Right now it's nothing more than cheap Arduino and temp problem from eBay combined with some dirty code. Reading serial data on Windows seems pretty straightforward, but I haven't tried it with Linux yet. There are several inexpensive (and expensive!) pH probes, ORP probes, float switches, etc etc ...

Wow!!! Thank you for the detailed write up! I think that should fit the bill. I will test it out when I can.

Thanks again!

I stream a tank here: http://farmillriver.rockedge.org/?page_id=504 We also would like to set up a sensor pack to stream real time water data.It is not anywhere near a salt water reef tank in complexity. It is all part of Trout in the Classroom Project run by Trout Unlimited Nutmeg Chapter. Small ...

Wouldn't using a ffmpeg source work? I think ffmpeg can add a text overlay to a video source, and if I'm not wrong ZM can use ffmpeg to capture images (with with the ability to set options per monitor). I've never used ffmpeg source in ZM so I'm not sure if this is a possible way. The video sources ...

I am envisioning something like an aquarium that has a camera pointed at it streamed using zoneminder. The water temp needs to be cold and constant, cooled by a chiller. A Arduino temp sensor sends its signal via serial port or receives a signal? But the end effect is the water temp is in real time ...

Thanks for the reply! I thought about that and figured modifying the code would shut me out from ZM updates. I was hoping there was some means of interfacing it.

Thanks

Hi- I'd like to take senor data coming in from serial on an Arduino and overlay that text data on the ZoneMinder video. Is that possible? Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
