External triggers

Post by sajithvk »

Hello,
I am new to Zoneminder, and 1.22 is the first version I am using.

I need to start motion detection on my monitor, when an external occurs, and stop on the second trigger. I saw zmtrigger.pl, but got no clue on how to use it. I searched the forums, saw some discussions, but still I am not clear..

So please help me to do this!..

A workaround

Post by sajithvk »

I found a work around for this problem...
Initially set monitor to no alarm mode zmu -m <monitor id> -n

When the external trigger activates, cancel this using zmu -m <monitor id> -c
so on...

No idea how good this work around may be.. What is the correct solution for the problem?
