Okay, lot of problems solved. Need some help from here: Some background: I am running Ubuntu 14.04. I used cmake to build ZM from zm source a) zmc was crashing when started from the zm init script because it could not find libavformat.so.56. The problem seems to be that when run as "sudo -u www...

I'm at a stage right now where running zmc from command line works perfectly www-data@camerapc:~$ zmc -m1 logs: Apr 9 19:17:07 camerapc zmc_m1[2253]: INF [Priming capture from rtsp://xxx:xxxx@xxx.xxxx:20003/videoMain] Apr 9 19:17:28 camerapc zmc_m1[2253]: INF [Got signal 2 (Interrupt), exiting] Apr ...

Okay, this is a complete disaster :( Has anyone tested the cmake path with Ubuntu? a) The zm script inside scripts/ does not run on ubuntu -- I had to rework parts of its syntax to make it work (the zm script that starts ZM as a service) b) Now that I have it running, it looks like zmc is expecting ...

problem solved for now - had to recompile ffmpeg .

Cmake install wasn't 'automatic' so far.
I had to manually add LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib to my env. which should not be the same - otherwise all the zm* binaries were not finding libav* library

Yes, I recommend you develop your app to use the API rather than the xml skin. Recommend you use a zoneminder built from cmake, rather than autotools. That doesn't necessarily mean you have to build from source yourself. I don't recall if you have previously mentioned the distro you are using. Fedo...

Hi, I am trying to use cmake to compile Zoneminder (so I get access to authenticated APIs for my mobile app). This is the first time I am using Cmake I am on Ubuntu 14.04 and have checked out ZM via git clone https://github.com/ZoneMinder/ZoneMinder.git Followed by a cmake . -DZM_DB_USER=xxxx -DZM_D...

I'm not sure how many people are still using autotools. Many have already switched over to cmake. In time, we will get rid of autotools altogether. We also plan to eventually depreciate the xml skin, in favor of Kyle's API. Do you recommend I switch to using APIs? I can reinstall ZM with make. I ha...

Thank you. I did notice that thread of discussion. Given that it only gets installed via cmake, I'd suspect a majority of people won't be using it, which makes using it in my mobile app a non starter for now. I do look forward to it being a mainstream part of a new update to ZM - it would be pretty ...

I made PTZ work on my 9831W - should be similar. http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... eras_-_PTZ

I did not work on it anymore than validating it moves around because I don't use PTZ inside ZM, so feel free to give it a whirl and fix errors

It seems Axis cameras allow for adding compression parameters in the video URL for RTSP which is pretty cool. http://custforum.axis.com/viewtopic.php?p=5079&sid=8bd9b9d69385cdadfced1bfdfcf1b1a6 So I'd probably either: a) Create two RTSP streams (one for night and one for day) in-camera and use r...

C) Almost...It's not really recording much, but it's just taking more bandwidth. I have a feeling it's something with the compression...The low light is causing more "noise" in the picture, which means it can't compress as efficiently. We do get some random recordings when someone drives ...

:lol: keeping posting - I had the same issue in my first few posts. So I had a similar issue when I started with ZM. First camera worked great, second one bonked just like yours with similar messages. The problem was I was running out of "mapped memory" (the space inside /var/run). Increas...

Cool, thanks PacoLM. It will be a while before I get to Android - but will be happy to get it by your way.
I'm learning iOS/AngularJS programming now

zmu can only be used to enable/disable a monitor, not change its mode. What you want is "run states" - set up two different "states" and configure your monitors in each state. Then switch states using zmpkg.pl <statename> in your script. http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/F...

I'll try and put some thoughts forward. But first, let's make sure I understand your predicament accurately. Would appreciate if you could ack/nack each point: a) You have 4 cameras set to "Nodect" (_not_ Modect) . That means ZM is not doing motion detection. You are using zmtrigger.pl to ...
