Hi,
I wanna use Zoneminder for a project from holland to purtugal, and for a test a ordered a PV-149 - 4 port video capture card (120FPS) - Realtime recording .
My question is is there a program or device what is supported under linux what makes it's possible to send alerts / events to email and sms????
Thnx in advance,
btw, every project with zoneminder what i implemement for a customer i will donate dedicated amount off money for this project, so if anybody can give more info aobut this too please.

Sending mail when an event is triggered
There are two parts to getting Zoneminder to send mail notifications when there is an event.
* Getting a camera to recognize and trigger an event.
* Getting the mail system to send the event.
First, getting the camera to recognize an event.
* On the Console screen, select a camera and, under the Function column, set the function for that camera to Modect and notice that the color of the “Modectâ€

Hi,
Thnx for you're quick reply, this is very clear what you've explained, but what i missing here is if there is some peace off opensource software or program off whatever you like to call it to convert email into sms, --> or to email it 2 sms, in my case when there is an event or alarm that the system would send an email and an sms to a mobile phone, i read somewhere in the forums there is a possiblity to connect a phone to serial port and with some software to send sms, but how do you let zoneminder interact with this software and send sms, does someone has exeriences with this?
Thnx in advance,
Dave

Ask your mobile operator for a mail>sms gateway service. Most of them offer this service. They give you a virtual e-mail address (like phoneno@operator.com) that you can check ocasionally via a webmail interface, and you get an SMS with the content you can specify whenever an e-mail arrives to this address. You can select if you want the subject, the sender, the first chars of the mail body in your sms...
All you need is to set ZM to send e-mails to this address that you get from the operator.

You can also have a look at what some other folks on the forum have done.

There have certainly been a few implementations others have done.

All open source and no need for SMS gateway service.
Download SME Server 7.3 iso (www.contribs.org) configure SME for server only or gateway, install the required rpms, plug in the phone, login to ZM and setup monitors, filters and your away. Yeh, I know sounds too easy.
My box has been sending SMS with ZM for last 6 months without a problem.
Let me know, I’ll gather all the requires and upload them, and time permitting assist.
My notes that maybe useful for phone hardware.
- Use genuine data cables
- Don’t use non-geniune data cables, (from experience a hit and miss)
Modems working - Australia
- Nokia 6230, 6310, 6210
- Wavecom WMOD2A-G900 (GSM modem works well)
- Motorola V3
Modems not working - Australia
- Nokia 5110 (you need gnokii emulator)
- Any Nokia that uses DKU-5 data cable (no Linux driver)
Hope it helps.
Best

Ubuntu is (I guess) possible or any other distro that uses procmail. Haven’t used deb as yet.
From memory
1. I made a code change in zmfilter.pl ZM_MESSAGE_ADDRESS for the email to be sent as plain text only.
2. procmail rule to pipe the email to striphtml.pl script in smstools. The perl script strips all the email headers.
Not really needed for ZM. Its only there for my personal use to filter MS outlook junk.
3. procmail rule to pipe the email to email2sms script in smstools. The script reformats the email further for smstools to handle correctly.
Then the tmp file is placed in the outgoing spooling smstools directory for processing.
4. I lot of late nights setting up correct procmail rules and permissions.
If you decide Ubuntu and compile ZM and smstools from source at the very least you need email2sms and maybe striphtml.pl scripts from the smstools rpm.
I think if you don’t want go down the SME Server path try Centos 4.6. I almost certain smstools rpm should work.
The ZM rpm might, worth a try on a test box. Startup runlevel will have to be changed. SME runs on 7.
I’ll upload the rpms over the weekend.

Sure you could posts scripts.
I don't use sms personally but have helped to get a few systems going and without the hassle of using procmail. Best thing to do is create a script in perl to use the ZM perl modules and you can pull any information available in ZM to use in the sms through any sms program. You reduce the required configuration and dependencies.
But you can also just use BASH filters if you just want to know what monitor has detected a change in image.
Although I find that using ZM alone and sending alerts without any additional help can be very annoying unless the enviroment the cameras are in are very controled.
Just my two cents.

Cordel, you are absolutely right. I started with the perl script in the wiki but never got around finishing it because of the time constrains, so I went down the procmail path.
It’s something I should revisit and complete - hopefully soon. (my perl is dusty at best)
ZoneMinder zmfilter.pl mod to send pland text email (without multipart/mixed header)
Current code zmfilter.pl
### Create the multipart container
my $mail = MIME::Lite->new (
From => ZM_FROM_EMAIL,
To => ZM_MESSAGE_ADDRESS,
Subject => $subject,
Type => "multipart/mixed"
);
### Add the text message part
$mail->attach (
Type => "TEXT",
Data => $body
);
### Add the attachments
foreach my $attachment ( @attachments )
{
Info( "Attaching '$attachment->{path}\n" );
$mail->attach(
Path => $attachment->{path},
Type => $attachment->{type},
Disposition => "attachment"
);
}
### Send the Message
MIME::Lite->send( "smtp", ZM_EMAIL_HOST, Timeout=>60 );
$mail->send();
replacement code zmfilter.pl
### Create the single part container
my $mail = MIME::Lite->new (
From => ZM_FROM_EMAIL,
To => ZM_MESSAGE_ADDRESS,
Subject => $subject,
Data => $body
);
### Send the Message & scrub headers
$mail->scrub;
MIME::Lite->send( "smtp", ZM_EMAIL_HOST, Timeout=>60 );
$mail->send();
and use this code for ZM_MESSAGE_BODY under options
ZM alarm detected - %EL% secs, %EF%/%EFA% frames, t%EST%/m%ESM%/a%ESA% score.

Ok Confused here
Hi Guys,
I'm a bit confused here, but maybe that is a lack of knowledge, i want to learn more about scripting, but also confused here, because the some uses bash then the other one uses perl, ok what my question will be, can someone give me the scripts and tools and programs to get zoneminder going on with email and sms, i will promise that i'm going to do my best to make rpm's and debs from the l;ates version of zoneminder including these script so it would be a complete package and them provide them to to the public, btw other quick question is it possible to adjust the layout logo's etc of zoneminder? And which files to translate ?
explanation in steps please!
Thnx for you're time.

Thanks but we have people who make rpms and debs already. Certainly no need to recreate the wheel. Also there are plenty of examples in the posts above and the links that are given.
There are plenty of ways to go about it.
