Zmfilter not working ??

[c0mputerking]

This is mostly just a bump from my last post

I have a filter setup to upload, email, and message me if frames are greater than or equal to 1. Also have camera set to motion detection and it works I move around and it goes into alarm state see output of /var/log/messages.

Code: Select all

I think zmfilter is bombing out before it can do anything. Try turning off email and ftp and see if the errors go away. If they don't then you should probably recheck all config items. If they do go away t
hen

• (1) try turning on email by itself.
  (2) try turning on ftp by itself.

And see which (or both) create the error, this will help you track down the problem.

Also check the values you have entered for smtp and ftp (in options) are valid.

And, it could be a permissions problem. Check that the zmfilter process can read the event files (pictures) and can write to the temporary directory.

Hope this helps.
