This seems like an obvious trick, but I just had a situation with zmc hogging my cpu (20% for zmc, another 20% taken by zma if it's running - because of modect mode), and I was able to solve it. I investigated and my IP cam somehow was capturing at 30 fps. I've been running this setup for a while, a...

I've recently set up a situation where I can disable/enable my monitors from a web cgi script using the zmu command, because my filters send me emails and sms messages on any event. Occasionally, I'll forget to enable my monitors when I leave the house. What I would like to do is leave the monitors ...

http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Zmu To enable a monitor, this command sudo zmu -m <monitor_id> -E -U<username> -P<password> ***** Note: monitor ID, not monitor name To disable a monitor, sudo zmu -m <monitor_id> -D -U<username> -P<password> The permissions on the zmu file seem to show execu...

I had the same problem.
I did the first solutions mentioned at the link by jhellevi. i.e Disable V4L_MULTI_BUFFER (found in options >> config)

I still had the problem, until i set a max fps for each cam. I set each to 5 fps, and now they all work at around 3.6 fps.

I finally entered the proper set of terms into google to get info on zmu, which is how to send Zoneminder commands from the command line Documentation is here, in the Wiki http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Zmu In my case, it was located at /usr/bin/zmu, but it was already in my path. To enabl...

Yes, but I don't really want to open a browser. I just want to send a command through ssh. That way I can make a simple frontend which just sends "Set all monitors to Monitor" or "Set all monitors to Modect" command. My ultimate goal is a remote switch(physical switch) which sign...

So, can I send a command from the command line to set a monitor Function to "Monitor", for example? I want to make a script which I can run remotely, through ssh, to tell my all my monitors to go to Monitor mode or Modect mode. What would that command look like? Is it /zm/index.php I call?...

I've thought about this too. Anyone here worked with an Arduino board? It can read digital inputs (and flip digital outputs, which would be kinda cool to have also, for turning on/off lights, sensors,...) I've just started myself for a future, not-well-defined-yet project. Maybe this is a good app f...

I'm trying to get the jZMConsole up and working. I'm trying to access my zoneminder remotely. My zoneminder installation is behind my router and port-forwarded. Will this cause a problem? So my URL entered is http://[ip]:[port]/zm In the terminal window I'm launching from, I get the "markup in ...

This had been bugging me too. Here's what I've found. This is not ideal because my popups seem to be fine in everything but my Ubuntu Firefox. I was wasting so much time dragging my windows bigger that it was worth doing this, it makes it slightly inconvenient when using a different browser. The wid...

I've been adjusting my zone settings, then having to wait to see if they work. I have an idea for a tool or a couple tools that might make zone settings easier. I would be willing to learn and help as much as I can, but do not know now to start this project. My apologies if it or something similar e...

Thank you for your reply. When you say I can filter by zmfilter, do you mean I can put "zmfilter" in the ZM_EXTRA_DEBUG_TARGET field, or do you mean I should filter the output zm_debug.log.XXXXX, like cat zm_debug.log.XXXXX | grep zmfilter ? As far as I can tell the zmfilter.log does not g...

Is there a way to get more debug info for zmfilter.pl? I tried setting the "extra debug" switch in the options, but I didn't see anything more. I have the option there of choosing which packages give more info, but I don't think zmfilter.pl counts as a package.

I have 3 cameras and monitors, named Side_door, Sunroom, and LivRoom. I've created 3 filters like below, all running in background. No matter what monitor raises an alarm, the first filter always matches and does what it should. If I have an alarm in on monitor LivRoom, for example, zmfilter.log sho...

I have the same problem. After several click and camera views, I can't get any more information from the apache server. I deduced it was an apache problem, because of the Apache errors (caught SIGTERM). When I restart apache (sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart, it works again for a bunch of web reques...
