ZoneMinder Forums

Just an update to this thread. Zoneminder is still dropping cameras - as described above. The only (rather imperfect) solution I have found is to install python-onvif, see: https://github.com/quatanium/python-onvif The act of Initializing an ONVIFCamera instance seems to nudge my lost cameras back i...

But it works for some of the time and then loses the stream

Any thoughts?

Appreciated. Here's some - only showing ERR: 2019-04-11 18:29:34 zmc_m8 28895 ERR Unable to open input rtsp://192.168.1.187:554/ch01.264 due to: Operation now in progress zm_ffmpeg_camera.cpp 357 2019-04-11 18:29:34 zmc_m8 28895 ERR Failed to prime capture of initial monitor zmc.cpp 253 2019-04-11 1...

All the ones that drop out have 'Robox' written on them. But also, some Robox cameras never drop out

Thanks Garry Interesting idea - i'll look into it, although as I pointed out: "I can't get them back by restarting ZM (or indeed by restarting the Sunfire x2250)" I have read quite a lot of forum posts related to this issue and one suggestion that comes up is tuning mysql. Now bizarrely, I...

Hi I installed zm1.32 on a Sunfire x2250 with a 8Tb new HDD, running Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS. I have 16 IP cameras connected and am able to view their RTSP streams using FFMPEG and TCP. However, ZM consistently drops certain cameras and I can't get them back by restarting ZM (or indeed by restarting the ...

Back on this topic - hopefully for the last time. I had my whole Ubuntu server and zoneminder system setup on 2 separate HDDs, one =350Gb and one = 2Tb. All of the blue screen problems described above were with the 2Tb HDD set up. A few weeks ago the 2Tb HDD started kicking up HDD errors so I shutdo...

So tried: sudo su -s/bin/bash -c"python /home/mark/python-onvif/IPCam_Restart_Scripts/RB_Robox3.py " www-data and got: [Errno 13] Permission denied so yes, it seems www-data doesn't have permission to run my python scripts. But i'm still confused as I did chmod 777 on the target file. Does...

Wow! So many users! So many groups!
More groups than users - who would have thought it?
The fog is beginning to clear - thanks

I've learnt on a need to know basis. So i've been using unix for 30 years, have published several pieces of python software, and now mainly write in C++ (all in an academic setting), but have never been formally taught any, so I guess my knowledge is good in places, but poor in others, and poorly st...

I tried going down the API route, but fell at the first hurdle with curl (it works finr from a browser but that's not much use for me). I tried: curl -d "username='********'&password='**********'&action=login&view=console" -c cookies.txt https://localhost/zm/index.php I get the...

Apologies for the delay - been away.

I don't get this. Who is the www-data user? Is that a user? How do I find out what users there are on my system (I thought there was just me and root).
I'm happy to try the line, but I don't understand what it is supposed to do.

All best

Have tried using API, but with zero success. When I run: curl -d "username=****&password=****&action=login&view=console" -c cookies.txt http://192.168.1.134/zm/index.php I get the response: curl: (6) Could not resolve host: username=****&password=****&action=login&v...

Hi So I tried installing Node.js and npm, as it has an onvif implementation. After much more pain, I concluded that it was not possible to get this to work - I couldn't even get basic Node.js and npm working. Then I came across quatanium/python-onvif. I have a bit of a python background so had a go,...
