Re: Infrared reflective tape

Paid attention this time and got proper reflective tape. A strip along the long axis of the handle shows up nicely when the IR LEDs wars lit up. Gonna cut a thinner strip so it'll be even more obvious.

Re: Infrared reflective tape

I mistakingly got some lens tape in the auto parts section at Walmart. That didn't do a thing, it's made to cover a broken tail light. Good thing it didn't cost much, I wasn't paying attention and thought it was reflective tape.

Gonna look again next time I'm out in the retail world.

Infrared reflective tape

Anybody got a good suggestion for some reflective tape that will show up nice and bright when a camera is in night mode with the infrared LEDs shining? I got a camera in my workshop that has a view of the deadbolt. If the lights are on I can barely make out whether the deadbolt is locked or not. If ...

Do you have a link to that script, I can't find it anywhere on my setup?

Thanks
Script is in this thread if you want to test it out, it doesn't seem to be part of ZM natively.

Re: Tuning for 4K monitors

I started by drawing a zone around something about man sized. The zone will show how many pixels it contains. I was thinking something similar to that but hadn't thought to use the zone definition to get a good pixel value. I'll be tweaking things this afternoon and report back. Is it possible to s...

Tuning for 4K monitors

I've been replacing some older HD cameras with 4K. Started out with some smearing issues on one but I think I cleaned that up by knocking down the frame rate at the camera and lowering the bitrate. No more false positive alerts from the smearing lately. But now I can't get it to alarm at all. Used t...

Re: zmcontrol.pl syntax

Clicking "Home" does nothing right now. Ran tcpdump and I see packets going to/from the camera when I click on the preset buttons but I get nothing when clicking home. This is a ReoLink Trackmix POE camera. I selected the RLC-423 control setting and it seems to be working. But I can for su...

Re: zmcontrol.pl syntax

Okay, problem was with the zmcontrol socket file, it had disappeared for some reason. Restarted zoneminder and got control again. But I now see one other glitch. How do tell zmcontrol to move the camera to it's home position? I'm not sure what slot # that's saved to in the camera.

Re: Minor web interface annoyance

Just found this github issue with a fix that seems to work pretty well.

Re: Minor web interface annoyance

How do you set the default view? Deselecting some of the columns that I don't care about does fix the original problem. But when I go back into that view all the columns are in view again. How do I save the layout that I want as a default? Looked through options and didn't see any setting for this.

Re: Smearing issues

Tried that but still getting the occasional frame that throws off the analysis.

Would a higher alarm frame count mean a single smeared frame wouldn't cause an alert?

Re: Minor web interface annoyance

And there's my Duh moment for the weekend. Should have figured that one out on my own.
