The "Alarm Frame Count" variable inside the monitor definition windows does this From: http://zoneminder.readthedocs.org/en/stable/userguide/definemonitor.html (with added emphasis on the relevant portion) This option allows you to specify how many consecutive alarm frames must occur befor...

For folks looking to get access to APIs on Debian, please follow this guide till some version of 1.29 is released.
It's been tested to work with Debian 8 running zm 1.28.1

Updated: Instructions validated - https://github.com/pliablepixels/zmNinja/wiki/Getting-APIs-to-work-on-ZM-1.28.x old post: I now have a package for APIs for 1.28. Works well for ubuntu. I need someone to test it for Debian - catch me on #zoneminder in IRC and I can point you to instructions. Once s...

ok cool - yeah, I was wondering where you read that because it still hasn't made it to the official docs (which use cmake). Thanks

rayrayray, which instructions did you follow while building with do_debian_package?

On the plus side, this might imply ZM is hot again

ZMNinja is not compatible with multi-server as of today - the results are unpredictable because I don't have access to any working multi-server instance

With respect to how to use multi-server this guide may help: http://zoneminder.readthedocs.org/en/st ... erver.html

http://server/zm/index.php?skin=xml Note: Its very likely the skin will be deprecated in the next version of ZM (after 1.29) Thanks for reply. But it is necessary to obtain a list of monitors from the given server. Could You help me? --edit-- I need no API. It is enough for me to use HTTP requests. ...

If you haven't specified a site or secret key, it should allow you to login - it has safeguards built in for that. I just tried it - enable recaptcha, don't provision your keys, logout and login - it will allow you to login to ZM with a warning about your keys. On the other hand, if you put in inval...

1. start up web console of ZM
2. Go to Options->Paths
3. Change PATH_ZMS to /zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms

restart ZM to be safe (not really needed)

The invocation is wrong - please see the code I pointed to and trace through the invocations in streamReq.send
the view/request/connkey and auth need to be inside the data part of the POST not the url.

Some other notes: the pause is unreliable, once you do get it working ZMS has many issues

awesome - look forward to it. I'd also recommend you post to the Mobile Apps forum if you are developing a mobile app - its meant for this purpose as your questions are not really 1.29 related

BTW what are you building? I'm interested to see what people are doing with the APIs

When opening the /zms stream for a monitor, you can play events. But in the ZM console there are all kind of controls where the event stream can be manipulated with. Is there some kind of way to manipulate the stream from the /zms url like in the ZM console? There are certain things you can control...

Do these instructions still work?
