Thank you so much... I changed the port, went back and made sure I had the correct spaces in the scripts. I can finally see call my cameras in ZM. :D Thank you for not giving up on the post when I actually was close to doing so. Learnt so much in short time with your responses. Excellent news! Just...

I assume you mean "1" was the output from zmodopipe. That's not so useful then, I was hoping for more :) The ffserver log shows ffserver didn't start. I'm guessing that use of ffserver in this endeavour is NOT optional, which is why it's there. /etc/ffserver2.conf:1: Port option is depreca...

You may well have some error messages that you can't see. I don't know anything about zmodopipe, but :- ./zmodopipe -s 192.168.86.4 -p 18004 -c 1 -u TESTER-a 1234-m 1 > /dev/null 2>&1 & ffserver -f /etc/ffserver2.conf > /tmp/ffserver.log 2>&1 & The first command may well spit out som...

spark@ManCave:~$ cat ./dvr_connect #!/bin/bash I'm hoping this is not appearing as a daft answer, but can I just check that it's not something so obvious that I didn't ask ;) You have a file you have created, called "dvr_connect", which you have made executable (it is a script, so "c...

> Running "echo $SHELL" results is /bin/bash So you clearly *have* bash in the place your script indicates. Which makes me think that the script is lying about the error in line 1 -- this can happen sometimes, and it's not helpful when debugging. :) ffmpeg and ffserver returning lots of st...

When I try to run "./dvr_connect" I get "./dvr_connect.sh: line 1: spark@ManCave:~$: command not found" Line 1 is "#!/bin/bash" Do you *have* bash installed at /bin/bash ? (If not, that would explain a lot!) What does "echo $SHELL" tell you about your current...

It is not double -- if you look closely you will see that one of the directories is real, and the other one is an illusion ... (Actually, a symbolic link) It is normal, it doesn't take up twice the space, it is for convenience -- one directory name is the "camera id" (1,2,3,4 ....) and the...

Start Date Less than or equal to -30 day Make sure that's MINUS 30 days, not just "30". The minus means "30 days ago", the "less than or equal to" means older than that time. You only need one filter to deal with "Purge When Old" -- you way want a second filt...

Can you clarify if you mean the raspberry pi's own, flex-connected, camera? If so, it doesn't have an ip address/password. It's a physically attached camera (like a USB camera) to your computer (Pi Zero) and so will be treated as such -- maybe /dev/video (followed by 0,1,10) and only visible *on* th...

I have Hivision camera and having same smearing image issue. By setting the Alarm Frame Count to 3 under the Buffer tab in Monitor had help but does not totally eliminate the false alarm. "Alarm Frame Count to 3" means it will ignore short term "massive change" situations (e.g. ...

Many references to this on the forum under blurring, streaking, smearing, pixellating and all other possible synonyms -- you are getting a bit of corrupted data and the rest of the video streeeeeeeeeeee ... ... until the next block/group of pictures starts afresh and everything gets back in sync.

Yes, normal. Pass through shovels data from the camera into a file. Fast and dirty. The re-encode option takes the data from the camera, decompresses it, overlays time/date etc. and re-compresses it back to disk, which takes more work. You could get the camera to add timestamps, it it supports that ...

It does sound like "I Denial-Of-Service'd-Myself-In-The-Foot" in the making.

If VLC plays no audio, the audio is either not there (my VLC warns when there is no audio stream) or is not understood, or is a silent stream. If you have FFMPEG installed, try running "ffprobe /path/to/a/video.mp4" and see what it says, it will tell you what's inside the container, e.g :-...
