This all works by calling zmu in the backend so zmu logs may have more info. ZMU logs show "unable to authenticate user" Might have to do with auth settings, especially AUTH_RELAY. What is yours set to ? If plain, then you may have to put stateful=1 in subsequent commands as well. Which i...

I have a script which worked well with 1.30 but wont work with 1.34, so I am trying to rewrite it to make it work with the new version. Very simple, log in, set alarm, sleep, unset alarm, logout. So here's the script (minus some of the surrounding code that's not relevant): curl -d "username=[u...

Seem unable to delete post, please ignore it. I figured out the upgrade....

Currently running 1.30.0 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Finally, have some time when ZM is not critical, so its time to upgrade. 1.30.0 has been, for me, extremely reliable, but all things must pass. Where are the upgrade instructions for 1.30-1.34 ? Any risks or things I should be aware of? (BTW, searching f...

restart zoneminder?

Ping @iconnor is this https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/la ... -04-bionic needing to be updated? It still seems to reference 1.32.

Go to 'Defining Monitors' and set all three fps fields to '0.1' This would wreck other things, but should work (in theory) if all I wanted was timelapse. Also, somewhere in the documentation it recommends setting FPS on the camera, not within ZM. All my cameras are set to 10FPS which has worked ver...

I gave up on motion detection on any outdoor scenes long ago. Clouds, winds, headlights all that stuff is motion.

I couldnt figure out how to make it work.

I have this working, but its by no means polished. Its in 2 parts: 1 - a cron script that uses the API to create a 1second alarm on a regular schedule. Works, currently set for every 5 minutes. 2 - Another script that will run once per day that finds the first frame from each alarm, extracts a copy ...

the control address should be login:password@ipaddress:80

I use local IP address for this situation, usually https://192.168.1.X/zm instead of the DNS name. Your browser may cry and whine about cert mismatch...but this approach always works for me.

Also, the monitor source should be local IP, not any alpha name.

What about using the API to arm the monitor, then immediately disarm it. Should be two simple calls, separated by a couple seconds. This could be done however often you want to pull the time lapse photo. Then run a daily script that would pull the first image from each event and store it somewhere o...

Real time. Store an image from monitor X every specified amount of time.
