Thanks for the exhaustive tutorial!

Two notes:

1. You only need to install the contrib package of OpenCV. It includes base OpenCV.
2. If you use 127.0.0.1 for your picture url it will not show on phones.

Thanks for your support.

fixed - thank you again.

2. If you use 127.0.0.1 for your picture url it will not show on phones.

? Everything works fine - also on phones. Is it better to take http://localhost or the server IP ?

A couple of corrections to your Zoneminder install procedure...

Your procedure adds the ppa but does not install Zoneminder.

sudo apt-get update is not needed in Bionic as add-apt-repository does this.

apt install zoneminder is needed!

sudo systemctl enable zoneminder.service should be: sudo systemctl enable zoneminder

sudo systemctl start zoneminder.service not needed as the installer starts Zoneminder

sudo a2enmod cgi is not needed as the Zoneminder installer does this.

Set your correct timezone in /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini is not needed as the timezone is now set in Zoneminder Options

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/zoneminder/ DO NOT DO THIS! Security risk and is not needed!!!

Correct! Fixed.

sudo systemctl enable zoneminder.service should be: sudo systemctl enable zoneminder

Code: Select all

systemctl show zoneminder | grep Path

gives

Code: Select all

FragmentPath=/lib/systemd/system/zoneminder.service

back. So both variants are possible.

sudo systemctl start zoneminder.service not needed as the installer starts Zoneminder

Correct! Fixed.

sudo a2enmod cgi is not needed as the Zoneminder installer does this.

Correct! Fixed.

Set your correct timezone in /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini is not needed as the timezone is now set in Zoneminder Options

Correct! Fixed.

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/zoneminder/ DO NOT DO THIS! Security risk and is not needed!!!

Correct! Fixed.

Thank you for taking your time and help me to make the tutorial better.
Are suggestions are very welcome!

Thanks for the useful tutorial. Being able to restrict ANPR to just the road area was helpful.
