if it were me I would just create a custom html page and embed the RTSP stream, or use ZM to create an RTSP stream and then add your buttons to that page. I think the web directory is /usr/share/zoneminder/www so I would just create a folder inside that with your extra web pages like /usr/share ...

I am running the latest ZM installed on Debian 12 (bookworm). It took me a couple of tries, but once I got it installed and tweaked my cameras it is working fine. I left Ubuntu behind a few years ago when they started pushing snap for everything. I only use Debian now for my various desktops and ...

Hello, I'am testing the method described and it works very well for reducing CPU load. But i can't make use of the montage review, i always get this error : web_js 5439 ERR There was an error - error() I guess the js component is expecting the lower resolution frame and can't load the real frame ...

I had the same problem a while ago. I ended up going with the Reolink RLC-520 (PoE). Solid image quality (5MP), supports RTSP out of the box, no cloud/app issues, and works great with Zoneminder once you tweak the stream settings. I have a few Reolink RLC-520a cameras in the mix (along with a few ...

1. make sure your root user has global permissions for all databases, and make sure you have a password set for that root user. phpMyadmin simplifies user permissions and such if the command line is a problem. 2. Also try not to use too many special characters in your password like "@" or "#" as ...

I do not remember having to do anything special to get ZM to listen on a particular interface. I have 3 different ethernet ports on my ZM and have each one set with a static IP address. ZM shows up on all three addresses without me having to do anything in particular. One of the addresses I use for ...

You could possibly pay for some help from the Zoneminder guy(s):

They do remote assistance. It might be worth some dollars just to get a good basic setup.

This is what I get to see. I don't know what it means. ZoneMinder Error Unable to connect to ZM db using dsn ZM_DB_TYPE:host=ZM_DB_HOST;dbname=ZM_DB_NAME You have to put your database type, host, username and password in /etc/zm/zm.conf Find the parts that look like this and change them to match ...

My issues were my wife's wind-chimes, bugs flying around the cameras at night, and random rain. I have motion detection on all the cameras using the main stream - that view at low-resolution but record at high resolution, and then I use the low-res stream to constant record to a different hard-drive ...

This sounds like a raspberry pi project.

..if you like dinkering with that sort of thing.

Very cool. Your persistence is admirable. It took me about a week to get ZM fully working, then another week to figure out how to get zones working.

Another thing I did that I just found in my notes was to disable the ZM apache config located in: /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/zoneminder.conf This is a symlink to /etc/apache2/conf-available/zoneminder.conf so you can delete it, restart apache...if it helps then keep it deleted, otherwise just create ...

I am guessing you have been doing this already, but just in case: Are your permissions all correct? Have you given www-data permissions on your storage and such? I suggested this to one guy, but he insisted this broke his database, which is a funny thing to say. Here is from my notes (which I kept ...

In my notes for setting up ZM I have this:

finally, run:
and (changing username and password to match my setup)

In my config I have: Alias /cache/zoneminder "@ZM_CACHEDIR@" <Directory "/var/cache/zoneminder/cache"> Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All <IfModule mod_authz_core.c> Require all granted </IfModule> </Directory> I think the "@ZM_CACHEDIR@" is a variable for the cache directory, but it ...
