Is there a way to look at the real-time zone stats on a live feed? I've got some activity that isn't triggering an alarm and I want to figure out if it's because of not sensitive enough active zones or too sensitive preclusive zones.

I'd like to modify the export code so that it generates a filename that includes the camera name, and a timestamp so that I don't have to manually rename the zip files each time I export (it's currently always named zmexport.zip). If I do this and submit a pull request, will it be adopted?

I haven't had to deal with slow bandwidth for quite some time now -- hell, my cell phone gets faster data rates than my home.

How can I configure zoneminder to default to "high" instead of "low" when opening in a browser?

I know this is a pie-n-the-sky request -- It's likely way too complex but ... The best analogy would be spam filtering --- some filters allow one to train the filter by telling it what is spam and what is ham. I'm looking for something similar here. As I go through the captured events, I can flag it...

Currently, there is an existing feature that will draw a border around the area of the image that triggered the event. This is nice. What I'd also like is feedback that would tell me the sensitivity numbers for that zone so that the frame wouldn't have triggered -- I.E. find the threshold. This woul...

For some areas outside, getting the cameras to capture just what I want is fairly hard to do (More so at night with passing vehicles, or stormy weather). Currently I am looking at the false positives, checking the alarm frame(s) to see where things are triggering, and then guessing at what to adjust...

Thanks for the background info asker, and for breathing new life into the API.

It's not even funny how many frameworks there are for php now. I wonder why cakePHP was chosen.

Thanks jtech. Others have mentioned creating duplicate monitors to solve other issues too. I'll have to investigate this further... Does that increase cpu usage? I remember setting up monitors before and disabling them, yet I saw zmc processes that weren't 0% utilization. I'm thinking that fancy new...

asker, The docs state: The API is built in CakePHP and lives under the /api directory. It provides a RESTful service and supports CRUD (create, retrieve, update, delete) functions for Monitors, Events, Frames , Zones and Config. Since it states "Frames" is already supposed to be part of th...

Thanks for the reply knnniggett.

So the "state" information is only the configuration options under "Source" for each monitor, and maybe the settings under "Options" for the entire system?

Lol, when I tried that I got this: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 32 bytes) in /usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/lib/Cake/Model/Datasource/Database/Mysql.php on line 274 So, yeah, it's returning all the frames in the entire database. No matter what I tri...

I noticed that when viewing a live feed from my camera, the quality isn't quite as good as when I use the camera's own web interface.

Is this an artifact of using rtsp, or is the lesser quality a result of going through ffmpeg?

Can anyone answer the linked monitor question? Is it bidirectional?

Anyone?

Can different states contain different zones? It seems like whenever I switch zones from the console, it overwrites the zones I had created for a different state. I'm not sure if this is because I may have accidentally clicked "save" instead of "apply" after selecting the differe...
