That's not normal. How have you managed to do that, as an "event" is an entry/some entries in a database, plus a load of images on the filesystem?

ACTi ACM4200 I do not know the path to the video stream. Using the exact same settings as the old computer, I get "Unrecognised content type 'text/html'", "No content boudary found in header 'text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'", and "Unable to get response" in the logs. Th...

Well then when the documentation says Enter the full path to the device file that your camera is attached to, e.g. /dev/video0. How do I know which, if any device file my camera is attached to? I never entered any code to attach it to any particular device file and I don't see any instructions anyw...

The camera, D-link DCS943L ... ip address ... I'm also confused about the device path. I have some kind of thing, which is neither a file or a directory at /dev/video0 but when I try to read it with zmu -d video0 -q -v it says: failed to query crop capabilities video0 : success Can't answer your pr...

That error message looks horrid, you certainly shouldn't see that, no matter what you tried as config! At a guess, looking at the SQL error, have you literally put "65%" in the box in your config? Try just "65" (no %), you might be confusing MySQL. Look at the comparison bit of t...

Keep plugging away at it. Give in to the power of the penguin.

Thanks for the link.I made it all the way to accessing the //serverip/zm. Opendns says it can't find the address and suggests a buch of other sites that don't apply. So where to from here? I hope you didn't literally use "serverip", but you used your server's IP address. Open DNS shouldn'...

I am having trouble zooming in the watch monitor window.

That also existed in 1.25 (which I'm still running)

I think you're right, the decision on what you are trying to zoom on isn't being made based on the image as you see it NOW.

Your logfile (last post) says "Failed to stat /dev/video:" ... can you check that you have used /dev/video0 everywhere you should in the config?

It looks like you might have an errant /dev/video that does not exist, whereas /dev/video0 does.

It can be done, there isn't a place to put a base-path-name anywhere else (feature hint!) and so this was for ZM 1.25, adapt as needed! Under Configure Options/Images/FFMPEG_OUTPUT_OPTIONS I set (was just "-r 25" here) -r 25 -q:v 1 -f avi -vtag XVID -g 30 -bf 2 -vf "hqdn3d,lutyuv=y=ga...

That's not the problem. I just mounted the camera yesterday, and what I was seeing was something moving, it appeared to be very close to the camera, so close that it was hard to determine exactly what it could have been. Now that it's daylight and the IR led's have shut off the image is quite clear...

Is there a setting or a zone adjustment I can make to reduce these alarms? How long does the blinky continue for, all day between 11 and 3, or does it just happen at the start and end of that period? If it's all of that time, I'd look at repositioning the camera, or replacing it with one that isn't...

Don't be mean to the sparrows.

Then you'll be up before the beak.

Raspberry PI may well display 4 cameras in a web browser, not sure if it would run ZM and motion detect them as well though! As to a big-screen display of cameras, it's more resource friendly to write your own montage page than make ZM do it. Simple HTML and maybe a touch of Javascript. Depends how ...
