I made a couple changes (edited the code in the first post). 1. I found out that if the run state changes (either stopped -> running or in any other way that causes a different set of monitors to be enabled), the list of monitors needs to be rebuilt. Therefore, I put the code to create the list of m...

I believe AutoEmail is the flag that gets set for an event matching your filter conditions when you have "Email details of all matches" checked. Just curious, have you tried it without ssmtp? I suppose another thing you could is to add more Info() calls in zmfilter.pl. That way you could s...

Not exactly a solution for your filter problem, but you could try this motion alert notification script I created. It doesn't depend on filters, so you can see if that works. Be sure to edit the inputs as described in the first post. https://forums.zoneminder.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=26758 Feel f...

I haved try with -x option but not working. (their is some line about wayland) I need command line if anybody can help, this bug is really, really, really blocking. (so painful that I check for alternatives) See this link for enabling downloading source code with apt: https://askubuntu.com/question...

UPDATE 1/31/19: I have ditched the Perl script below and switched to Python with the ZoneMinder API. I have also implemented object detection to eliminate false alerts. See post 12 for more information and a link to the code. It's easy to set up filters to send SMS or email notifications. The proble...

Depending on how many different permutations of zones you want to have, you could just duplicate the monitor but set the zones differently. Then use run states to enable/disable them at different times of the day. This is what I'm doing with one of mine to change motion detection sensitivity for day...

Well, I can partially answer my own question. For one thing, the Analysis FPS doesn't have to be an integer, so I set it to 2.5 while my cameras stream at 5 FPS. It does pretty much what I thought, except that when in Modect mode the events will be saved at the Analysis FPS, not the stream FPS. When...

Are they IP cameras, though? It could be your ISP being flakey, I guess. What is your system load like?

Are these wifi cameras? I had similar problems (with the exception of the ffmpeg warning, as far as I remember) after upgrading my router's firmware, which, as it turned out, made the network unstable and caused the to disconnect frequently. I also ended up with many events caused by "Signal.&q...

Hi, I don't see any documentation on this setting. There is a little bit of info on the forums, but not a lot, so I wanted to get some clarification. I have my IP camera set to stream at 5 FPS. That seems to be plenty for recording events, and my wifi bandwidth handles it fine. If the Analysis FPS d...

Another use case: using duplicate monitors to change motion detection sensitivities at different times of the day.

Another thing that I just found out: if I attempt to create zones by entering in values for the points instead of dragging them with the mouse, the areas (listed next to each zone at the bottom when you click on the "zones" link for a monitor) end up all wrong. If you try to enter all the ...

I'm new to ZoneMinder, having started with it about a week ago. I'm in the process of setting up my system and have found that I need more sensitive zone settings at night for the one monitor I have so far. To switch settings for day and night, I have cloned the monitor and set up run states appropr...
