Mocord monitors not generating events

Post by Zolcsi »

Hi!

I have two monitors set up with zoneminder, both set to Mocord mode. What I am trying to achieve is to record everything, but have events showing me when there were some movements. If I understand correctly, Mocord is exactly what I need.
But it looks like it is not generating events for the movements. I can only see "continous" events on the monitors, nothing else. What am I doing wrong?

I set up the motion detection zones, they are set to a very sensitive value, so it should trigger an alarm.

Look at the timeline and see if there are spikes in it.

You may not get "events", proper in Mocord; I didn't see that I did, but my motion detects showed up in the timeline.

I find that the default values for the zones are not sensitive enough. They were designed for 320x240 v4l cameras... not 1920x1080 cameras. Change the units to pixels instead of percent, and change all the minimum area and blob sizes to 5000 or so. (They should default to like 22000 or more). So in other words, go super sensitive, and look at the analysis images and tweak to suit.

Thanks for the answers, but last month I switched to a dedicated NVR :)
