ZoneMinder Forums

The problem I faced was having more than one USB2 Camera using a single USB3 connection. There is no USB2 to USB3 transaction translation so it is really like being on a USB2 line. The bandwidth hungry Camera (in my case 3 logitech c930e) wants all the bandwidth for itself. I was able to get the com...

I have an older camera. Mine works only with 1.x firmware. But there seems to be a lot of information in ubnt forums about 3.x and zoneminder.

I had to downgrade to under 3.x for my cam to work.

You can also try and enable authentication.

Does the cam work in VLC?

I can get two cameras to stream over a hub like this: ffplay -f v4l2 -input_format mjpeg -framerate 4 -i /dev/video0 ffplay -f v4l2 -input_format mjpeg -framerate 4 -i /dev/video1 But I fail to get ZM to do the same. I am getting: Failed to start capture stream: No space left on device I have tried ...

Not sure where to ask this. Hope it fits here? I want to block my camera from the internet for the purpose to protect it from outside threat and from phoning home. I just want to block its MAC. I realize that it will not stop the camera if it is really bad and spoofs a mac. So, the camera is behind ...

You can try it with VLC. You can try it with ffmpg directly. I think you can run zmc from prompt. You can look at the zoneminder log but for my cameras the only thing I get is "operation now in progress". You can try and proxy the stream with live555proxy. That has a very talkative -D opti...

It phones home? 47.88.86.102 is jovision.com the manufacturer of the firmware. More worrying to me is that it is impossible to change the root password. passwd says "ok, it is changed" but after camera reboot i´the password is back to default. On the other hand, this seems to be the case f...

I am looking through your blog and have ordered all the hardware. Now, I don´t understand how you use the USB to power your device? Do you convert 5 v to 3,3 in the case or do you send 3,3 over a usb cable? Thanks /Sigge You write a script, which reads the temp from your device, then it should write...

So I just fiddled with the settings. Changing the AUTH_HASH_SECRET to something not containing non US characters seems to fix the issue.

Seems like it was unrelated to the authentication problem I had with the camera.

When you have the stream open in VLC; right click and go to tools -> codec information. I get two values here. Resolution and display resolution. I use resolution that is also bigger. Zoneminder uses ffmpeg (?) unless you choose vlclib (?). I never got vlclib to work. You can get better error messag...

Now I am getting trouble when switching on Authentication: Unable to authenticate user zms.cpp Could this be a case of wrong timezone? Or the reported bugs?

Running ffmpeg directly gave me: method DESCRIBE failed: 401 Unauthorized

I set a user name and and password in the camera and voila! It works!

Hello, I am having trouble with Operation now in progress and "Unable to parse ffmpeg option 0 '', expecting key=value" I can connect with vlc. The camera log shows "Connected. Type [rtsp] User: [] IP [..]" and also disconnected when I use vlc. There are no log entry's from the z...
