ 25fps. Since storage was my biggest concern at the time I dropped the frame rate to 10 on some and 15 on others. Then we...

Typo 12.04 LTS
"Zoneminder but being able to use 12.03 LTS is great."

OK Got it this time. there were two differences between what you did and the instructions one sudo apt-get install linux-headers-server linux-image-server linux-server and two, BTW it would not even start with this on the end I took it off and it went > zmpuppet.txt 2>&1 But, as you can see it h...

Nice, . On the first install it all worked ok just no H264 in ffmpeg. That was using a really nice server with E-2130 V2 16gb ram. I had to deliver it. so my second try was my old AM3 dual core, I was typing the commands, could have messed it up. Going to put another HD in it and do it again through...

OK, did fresh server install 12.04 LTS 64bit. then puppet module per instructions on the github page. went OK until just after Scheduling refresh of Exec[make-install-ffmpeg] error/Stage[main]/Zoneminder::Install::FFmpeg/Exec[make-install-ffmpeg]: Failed to call refresh:make install returned 2 inste...

knnniggett, sorry it took so long to Get back to this. been crazy busy. I did check for h264 mpeg4 part 10. no h264 was shown. only the libav stuff. could not check again today since I messed with ffmpeg the day I installed it. doing a fresh server and puppet install now. I did look at the puppet co...

the puppet install is using 12.04 server LTS 64bit

I used the puppet module and it's working but doesn't look like it has H.264 support. Will that be added to the puppet module in the future? As far as the rest of the build I haven't tested much of it yet, but have mjpeg IP cams, H264 cams and a BTTV capture card so I can check it out. BTW the puppe...
