Re: Amcrest PTZ functionality

I can confirm his script works and works well. I have stored presets and done PTZ on 8 cameras representing 2 models (their indoor and outdoor POE PTZ dome cameras). Preset appear to properly store on camera, they are accessible from other interfaces than Zoneminder.

Re: $50 USD for Amcrest PTZ support

Alabamatoy appears to have done the vast majority of the work making an Amcrest control. Although he did not technically get it all the way to integrated in the Zoneminder distribution, his instructions were complete enough that I consider him to have "won" the bounty and I donated $50 to ...

Re: Amcrest PTZ functionality

Read the script. Mostly works but I think you have one omission. No where in your instructions in the script do you enable "Pan" capability. So I could tilt and Zoom but not pan after following the instructions. I simply checked the Pan checkbox and it appears to work with your code. I do ...

Re: Amcrest PTZ functionality

Thanks for your work on this. I downloaded your .pm file and I copied it to the folder /usr/share/perl5/ZoneMinder/Control. I checked permissions and owner to match the other control files in that directory. I restarted zoneminder. I see no new control options. I think I need to edit Control.pm in t...

Re: $50 USD for Amcrest PTZ support

Model is IP2M-841EB. But if there are simulators online to code against, more is better than less models.

Thanks.

Re: $50 USD for Amcrest PTZ support

I have gotten one other response from Isaac Connor, who I am assuming is the "iconnor" of the Ubuntu PPA. I tried to add an issue or bounty on the bounty source but either I am not allowed or I am too dumb to make it happen. I don't care who does the work but I certainly don't want to sow ...

$50 USD for Amcrest PTZ support

I'll pledge $50 USD via Paypal to the developer, project, or charity of your choice for making the pan / tilt feature of https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Amcrest work in zoneminder. It appears to be straightforward from the comments on that page but let me know if it is too hard for the bounty. Bounty to...

Re: Ubuntu 16.04 upgrade to 1.30 failing trying to access mysql as root.

Turns out I totally mischaracterized the problem. My mistake and my apologies. I don't know how I created the problem but I got a brute force solution that finally work. I was actually running 1.30 with the latest schema. ZM was running fine, zmupdate.pl stated I was at the latest schema. But apt-ge...

Re: Ubuntu 16.04 upgrade to 1.30 failing trying to access mysql as root.

Looked at the link you provided. Disabled all the zoneminder repos in /etc/apt/source.list.d. The first step in the section for 16.04 upgrade to 1.30 failed: # add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:~iconnor/ubuntu/zoneminder'. The user named '~iconnor' has no PPA named 'ubun...

Ubuntu 16.04 upgrade to 1.30 failing trying to access mysql as root.

Having a problem with upgrading Zoneminder to 1.30 on a Ubuntu 16.04 platform. I followed the wiki instructions at https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Server_16.04_64-bit_with_Zoneminder_1.30.0_the_easy_way adapted for the fact I was an upgrade not fresh install. apt seems to want to install the corr...

Think I found a bug in Panasonic PTZ

I spent this weekend rebuilding my zoneminder install after I shot myself in the foot with my personal server. I found what appears to be a bug, not sure where to report. I'll be happy to provide debug information if someone wants to pursue. I am running 0.27 from the wiki page on a 64 bit Ubuntu 12...

Re: unable to install zoneminder on my ubuntu>>>>>>Pls Help

I had a similar error after I had compiled from source then tried to install the package. What worked for me was an apt-get remove followed by manually deleting the file and zoneminder directory at that location in your error message and then re-installing with an apt-get.

Good luck

Re: ZMTrigger not compatible with MythTV plugin?

All I can say is very, very nice. If you are running Ubuntu just install the packages and everything just works as far as the Myth -zone integration. Can review and delete events from the TV, watch live feeds (for some reason I had to press "1" on my keyboard to advance to the next monitor...

Re: ZMTrigger not compatible with MythTV plugin?

Well never mind. After getting some advice on the MythTV list I realized it was operator error all along. The latest version of MythTv works fine with mapped memory and all the Ubuntu (mythbuntu actually) work fine out of the box. Now on to getting Lua scripting on my Vera working.

ZMTrigger not compatible with MythTV plugin?

Good evening, I just installed Zoneminder this weekend (Ubuntu host, 64 bit, version 1.25 using the pre-compiled packages). I already have a pretty "geeked out" house with: * MythTV system recording from both an HD HomeRun and an HD Homerun Prime * 4 IP cameras of various manufacture (one ...
