if you haven't found the solution yet, you have to, stop ZM copy the events dir to the location you want and then add or replace a symlink to that location. it really depends on what distro you used and how ZM was installed. some have symlinks and some installs use a real events folder. you may need...

yup... save the run state with the camera on, maybe as "daytime" then turn it off and save the run state as "nighttime" from there you use cron to change run states. it's not hard to do and there are examples in this forum. problem is that searches in the forum turn up alot of >>...

I use fail2ban on ubuntu, the log files are in /var/log. fail2ban.log, fail2ban.log.1 and so on. if ya want to use it for apache log in fails. you need to "enable" apache in fail 2 ban. the default setting is ssh only. I might be wrong, but i think you need to use apache basic auth for fai...

can anyone tell me how to apply this patch.
i'm using the 1.25.1 from ubuntu on 12.04 LTS

If the Everfocus DVR has an option to view images with firefox / no active X
you might get the image string from that. I do network connections for CCTV
companies and have worked with quite a few DVR brands.
i'm not sure which ones will work with firefox but some do, mostly just to view cam streams.

i only get this ii libmysqlclient18 5.5.22-0ubuntu1 MySQL database client library i did my install from a fresh copy of ubuntu server. while installing the OS i picked LAMP server then did the zoneminder package file from repos hope this helps

I didn't compile it from source but i haven't had any problems with 1.25.0 that came from the repositories for 12.04 64 bit LTS server, works well. all i did is secure apache2 a little.

i use 8 channel cards with 8 chips from bluecherry. i usually set them for 10 or 15 fps each. i've got a few people with this setup with 8 cams and the videos made are nice. real time might be 24fps but 15 doesn't miss much. the only time i've had problems is when i use a very large hard drive simil...

oh, i wanted to add every crash of the mysql database was
the direct result of a bad battery in the UPS hooked to the ZM machine
where there was a power loss and the battery was completely dead.
2 times they were new UPS s

@Flash_ flash have you done this with good results ? although i've heard ppl say zoneminder is too buggy to use in production i have done about 5 for friends and none of them have any problems with the exception of crashed msql databases. what would be a reliable remote link for msql ? i've got a fe...

one way is to setup zm on the local with the cams as monitors

then on remote server/recorder install zm and stream the monitors from the first/local box

the image quality will be what you set in images streaming quality on the local zm

I use Apache2's authentication module and disable Indexing. along with that i install fail2ban and set it up for apache works pretty well you don't get the password right in 3 or 4 tries and you are multi-port banned for a few hours. your server doesn't respond on any ports from the requesting IP ad...

I would have to agree with all of the above about trying to fix your install. it can be done but might need more knowledge than you may have. it would be much easier for you to reinstall ubuntu. if you have a CD ROM drive in the pc then it's the easiest thing you might do with linux. if you don't ha...

cause you didn't set it for ZM_FFMPEG_INPUT_OPTIONS = -sameq ?

ok seriously, goto > Options / Images / ZM_FFMPEG_INPUT_OPTIONS

and put -sameq in the box.

you'd be amazed at the difference
