currently i have foscam ip camera that is working fine, but i would love to have ZM manage it. from what i understand i need to get a capture device installed and running for ZM to work it's magic. dvb_usb_af9015 /dev/dvb/adapter0 Hi! The key is in your statement "FOSCAM IP Camera", this ...

Did you enable high verbosity for debug or there are a lot of warning or error? Oooo I forgot about debug! Zoneminder does a lot of logging through syslogd (into /var/log/syslog or /var/log/zm/zm/log) and also puts it all in the SQL database. If you have a high level of debug/errors occurring, you ...

Hi, i am new to zoneminder and linux also :-) I am just wondering if it is "normal state" for zoneminder to still writes to my HDD even if there is no motion detected. My settings are two IP cameras and modect. Pre-cache buffrer is set to 1 frame (cannot set to 0). Also was trying to enla...

Still trying to figure this out...all I came up with so far is apparently the file I'm looking for is zm_ffmpeg_camera.cpp whish i can still not find. Ive tried locate and find but to no avail. FFmpegCamera::PrimeCamera() isn't a filename, it's a C++ class (FFmpegCamera) and a function name (PrimeC...

There may be a way to kill off the "false" events with a filter (purge with extreme prejudice anything on the unwanted camera older than X mins/hours).

My question is would it make sense to to use both streams? The sub-stream for analysis and record the actual event based on the main stream? Not tried this, but, I believe "linked cameras" is what you're looking for. Something along the lines of :- Create "monitor" 1a, point it ...

That output confuses *me*. So it sure as heck isn't going to please ZoneMinder. As an ordinary user though, it shows nothing using it, so I suspect that nothing within Linux *is* using it. Not having tried using VMs e.g. VirtualBox, I'm not sure where you go from there -- the problem doesn't appear ...

As root, what does this command get you (mine shown below IS in use, by tvtime ...) lsof /dev/video0 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME tvtime 2761 mjb mem CHR 81,0 4049 /dev/video0 tvtime 2761 mjb 4u CHR 81,0 0t0 4049 /dev/video0 If it returns nothing, then Linux doesn't think anyth...

Setting Zoneminder aside for a minute, can you see the output from the camera in something like VLC or tvtime etc. that can access a Video For Linux device? Or something like ffmpeg to grab from it by hand if you don't have them installed. (Something like ...) ffmpeg -aspect 4:3 -s 640x480 -vc 1 -tv...

Is there anything that might be upsetting your network in general, making it busy, dropped packets, a WIFI link anywhere that may be getting jammed out?

Really? Did you possibly mean just :-

there is no mechanical object, no IR Cut filter. At night mode i have BW picture. If your colours look good during the day, you have an IR cut filter fitted, I can assure you things look odd without one. Trees glow brighter/greyer. Black clothing often looks grey. Some reds are not the right rednes...

Sorry, but did not exactly understand you. What do you mean with moving IR cutter? I have only this one camera. The CAM is a AVTECH AVN257 (Network CAM). On ZM i have 5fps setup (and also 5fps by the CAM setup), which should be ok. "after the camera is switching from night to day mode" Mo...

Hi, Security is another step, he was asking how to get to the server from internet... This is another step, install fail2ban and ufw to ban ip addresses trying to get into your system. I could help you there. Regards, Paco I know, and I didn't disagree with what you posted. Other than a static IP a...
