Re: Wifi Chinese Bulb camera

See: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Finding_Camera_Stream_Paths Hopefully it's as simple as pointing to the right rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path, where maybe you can get the path from wireshark, but some of these devices have custom handshaking in order to get access to the stream. I would a...

Re: zoneminder-controlcenter: console interface to set ZoneMinder run state

I actually built something similar a couple of years ago. But it had some flaws, and I didn't put it into production. My approach was different as it used an Arduino. I thought you shouldn't need to run a whole Linux stack to just send some HTTP requests. Well, that is right, but it was more difficu...

Re: Hardware and feasibilty check (large project)

I'd think with enough cores, you can run 80+ cameras. I run up to about 30-40 with powerful but not top of the line server hardware (16 cores). If I was in your situation I'd use record / passthrough on the high res stream and then mocord on the low res stream. This has been discussed in the forum a...

Sounds like the second HDD is not properly setup. See: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Using_a_ded ... Hard_Drive

Re: Docker ZM running tail -F

to my understanding, docker needs something to run otherwise it will create the container, then just stop. this is out of the scope of zm, you'll find better info in docker books or just searching "why does docker have entrypoint.sh" online. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71835673/wha...

Re: Weird error in logs repeating frequently

Login to the container. Usually that error means the folder doesn't exist or the folder has the wrong permissions.

Code: Select all

docker exec -it <containername> /bin/bash

Re: Released 1.36.32 The Memory Remains

It is doing the same in all browsers and OS. See zm.png from attachments I am not able to find out how to fix it. Used OS is Debian Bullseye ...

Re: Docker ssl/https

How much experience do you have with Docker? If you can setup normal ZM SSL, then it shouldn't be much more difficult in docker. The SSL settings are briefly noted here: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/API#SSL_Configuration Although the instructions assume some basic familiarity with Apache and SSL. Als...

Re: Overlay lots of Data

You can do a proxy for a network stream with ffmpeg and overlay a transparent image on it. I'd think it would be practical for one or two streams. I wouldn't do many. You also have to be concerned with ffmpeg disconnecting. But as a reference this is handled in ffmpeg with the below. You may want to...

Re: Playback is too fast

Ok, with that info I can get it working. i.e., if I keep it as jpegs instead of trying to encode H264 it works no problem. But the mp4 playback should be working for the encoded video. So to summarize: mjpeg camera, 1024x768 8fps -> source: ffmpeg, encode to h264, no jpegs -> live view works, downlo...

Re: Playback is too fast

I'm seeing this behavior in 1.36, specifically in a machine upgraded from 1.34 to 1.36, now on 1.36.32 The speedup is only on the web stream of old footage. The videos downloaded, play at normal speed. It also only happens on MJPEG cameras (axis) using FFMPEG. I have an h264 rtsp stream which plays ...

VNC not reconnecting after shutdown

In 1.36.31 (and earlier versions), I am seeing behavior where a monitor of source type: VNC for Windows will freeze after a shutdown on the host machine. You are left with the recording showing only the shutdown screen. It doesn't reconnect to the computer when its powered back on. It's possible tha...

Test outside of ZM first. It's much easier.

Remote is EOL. I received a bit of memory leakage in remote upgrading from1.34 to 1.36 and had to stop using remote as a source for cameras. Use Ffmpeg or VLC.
