SIGTERM means something requested it shut down, is an outside app killing or restarting apache?

900 fps/sec is certainly a lot to process, but it will depend on how much analysis zoneminder is doing too. Only real way to know is buy the hardware and test, but one easy thing to do is cut that FPS back, I am not sure what your application is exactly but generally 30 fps is quite high for securit...

source type FFMPEG, source path /dev/video1 should be all you need if it works with mplayer and its local, if that doesn't work see what errors are thrown with debugging on

actually if mplayer can play the mjpeg stream then it should work with ZM without issue. Just set the type to "FFMPEG" instead of remote, and plugin the url and it should work. There is a slight difference between mplayer and FFMPEG's mjpeg handling that has thrown some cameras, FFMPEG wil...

You can do this in the source fairly easily, the problem is the files are being written at say 30fps, chance of getting a clean read is fairly hard without interfering with the backend. As part of another ZM project I am working on I created a FIFO pipe and write certain frames to the pipe but only ...

ZM can only record raw frames, while it can most likely read your mpeg4 stream (which will save on bw but will probably result in lower quality pictures) it will parse it into jpegs and events are saved out in this format.

You may want to check dmesg as it may have some detection info when the the modules are probed in, on the card.

Also a minor detail but this forum is for hardware known to work with ZM, 'Hardware Queries' is more for questions on if it will.

also deleting them on the filesystem ZM will actually figure out that you removed them so you can do that too.

for what its worth, you definately can get something similar its just that it DOES cost money which was one of your anti-prereqs.

Generally cheap 'high resolution' cameras are going to have fps/motion issues as they are cheap. That is why a lot of license plate systems also use cameras, its a lot simpler and getting higher quality images is easier. I am sure part of it will depend on the distance you want to capture from and h...

Thanks Phil, may want to wait a few more days I have a few other things I found including an important one that should be applied with the rest of this patch otherwise people can have some undesired results.

yes that is normal, use mjpeg stream, it will give you far higher

put one online as you want to get the MJPEG stream out of it. as for two step auth depends how often you have to authenticate, if just once then just add an auth call on startup, if it requires cookies or something else depends again on how often they expire but its just just a one step thing.

the hardware requirements to decode a dozen megapixel x264 frames at once are hoing to be huge (unless you find some way to offload it) id take one camera and some random decoder and see how much power it really takes to decode it which would give you an estimate of the minimum backend power for one...

Well depends on what frame rate you need too. Some higher end cameras have dedicate night vision sides that actually increase exposure time, can work with very little illumination but still provide a very good picture. The problem is it will lower your FPS and longer exposure time means harder to ca...
