Raspberry PI may well display 4 cameras in a web browser, not sure if it would run ZM and motion detect them as well though! As to a big-screen display of cameras, it's more resource friendly to write your own montage page than make ZM do it. Simple HTML and maybe a touch of Javascript. Depends how ...

"The camera logs for sure and I think I confirmed it with ZM connectios, but I am not at the site now and cannot confirm. Again, and sorry for the ignorance, what should I look for this info to be more precise?" I wasn't sure how smart the cameras were (meaning: they might confirm how many...

Zoneminder has 10 opened connections to that camera. Obviously ZM should not have 10 open connections. I'm guessing that 9 or 10 of them are dead connections just hanging about. When you get to 10 dead ones, the camera won't talk at all. Is there anything different about this 1 camera compared to t...

I agree, this is a good tip. However, this leads to another question. Suppose my IP Camers do not support HTTPS. Will this undermine all the efforts of having HTTPS enabled for zoneminder? OK -- well it depends what you're trying to expose to the outside world, and where you think the bad guys are ...

so I can access https://localhost:443/zm and in my router settings, I portforward 443 to assume 500, then I can access https://myipaddress:500/zm. Is there a reason to not use https? I thought https was to ensure security when accessing remotely? Maybe I've not read that right, but, I think you'd a...

This is not a dumb question at all mikb, thanks for your response. I'm glad that I am getting some guidance. The answer is no, I haven't used 443 at all. I'm actually a newbie with all this and was not aware about 443. Port 443 is used for HTTPS protocol separately to port 80 for HTTP, so that coul...

I fear I installed from package....im not that smart yet....I am old Noob.... Then you will never find zm_ffmpeg_camera.cpp, as that's where it will be ... in the source :( Either try building from source (if you feel brave enough) or wait for an upgraded package that may or may not fix the problem.

Dumb question: Have you forwarded ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) ?

Not only did I add "Overload Frame Ignore Count: 2" to the zone as suggested by mikb, but I also increased "Alarm frame count:2" on the monitor. Tweaking will continue, I've got the number of events down from hundreds a day to a couple of dozen. Ack! I forgot that one -- I was l...

If you can't fix the underlying problem of the blue-blips, on the zone-area settings dialogue, for each erratic camera, try "Overload Frame Ignore Count: 2" see if that calms it down?

Nobody as any information on this? Sounds more like a basic networking problem/question than a Zoneminder specific thing. When you say you have 2 NICs, unless you are doing something very clever, they will have different IP addresses, most likely in different subnets, and your routing table will wo...

My camera is D-Link Network Camera.When my laptop connected to the Zoneminder-1.25.0 through the wireless router,I found it get a picture every 15 seconds.That's not what I want.What I want is a real-time video.When I configured the Zoneminder,I added "sleep 15" before "zmfix -a"...

currently i have foscam ip camera that is working fine, but i would love to have ZM manage it. from what i understand i need to get a capture device installed and running for ZM to work it's magic. dvb_usb_af9015 /dev/dvb/adapter0 Hi! The key is in your statement "FOSCAM IP Camera", this ...

Did you enable high verbosity for debug or there are a lot of warning or error? Oooo I forgot about debug! Zoneminder does a lot of logging through syslogd (into /var/log/syslog or /var/log/zm/zm/log) and also puts it all in the SQL database. If you have a high level of debug/errors occurring, you ...
