Rather then guessing it would much better for you to download one of the live CD's over at Linuxtracker.org under the Zoneminder category and install it all preconfigured and ready to add monitors. Using one of these will give you a painless installation and configuration. You have your choice of Ma...

I only assign mount points during installation after that. I agree, too much potential for "bad things". I should've stated that.

Bring up the ZM console, single click the filters button and design a filter that does exactly what you want it to do. don't forget to save it and check the run filter in the background box.

Bring up an instance of your web browser and use /localhost/zm for your address. ZM doesn't have it's own front end so your browser is the key.

Are your monitors linked? If so you could be in a never ending alarm loop described in the documentation. Unlink the monitors and see if that helps.

I assign a whole partition using the /var mount point as the storage location. The location of /var is the key.

Very good "get it running instructions"; Thank you. Only one edit I'm going to suggest, change the RPM commands to lower case, took me a minute to remember. Now comes the test for longevity...

Sounds like an IP address conflict. I'm picturing your system with a wired nic used to connect to the 211a and an usb wireless connection to the router(?).

Bring up the stream in your browser or in VLC, right click and select properties, this will give the stream resolution and other details. I'm going to guess from your settings that it's going to be 640X480 and your monitor settings in ZM are for a 320X240. If this is the case, lower the resolution o...

Which live CD?

Can't tell you what's wrong but I can tell you how it started and how to fix it (from my experience). The monitor you are having problems with was inadvertently assigned the same video device path/channel as the one that's showing up as interference. To fix: change the video device path on the sourc...

My experience with three live CD's has been nothing but outstanding! Bluecherry's Ubuntu live cd, RDMelin's ZMliveCD 1.23.3, and my personal favorite, RDMelin's ZMLinuxOS 2008.7 (1.23.3). Bluecherry's CD is currently passing one year of continuous up time without any issues at all using a PV-(143?) ...

Yes to what What boy said and if you need to delete individual or multiple events just bring up the monitor and use the tick boxes for individual deletions or use the tick box at the top to select all events, then single click the delete button at the bottom of the page. This will allow Mysql to be ...

What you want Modect to do is exactly what it will do on a working system. I believe section length is ignored when monitor is set to Modect also. Use your buffers tab settings to determine how many pre/post motion frames you want to record. Using Modect I will Have many thousand of individual event...

With R.D. Melin's permission, both ZMLarch 1.24.2-1 and ZMLinux 2008.7 are now available via torrent at Linuxtracker.org along with ZMLiveCD 1.23.3, ZMLiveCD 1.22.3, and ZMLiveCD 1.21.3. Any help in keeping these masterpieces available via torrent would most certainly be appreciated.
