I'm currently working on integrating ZM with a Home Automation Inc (HAI) Omni Pro II security/automation panel. At this point in time, I've added buttons to the ZM watch.php web page to turn on flood lights via the HAI security/automation panel in the vicinity of the cameras. My cameras are IR but I...

Yes,MySql is a very important piece of ZM. But I really need everything backed up since I have customized ZM php web pages. Also, Apache has been somewhat customized. From my perspective, it seems as though CloneZilla is the way to go.

I am considering a backup/restore utility for my ZM box. It was mentioned on the forums that CloneZilla would be a good option. Since I'm more experienced in Windows than Linux, can anybody provide info to guide me in the right direction for backing up and restoring a ZM box?

Might I also suggest that you also put your ZM box on a UPS system. In the past, I've had to rebuild my ZM box a few times due to power outages. I got lucky on the last power outage and only had to recreate a mySQL table. I have finally learned my lesson the hard way and put my ZM box on a UPS. Even...

I recently experienced two back to back power outages which have corrupted my ZM. Prior to the outages, I used the default setting to access ZM. That is, I was not prompted to login using a userid and password. After the outages, I am prompted to login. The ZM URL listing has been changed to ZM_WEB_...

Found it. Thanx!!

I've just installed ZM 1.25.0 on Ubuntu 11.10 i386 server and have been getting the following error in the ZM log Shared data size conflict in shared_data for monitor... expected 328 got 316 It's my understanding to resolve this problem the Memory.pm file has to be updated. The posts that I found on...

I like the "Barking Dog Alarm" idea and would like to incorporate into my rather large and complex system. Is it fully operational and does it work reliably on a machine that is not necessarily ZM server - just displaying the streams?? If there are any issues, what are they?? I'm not sure...

you have a script in C that does something like that? No, I personally don't have that specific type of C code. But I will provide additional info that will get you about 95% of the way to accomplishing your task. First, I've listed a link below to a Windows server example. It's an excellent exampl...

for example I open ZM in windows xp but the script.pl not work because it work on zm server... . I want to create a script that let me open a window in windows xp when there is an alarm...can help me? Well, one option is to develop a client/server app where the server would reside on your Windows b...

I've just posted C source code in the user contributions forum that changes the function of a particular monitor. You can modify this code to automatically set/change brightness, color and hue. Here's the link http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... =9&t=19339

One thing I like about Zoneminder is the "state" setting that can be called by a cron script. It doesn't seem to be able to control the brightness, contrast, colour or hue though. Does anyone know of scripts that access that part of the Zoneminder programming and are used for automaticall...

Just a FYI. Keep in mind that you also have to update Apache to listen on 8080 by editing (updating) the ports.conf and 000-default files. Also, you'll probably have to allow 8080 on ufw.

Try changing the port to something other than 80. For example, use 8080 instead of 80. Port 80 is sometimes blocked by the ISP or your router may be using 80 internally as a method of remote administration which may be causing your grief.
