PS : why, the hell, do chinese manufacturers hate normalized protocols like onvif ? ... ... because if they provide normalized open protocols that work, you'll only end up buying the camera and using it with some other software like ZoneMinder, where they would prefer that you a) pay them an ...

we SHOULD be pushing the analysis into the camera ... But not all cameras are created equal. Hence, we exist. It's great that "AI" cameras exist, assuming they are self contained, and not dependent on some questionable security/availability cloud-crap, subscription-based offsite AI for this ...

if I put secRet on the vlc bash CLI for the password, wireshark shows that secret was sent as the password, changing R to r. That is a ridiculous level of broken. Moreso than apps that get confused by $ and % in passwords .... (and they do exist, even my former ISP had a POP3/Mail l interface which ...

Or as a workaround, pick any other timezone that is also UTC+1 due to DST at the moment. Maybe Spain, or even London/UK -- although I can't guarantee the DST->UTC switch later in the year will happen on the right day! https://utctime.info/abbr/WEST/ Lots to choose from. Countries using the WEST time ...

Hello, I would like to connect a usb camera to a computer outside the basic network. Is it possible!! THANKS Yes it is possible. Zoneminder won't "see" a USB camera connected on _another_ computer, so there will be a couple of steps to research. On the computer that's physically got the USB camera ...

A month ago I received a new internet router from my internet provider. Simply connect this and follow the instructions. Nothing else. Yes. I love the simplicity of things like this. "Don't worry, it will just work!" -- and I'm never surprised to find that _something_ breaks! :) And yes, right data ...

Are you doing the install as root? Do you do "sudo su" and get a prompt for a password? Any install on Linux needs to be done as root which is the administrator. Maybe that is why your commands are4 failing. "TimeoutError: [Errno 110] Connection timed out" Never mind being root (which probably does ...

Sorry, but I give up. The command add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-1.36 fails. It takes about 10 minutes for something to happen, and then timeout error. Then I continued This sounds like a problem with your installation method -- you cannot execute a command, have it error and fail, and ...

Thanks -- it all seems stable again now!

Today, I'm seeing quite a few of these when traversing the site ...
Is there a disturbance in the force?

and "non increasing dts, fixing. our dts 54207982 stream 0 last_dts 54210997. reorder_queue_size=0" Zoneminder is trying to compensate for a broken video stream. Each frame in the video has a timestamp of when it is expected to be shown, relative to the start of the file/stream. Because time is ...

ERR Unexpected response code 401, text is 'Unauthorized' zm_rtsp.cpp 92 Check the user name and password are correct, and just in case -- change the password temporarily to have no "controversial" characters that may cause problems, e.g. $ % * ... try to stick to upper/lower case and numbers.

Good day! Tell me, what needs to be adjusted? Periodically I see such events on remote cameras, on cameras that are connected locally there is no such thing. Remote cameras are connected gre/ipsec pls looks attachment Search the forum for the words "Smearing" "Blurring" "Tearing" ... you'll see ...

If settings are undesirable (or completely unusable) why bother even having them? An alternative question is "If this combination of settings is found to be unusable, why select them all when advised otherwise, and then wonder why stuff still doesn't work?" The settings are there for flexibility ...

Thanks. I updated the https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ffmpeg wiki. Note the example I gave wasn't for _video_ as such, as my cameras give not-very-compliant MJPEG-in-a-HTTP-encoded-stream-of-JPEG which is horrid. I need a filter programme which strips the rubbish and passes just the JPEG stream to ...
