Is there any software to turn Android phone to IPCams, that ZM can connects to it through LAN? If so, the old mobile phone at home can be used. Nope. Your best bet is to write an app yourself. Can't help you with that as Android keeps changing functions and architecture to f*ck with people and I do...

Updated Update:
I've used the server's motion detection with 2 zones per monitor and the workload is double of what it was when I used the external device's motion detection.

I'll switch back to using the external detection again as it is beneficial after all.

Topic can be closed.

Update: Having the setup run for a few days, I looked at the uptime logs. It would appear that using Mocord and applying settings to create a new event everytime the external camera sends a trigger increases the cpu load by 30% compared to using the server's motion detection.

Thank your for pointing that out. Mocord is indeed what I'm going for. I'm essentially trying to offload the CPU work of detecting motion from the Server to the Camera itself. While it is working (somehow) by using the Monitor in Mocord-mode without having zones for motion detection defined (Thanks ...

I'll check it out, thanks! :D Just to make sure I understand your feedback: In order to avoid having two recordings for the same event, the regular 24/7 recording as well as the motion triggered one, the settings are to be changed in such a way that the regular recording stops once the motion trigge...

Hi, I'm currently filming a stork's nest. Recording is on 24/7. I'd like to use the camera's motion detection to have events with motion highlighted.

Dear all, I'm successfully using zoneminder in a home environment. Thanks to the devs for their continued passion. Following I'd like to share the steps I took to interact with java applets which set motion detection zones on Axis 209 cameras. TLDR: How to downgrade your browser and java version to ...
