Re: Instant notification on alarm
However, every time it calls zmMemVerify when zmc is not running (e.g. ZoneMinder is stopped), I get an error message in the log. Should I be using a different method or calling this method differently so as not to return a log entry? Personally, I have my script set up to check whether ZoneMinder ...

Re: Machine learning video detection
After having run ZoneMinder for several months, I agree that this would be a really killer feature even if the current motion detection settings are retained. Imagine that when you view an event, there are buttons to "Mark real alarm" and "Mark false alarm," which if you click, Z...

Re: SOLVED
Educational process for sure. I had not realized that in order to automate filters one had to set/check "Run filter in background." Thought that their existence as filters would mean they were all considered for every event. Seems obvious now, but... The documentation mentions this but on...

Re: Insanely long alarm times
What is your post event image count (under Monitor -> Buffers)? You can also look at the frames for one of your long events and see how many non-alarm frames occur between alarm frames. Events that should really be multiple events will get combined into one if the post event image count does not get...

Re: Stream gets behind watching live video
Have you tried reducing the framerate further? For security video you shouldn't really need more than 3 FPS or so. Also, is the camera wired or wireless? If wireless, you can try moving the router so as to improve the signal.

Re: help setting up preclusive zones
The trick is to make them small, sensitive, and place them in areas where a real alarm would not occur, like high on the wall where lighting changes occur or a ceiling that gets illuminated by the IR light. Use the Extend Alarm Count setting to disable alarms for a couple seconds after the preclusiv...

Re: Help with setting up zones (lighting issues)
Thanks for the ideas. I will definitely keep them in mind if I end up deciding to use a separate garage door sensor.

Re: Help with setting up zones (lighting issues)
Thanks for the suggestions. The thought did cross my mind to use some other system to monitor when the garage door is open or closed and have that talk to ZoneMinder somehow. Given the extra money, time, and work involved, I would rather just deal with the false alerts instead. I think what I will t...

Help with setting up zones (lighting issues)
One of my cameras is set up to monitor inside the garage. The garage doors have windows facing south, so there are lighting changes that occur throughout the day that can set off alarms. Also, when a garage door is opened, a light comes on and then turns off a few minutes later. I have set up zones ...

Re: Upgrade instructions
For backing up and migrating the database, see this post: Actually, that is often a lot of faff since phpmyadmin won't accept large incoming files to restore. You can copy the dumpfile locally and import from there, but even then often times out. If you just want the setup and not the events, then p...

Re: Hikvision DS-2CD3325 not working on ZoneMinder 1.30.2
Have you tried to see if you can view the stream with VLC or something else other than ZoneMinder? Regarding the remote method, as I understand it, the RTP/RTSP option went away somewhere in the 1.30 releases. My Amcrest cameras have a web interface that lets you change a whole bunch of settings, in...

Poor man's remote start/stop from phone
Here is the situation. In order for my wife to actually start ZoneMinder when she leaves home, she needs a minimal amount of navigating and waiting. And honestly, waiting on web pages to load, logging in, clicking a few links, etc. is a bit tedious for me too. So I did some brainstorming, and this i...

Re: Wrong load and disk usage
I have been monitoring the load average more closely. I found that even if I had next to nothing running on the system, the lowest the load average would go was 1. It turns out it is because there is a process called "rtsx_usb_ms_2" that is constantly waiting on disk I/O. dan@zmserver:~# p...

Re: [SOLVED] /dev/shm keeps filling up when ZoneMinder is stopped and started
Hm, no, I haven't seen errors like that. I am running 1.30.4, though. It would be worth submitting a bug report if the same script worked fine on 1.30.x. If you haven't done so already, also check whether zm-alarm.pl has been changed in 1.31.x.
