User Time Restrictions

Does ZM currently have a feature or the capability to restrict users access based on time?

For example: User A is permitted to access ZM foo between the hours of 0800 and 1300. Where foo can be anything from everything to a subset of everything.

Re: New Amcrest firmware breaks PTZ

Might want to suggest that the company you work for do a bit of research on Dahua before burning any bridges. Here is a good place to start: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2016/10/europe-to-push-new-security-rules-amid-iot-mess/ Thanks for the link! Dahua is the OEM for Amcrest. I have confirmed this....

Re: New Amcrest firmware breaks PTZ

I cleaned the code up for the Amcrest module provided in this thread and submitted it for inclusion in the code base. It was merged today and should appear in a future release of ZoneMinder. However, due to the disaster of Amcrest support, the company I work for has returned all of the Amcrest equip...

Re: New Amcrest firmware breaks PTZ

So there are a few issues with the Amcrest control module addressed in this thread. I'll write something up to post here detailing them, but folks may also want to reference this post as well: ZM Perl Control API, etc.

Re: ZM Perl Control API, etc.

So part of what I was looking for is here. This explains how zm.Control.CanMove and related fields play. More specifically (and maybe this is documented somewhere other than the code): If the camera CanMove, then examine the three types of movement available, Abs[olute], Rel[ative], Con[tinuous], in...

Re: ZM Perl Control API, etc.

I have read and reread that doc and it does not have the information I'm looking for.

I'm not looking to interface with ZM via its outward-facing API. I'm looking at its internals.

Thanks!

Re: New Amcrest firmware breaks PTZ

It would seem that the detailed specs for the camera should be listed in a table in the doc rather than having to "reverse engineer" them. But perhaps I've missed something. This seems to produce most of the desired specs: http://<camera_url>/cgi-bin/ptz.cgi?action=getCurrentProtocolCaps&...

ZM Perl Control API, etc.

I have dug around and googled ad nauseum and cannot seem to find this information. Forgive me if I have overlooked the obvious. 1. Is there developer documentation which outlines the API between ZoneMinder::Control and the various subclasses for particular cameras? 2. Is there documentation outlinin...

Re: New Amcrest firmware breaks PTZ

Thanks Chris! I was able to get all of the functions supported by your script working with my camera. The other settings I had in zm.Controls were based on Amcrest's latest HTTP API documentation which is unclear at best. It would seem that the detailed specs for the camera should be listed in a tab...

Re: New Amcrest firmware breaks PTZ

@tcg Any chance you could post the results of the query below (with the id value adjusted to match your record) from your IPM2? (Note: I have changed only the name of the control module. Otherwise, the code is an exact duplicate of that which you posted above.) I have a few things right and my 853EW...
