Any idea?

Post by Pecassoo »

Hi,

I am fairly new to zm and have recently spent quite a lot of time experimenting with differing zone settings - no doubt as everyone does
tiny fishing
It has occurred to me that a good way to learn what settings work and what don't would be to feed the same video event through the analysis process while adjusting the zone settings and observing the results.

I tried to search to see if there is already a way to do this but to no avail. (my apologies if there is already a recongised method to do this)

I guess with a camera simulator (if there is such a thing) you could feed with a video file could be fed into zm to monitor.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Cheers

set up a monitor pointed at the URL of the recording you want to use, basically. I'm not finding the details either, but that's the idea.

fastest way to test streams:
ffmpeg -i rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path ./output.mp4 (if terminal only)
ffplay rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path (gui)
find paths on ispydb or in zm hcl
