I have some left over android devices. I was thinking they would make okay security cameras. Do you guys know of any android application that works best with zoneminder. It would be nice to use the CPU in the phone to do motion detection. If the camera is not seeing motion it should not fill up the ...

It was "working" per say. But due to the ffmpeg destroying frames I was getting over 200 events a day. Also throughout the day it seemed to drop ffmpeg connection and restore itself. I reconfigured the camera to do snapPictures. That reduces the framerate to .8 fps, with the occasional bad...

Thanks, that helped. I should have read the FAQ:

Use root to connect to the mysql database

use zm;
update Config set Value=0 where name like '%OPT_USE_AUTH';

I wanted to make sure zoneminder asked me for a user name and password before it allowed me to see anything. I looked around the UI and I could not find the place to add users. I figured like all other options it does not appear until you turn it on. I turned it on. After I saved the configuration, ...

I do not know what changed, but it started working. Now I can capture and pan tilt zoom with this camera. I did notice one bug in zoneminder. I switched the control address from ip address:192.168.1.38 to domain name:fi9821w.dodtsair.myz.info because I moved the camera from physical ethernet to wifi...

Unfortunately for me this camera requires a browser plugin. That plugin has never worked for me. Apart from zoneminder I cannot see video or do pan + tilt. With zoneminder sometimes ffmpeg will give me video often times it wont. I was able to get pan tilt working. Here are the errors I think that ff...

I put a watch on the control file and then went to the camera interface and tried to control the camera. Below is the result, clearly zoneminder is reading the file. mpower@petros:/usr/share/perl/5.14/ZoneMinder/Control$ sudo inotifywait -m dcs_5020l.pm Setting up watches. Watches established. dcs_5...

Is that sparrow in a staring contest with your ball?

That helped me get control up and working which is nice. libvlc still does not work. I remember ffmpeg working well, but not works sometimes most of the time it doesn't work. If I keep reloading the zm camera's page eventually I get a video stream. The other camera dcs-5020l is fine, but I can't con...

I have one camera that is actually working to some extent. It is a dcs-5020l, it is a pan tilt camera so I wanted to get that working in zoneminder. There are instructions here: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/D-Link#DCS-5010L_and_DCS-5020L I can configure the control as follows: Camera Con...
