Raspberry PI cam setup (local, on board with the zoneminder install)

[mlw19mlw91]

Hey guys, I have zone minder on a raspberry pi 4b with the rpi cam and I can not figure out how to access it. I've tried a few things but nothing works. Please help! What's the path? What's the caputre mentod? Is it local, as far as the source type goes?

I promise I'll put this in the WIKI after

General RPI info is covered in wiki.zoneminder.com/Single_Board_Computers

For the camera, there are numerous guides online that cover setup. Did you search?

I recommend you test in ffmpeg or vlc first (probably ffmpeg, since you shouldn't have X on the RPI). e.g.

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i /dev/video0  output.mp4

If it's /dev/video0 it would be local. You will need to know the resolution (ffmpeg will tell you this).
