I've noticed the default output is of rather low quality myself. Maybe you should try this (Options -> Images):
ZM_FFMPEG_OUTPUT_OPTIONS = -r 20 -pass 2 -b 5000k

Works well for me.

Has anyone considered making a mod to the events archive (camera monitor -> archive) that, instead of a table with stats, is more like the 'thumbnail' view in WinXP and uses onmouseover events to put the thumbnail event into motion? I've considered doing this myself, but figured I would throw the id...

ZM don't send \r\n (such RFC said) at the end of "GET", but only "\n"

You could skip PoE injectors altogether as well by wiring your power cord right into the ethernet on an unused pair (like brown). Kinda hackish, but it saved me on a couple old cameras of mine that had expensive injectors.

If you're really tight on budget and can't afford a PoE switch or PoE cameras, you could (and I do not really advocate this, but it works) make your own PoEs by clipping the power cord and hooking it up to a couple wires off the ethernet cable that are unused (like the brown pair). I had a couple Ax...

Place this in the area of your zm_html_view_console.php script you want to display the system uptime. (Mine is right under the date/time in upper-left). Starting with line 224: ! <td class="smallhead" style="line-height:11px" align="left"><?= preg_match( '/%/', DATE_FMT...

You can search forum wide for postings by poster-name. I've posted a Sony PTZ control script, a patch for displaying events properly when clicking on the Totals at the bottom of the console page, and a few others... The zm_mpeg.h is from the zoneminder package, and this compiling error only happens ...

Be sure to look around for patches. I've posted a few under this name and "ammaross".

Could you include lines 22-40 or so from your zm_mpeg.h file? It likely has to do with this error: zm_mpeg.h:26: error: stray ‘\342’ in program Which is likely due to a direct copy/paste of my code, which due to a document auto-formatting problem changed a legal " into an illegal “. Try changin...

Think the question should have been "Who isn't using PHP5 out there?"

PHP5 on Fedora6, no problems.
and
PHP5 on Fedora5 for more than a year. No problems.

Try this: In src/zm_mpeg.h starting on line 26, add the lines with the + (removing the + of course) The other lines are just for reference and should be already in the file. #define ZM_MPEG_H +extern "C" { +#define __STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS #include <ffmpeg/avformat.h> +} #if FFMPEG_VERSION_I...

I have a network-attached SNC-RZ30n that I've been dying to get a control script for, but sadly, only a serial-attached script was provided by ZM. So, using it as a bit of a reference, and also the PDF manual provided by goreo95033, I whipped up a functioning control script. #!/usr/bin/php <?php /* ...

I have an Axis 2100 on my camera network. It was a bit rough setting it up, but here's what I use: Remote Host Name: <user>:<pass>@<ipaddress> Remote Host Port: 80 Remote Host Path: /axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi?resolution=320x240 Remote Image Colors: 24 bit color Capture Width: 320 Capture Height: 240 Th...

Yes, definately install from source. Much easier.

What is your StartServers, MinSpareServers, and MinSpareThreads set to in your httpd.conf (prefork.c and worker.c modules)? Probably would be a good idea to crank them down a bit since you're really only hosting the ZM Console.
