I too would be interesting in a feature such as a triggered events by an IP camera with 24/7 recording. I know this post is a little dated, has this recently been added as a feature?

What about the weekdays? He stated he was looking for Monday - Friday. How would this part be added to the filter? I've tried: Date equal to Weekday It seems to be breaking my filter though. On a side note. To delete the oldest frames or videos on the FTP server, run a cron job on the FTP server sep...

Any luck in finding time yet? Not pushing... just reminding.

Glad you're up and running!

Cheers!

I'm going to try this full config on another ZM machine I'm building. I'm still waiting for a capture card to arrive from the UK though. I'll post my findings to duplicate what I ended up using on this new machine. Right now I unfortuneately can't be much help. I posted everything I know about the s...

Glad to hear you're up and running as well!

Okay. I seem to have it all working finally so here is a recap on all the files and configs that I'm using. First off, the system ZoneMinder is installed on is a multi-function system. I only have one webcam to watch the dog and be alerted when people are in the house. I am also running MythTV at fu...

Try this script to test your perl email function. I received this very helpfuil script from the ever helpful mateuszknapik. I can send email messages from the command line with this script he gave me, however, I still have not gotten Zoneminder to send the emails. But at least I know its not perl th...

Unfortunately, I still haven't any luck on getting my inbox filled with notifications. I want to know what logs I can check to find out where it is stopping. I check the zmfilter.log in /tmp directory and it shows that the emails are being created and sent: 12/29/10 11:26:43.804231 zmfilter[2643].IN...

I feel like I'm getting closer. You're going to hate me though. My next issue is finding my ConfigAdmin.pm file. I see from the deb, it looks as though I should find it in "/usr/share/perl/5.10.x/zoneminder/ConfigAdmin.pm" Of course with my luck there is no such zoneminder directory there....

Hello :) just be sure you have Net::SMTP::SSL, IO::Socket::SSL (>=1.06), Net::SSLeay and Authen::SASL packages installed). http://pastie.org/pastes/1411311/download (change file name to zmfilter.pl) BR Mateusz Knapik May I ask what is meant by the "packages" you list above? I know I can &...

I actually have a very small zone configured to trip an alarm. The alarm triggers very rarely. I may have a total of 10 - 20 alarm frames when someone walks around. I only get about 3 alarm frames when someone quickly walks by. The alarm frames seem to be tripping exactly as they should be. The only...

I believe this is the answer to my mail issue. I do not want to install and configure postfix on every Zoneminder install I do. I feel this is a much better solution (if I understand it properly). I want to test it on my currently running Zoneminder system and then implement it on any future new ins...

I think I may hold out for your script. I would much rather have usable (by more people) video uploads than frames anyways.

I thank you both very much for your replies! I've deleted the filter for now because I just checked to find I uploaded over 16.2 Gigs overnight!

Happy holidays!!

I only have an interest of uploading my alarm frames when they are a certain duration. I'm getting constant uploads to my off site server with tar files over 200Mb. There is a duration option I was wondering about, however, I couldn't find much for documentation for this. My ISP and I would really l...
