Special Use Scenario: Zoneminder and an old Swan analog DVR

Post by kennbr34 »

So they say a picture is worth a thousand words...

I have this from the TV-Out of the analog DVR going into my capture card on the PC running ZoneMinder, and have setup these zones on the three cameras I have.

I've figured out that I can filter out according to which zone was triggered by using the "Notes" field and setting to "Motion: *zone*" but I'm wondering if there's way to match these with wild cards?

So for example, both my back and front porch zone names have "porch" in the zone, could I filter according to "*Porch*" in order to match events that match both "BackPorch" and "Porch/Walk"?

I'd like to be able to setup a "special" email alert because I've kind of started to tune them out with all the events that get alerted on.
