Re: Getting a image snapshot

All of that is held in shared memory, not on disk.

Honestly a better/simpler solution would be to do a simple wget to single image (many cameras have this) in a cron job.

Re: virtual host for ZoneMinder.

Hmmm. My guess is that every once in a while the camera is barfing (either returning a bad frame or not returning anything), but recovering quickly enough that it's not causing other serious issues. Since you've gone this far, in the wiki the 932L has a method for streaming mjpeg. (Right now you're ...

Re: Viewing Events Shows Time to Next Event

Switch replay mode from "all events" to "gapless events".

Next up: change your zone settings so you don't get single frame events.

Re: virtual host for ZoneMinder.

Hold down shift, then hit reload. See if it's still red.

If it's still red, try restarting zoneminder.

If it's still red, turn on debugging; something isn't right -- that shouldn't be possible with a green log.

Re: virtual host for ZoneMinder.

Tried it, I got the image. Whoopie! Finally you're getting somewhere! :mrgreen: I went back and added the user pass to the remote host name and now the video works. (I don't need the password when I access it with vlc so I thought there was no password on the camera itself) However on the main page...

Or should I just post them on github and make a pull request?

This is my second attempt to make contact.
I'd send a pm to knnniggett via the forum. He's the main guy driving the bus these days.

Open a web browser, and type this in substituting the appropriate values:

Code: Select all

Re: virtual host for ZoneMinder.

Do you think if i used an older version of zoneminder I might have a better chance of getting it to work wihout having to build it? Normally I would say no to this question. For example if you must have VLC support for your camera, that was only added in 1.27. ...but let's stop right there and rewi...

Example PTZ control script with start/stop type events

So I'm getting reasonable at hacking zm ptz control scripts to do what I want so far. But I'm working on a new type of camera (HooToo HT-IP006N) that doesn't send singular button events but rather start/stop events and don't have anything to model it off of. What I mean is, let's say I hit the Pan U...

Ahhh, now I see why you had to compile it; looks like the fedora package is all the way back at 1.25.

Sorry I can't help you more; I don't compile zm thanks to the excellent PPA for ubuntu by iconnor.

Re: High Load, IOWait, and SSD offloading?

It looks like I have a lot of IOWAIT when I am doing system stats. I'm wondering if there is a good way to have Zoneminder cache to the SSD drive and then offload to the RAID? The only thing I'm aware of that will use an SSD as a write cache for HD arrays is if you use a ZFS file system. If you don...
