I started using my Android phones set up can CCTV cameras. The performance is much better than the USB camera. I used the USB camera for testing ZM's features. I won't be using any in my project.

Thanks Asker. I need to do some more testing.

Below, it references 192.168.0.103. Not sure why it does that.

Thanks Asker,

"Cause":"End:Motion: lowerleft, upperRight is every helpful in my and other's applications. Still seeing if I can get the alarm ID to increment a bit faster.

Thanks Kitkat, Zones seem to pop up randomly. There is this on the .ini file: # Interval, in seconds, to reload known monitors (default: 300). monitor_reload_interval = 300 That is 5 minutes. Wonder if that effects reporting over the websocket and the event ID. event_check_interval = 5 ,, That would...

{"events":[{"Cause":"End:Motion: lowerleft, upperRight","EventId":"4707","MonitorId":"4","DetectionJson":[],"RulesObject":{},"Name":"1"}],"type":"","status":&q...

The Event ID is not incrementing often. Like it takes minutes.

import json from websocket import create_connection from time import sleep ws = create_connection("ws://127.0.0.1:9000") ws.send(json.dumps({"event":"auth","data":{"user":"admin","password":"admin"}})) result = ws.recv(...

I will write a listener today that will poll the websocket every second to see what happens.

I will look at the .ini file and turnoff the hooks.

The current script seems to only work after 10 minutes. The delay of the alarm is 3 seconds or so.

If I run the Python script for say 5 to 10 minutes, then dangle my fingers in front of the camera to cause an alarm, a couple of seconds later I get that output that makes me salivate.

Do I need a hook? Do I want a hook? I wonder what I can turn off that could simplify and speed things up. All I want is that JSON output that tells me which monitor has an alarm. There are no zone alarms, but a monitor alarm may be enough for what I am doing. Thanks Kitkat!

The websocket output randomly or with great delay sends a message. I cannot ascertain which at the moment.

@Kitkat Zoneminder's web GUI shows an alarm within a reasonable time, and so does the ES, but the websocket output seems to randomly output the alarm.
