ZoneMinder Forums

I have enabled this,
switched zoneminder off and then on again.
Now is it enabled ?
I don't know ….

I noticed in the GUI Video prefs there is an option to grab video from TV cards and video devices… Is this useable ? Can I grab video from te 8 Port Bttv card and by by pass ZM so we can stream video straight to the monitor ? That would be useful on the ZM server so we could attach a monitor to vi...

hello I have an SVN version from about 4 weeks ago, I want to create a filter which works after say 12.30 at night until say 8.00 in the morning. The filter will check certain camera's where there should never be any movement and email a picture from an event instantly within the time frame of the f...

Say I am running zoneminder on a dedicated machine already with no GUI. Is there some simple straightforward way to show on the display the camera image? Coming from a linux perspective I don't think so, you will have to install Gnome or what ever… That said I would like support for a local displ...

Interlacing is caused because a frame can be made up of two captured frames one making up the odd lines and one the even. They are captured at different times so any movement shows up. The new version 1.24.3 allows you to disable this behaviour in most cases. Oh How ? I suppose I expected smooth mo...

Any takers for this ? I'm sure it's quite simple….

Hi I am getting lines when there is movement but not when there is no movement..
I have searched the forums and looked and added two monitors set to "None:" as we have an 8 port bbtv card and six camera's.
It's not critical but would be nice to remove these lines …
Thanks.

Thanks for that. I mention the export of multiple "Events" because I had an indident where someone stole something and had to export 10 videoas and then patch them together by hand. The videos were of the same event, however the server had split them up… possibly a second or so between c...

HI, I have downloaded the latest ZM Via SVN and am having issues exporting events. I have an event that is 10 "Events" long on one camera. I select them all and can view as one if I select all the "events" in the camera "Week Log" then select View … Then select >Gaple...

What is the rest of your system / setup Time lag might be because the capture card you are using is of the single chip pico2000 type, But as it stands your system is more than powerful enough to do zoneminder perfect, are you running any other application on the system as well.. more information ne...

WE have a 6 camera system running on 2GB RAM and a pentium Dual core Chip running at 2.5 Ghz

would there be any improvement if we put a core 2 duo 2.4 Ghz chip in ?

Hi,
can anyone direct me to somewhere where I can understand these settings ?
the numbers are a bit opaque ..
Thanks.

Just a guess, but I noticed ZM did this when I did not have the camera's configured with the same frame rate setting. Compare your settings.... Oh I recompiled Zoneminder with the latest svn, and now it's OK, However still can't get colour pictures… I am using PALnc + Grey nothing else seems to w...
