My Foscam I8905 keeps locking up, and needs rebooting. I wish I could cron a daily reboot. I weekly give all mine (not the same brand) a dose of salts with :- wget --http-user=root --http-password=$PASS -O /dev/null --post-data="Reset= Yes " http://cam01/DoReset.HTM or wget --http-user=ro...

Thanks for the info. Actually, my first distro was slackware, so I get it. :) So was mine, in '93/94, when it first came on 20-30 floppy disks. Continuity, that's the thing ;) As far as that 'blue screen' thing, I just realized it shows up when the Event "Cause" is "Signal". Oh,...

mikb: I don't have any log file in: /var/log/zm It's an empty directory. Where is this defined? On the 'logging' tab, I have an entry: LOG_DEBUG_FILE Where extra debug is output to (?) [ /tmp/zm/zm_debug.log+ ] I have that too, no idea what that's for :( "Options" "Paths" : &quo...

Daft question, but do you have a /tmp/zm/zmswap-m3 .... directory, or have you accidentally/deliberateely purged /tmp while ZM was running?

What happens if you restart zoneminder, does it go away? "zmpkg.pl restart" from the command line ...

Are the blue images coming from the camera, or from ZoneMinder? With my cameras (not the same brand), when there's a comms error between the capture demon of Zoneminder, and the camera (over an IP Link), the capture demon returns a placeholder "blue picture" which is analyzed and saved ins...

Click on the "source" for the camera you wish to tweak (3rd column of main ZoneMinder display), then "Buffers" tab and "Post Event Image Count". This is the number of frames stored AFTER the event has ended, and is in "frames", so work out how many frames-per-...

On the principle that I found a bug, couldn't quite reproduce it, and so wanted to avoid it happening again!

Well it's true, isn't it? You can use all sorts of notations in the filters. I'm not sure if the "ago" is needed/ignored, but it makes it clearer to me.

Yep. Tried that. No joy. Oh, well the zone-define problem you had would definitely persist across waggling the camera on and off. I see :( I should never have been able to move a point out of range in the first place. ... it should have just put the point within range, Absolutely right, just clip i...

The only solution in the mean time I could see was to re-add the camera. Each time I did, it came back green. I was able to get on with my day. While you are fixing whatever your underlying problem is, don't re-add the camera, try setting it from "Modect/Record" to "None" and th...

Literally :-
but I'm sure other syntaxes are available

As hinted it in http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=21156&p=80211#p80211 Is it possible to add an option to specify a command to be run when a [IP?] camera is dropping the signal, or otherwise misbehaving? It would need to be per-camera, not global, as some cameras may not ...

it's not like zm can do anything about it like send the camera a reset. True, but at least in can tell the difference and log it, turn the status RED etc. I'm sure someone somewhere has a mod that could reset the camera remotely. If not, that should be a feature request :) Actually, I use a (timed)...

either via /video/mjpg.cgi or via /image/jpeg.cgi. Could someone point me towards links as to why one would chose one or the other? In my opinion: MJPEG should be more efficient. Although both streams are likely to be similar quality, on my DLink DCS900 cameras, MJPEG is kicked off with a single HT...
