Adding cameras
Posted: Sat Jul 13, 2019 6:00 pm
I try to add 046d:09a6 Logitech Quickcam Vision Pro (UVC and works with linux) and Raspberry Pi Camera Module cameras to latest ZoneMinder in latest Raspbian and Logitech worked little time until i changed some settings.
When i plug Logitech in, i can see in /dev/ directory 3 new items, video1, video0 and media0 and i have tried all these in Source>Device Path. Default was /dev/video0.
Console says Running. Ball in start of row is some times green, some times red.
If i open camera, it don’t show camera, between camera name and State there is only white and State row under it is “State: - fps”.
Under pause… buttons appears new events 10-20 sec long and frames are 1/1 or 2/2 or 0/0, but if i click open event, video is black with x in center and text "the video could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported zoneminder".
I right clicked where video should been and copied image url and opened in new Firefox tab: "the connection was reset".
Storage folder is empty except there are dated folders with snapshot.jpg but no videos.
Is the reason for all this that i have not done this:
Dedicated Drive, Partition, or Network Share
https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/la ... drive.html
So do i really need to do this or can i just set Storage Path to pi/Desktop/ZM? If i use default /var/cache/zoneminder path it still saves just snapshot.jpg, no videos.
If in need to do that. Is there any easier instructions for that, which includes easy instructions for "Step 2: Mount your dedicated drive, partition, or network share to the local filesystem in any folder of your choosing"?
Monitor Settings:
When i try to setup Pi Camera Module, if i choose "ONVIF" then it finds "IP-camera @ 192.168.1.2 using version 1.2" but then Detected Profiles is empty so i cannot continue.
Pi Cam has same Source, /dev/video0 but i don't know where to find correct path for Pi Cam.
I did this thing below and booted when trying to get pi camera module to work but still can't figure out why it don't work:
"If using the Pi camera, you will need to enable it in raspi-config as well as loading the v4l2 kernel module by adding the following to your /etc/modules
bcm2835-v4l2"
I had OPT_USE_AUTH enabled and i did not get any video and now it is disabled.
