ZoneMinder Forums

It's not LAMP *and* the others, LAMP *is* the others :) It stands for Linux Apache MySQL Perl It looks like you've got a bit of reading ahead of you, but it will all be worthwhile. You may well already have Apache and Perl installed, if you have linux. You may need to configure and switch Apache on ...

In which case you've got me stumped! If there is only one file system, with everything in it (All of your OS, files, and zoneminder's events) and it's only 8% full, then you have one (1) HUGE file system :) Simple, but not optimal setup. Or you have more than one file system, with an (unspecified) %...

OK that looks good, but maybe you are not on the same page as ZoneMinder regarding "used" and "free" If you are trying to tell ZoneMinder to only use up to 8% of the disk -- then that would seem sensible for testing. But ... big but ... only if Zoneminder events are the ONLY THIN...

Is there any way to get around this? Yes. Set the filter up correctly next time! :) Sometimes it's better to submit the filter and see what it does before allowing it to execute . That way you find out what it's about to do before it does nothing/too much. Do you still have the filter settings you ...

If you can't access the cameras directly (their OWN web pages) then it sounds like they've crashed. This could be bad firmware, causing a memory leak, brought on by you using them continuously. 1) Update firmware in cameras to latest, if the manufacturer has fixed the problem ... 2) If there's an au...

I fear you may be looking in the wrong place -- I'd be happy for someone to shoot this down though :) If you are using the "filters" tab, that is for filtering Events -- that's where I see "Notes" and "Cause" fields. You're not looking for events, but for log entries --...

If you really want to test it with a VIDEO file (for testing motion detection on a pre-recorded, predictable file), as it appears you might be doing, try this :- I got an "mjpeg" stream from my camera into a file, and although it wasn't viewable in XINE/VLC, I used ffmpeg -r 5 -i input.mjp...

Is there an echo in here?

I don't think you can. I skipped that bit, in case it was too much for your case :) Mostly I don't create videos from events. When I do ... the nearest I found was to do this (this may not work for you, depending on if you use the Archive facility...) 1) Make a new filter to make a video from any fi...

Hi All, Is there a way to add somehow a path where ffmpeg should place locally the video was made manually? Because it stores the videos now in that folder where the source pictures are. Unfortunatelly the server is far away from me, and the bandwith is very low. I'm trying to get the videos in one...

Remote Host Name: "camera's ip address as assigned by dhcp and it's mac address"

Really?

Can you quote the exact "host name" line, I'm not sure that you need the mac address as well as the IP address.

@dazed: This is the UK, so no such thing as the DA -- the equivalent is the Crown Prosecution Service I suppose. Sadly, they would be unlikely to bring a prosecution as the police have to decide to forward things to them for consideration. In this case, they have already decided that without a state...

@dazed: I think you're right. They categorically denied that they were effectively filing it under "can't be bothered", although the admitted it was "not handled well" -- including the police's failure to take a statement at the time, failing to contact me about the CCTV, them mi...

the camera has a picture but it's features pic. in black and white.. Device Format NTSC I think you are saying that your colour camera, with a composite video output is producing a black and white picture at the computer? Is it an NTSC (American) camera? Maybe you need to switch to Format: PAL-Some...

I've given CCTV from Zoneminder to the police (ongoing criminal damage by little ASBOs) -- not very successfully though. This is not Zoneminder's fault :) Firstly -- after many attempts to download the .avi files, and a long delay, they finally admitted that they "couldn't see them". Passe...
