dear friend,

please do a little search before asking..
look at the dozen wiki topics and forum postings about new zm 1.25 installs.
like : http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu
Zoneminder @Ubuntu 11 server, ZM 1.25.0 , FFMPEG, 4 Analoge cameras, 1.6ghz P4mobile, 2GB ram, 60GB-HDD.
I also have an (homeseer) domotica system up-and-running with touchscreens,light controllers,weather forecast etc.

Hi,

Code: Select all

mkdir /usr/src/zm1.25
cd /usr/src/zm1.25
wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/z/zoneminder/zoneminder_1.25.0-1_i386.deb
## or your choice of architecture in http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/z/zoneminder/
dpkg --install /usr/src/zm1.25/zoneminder_1.25.0-1_i386.deb
If complains, install the needed packages. Hope it helps,

PacoLM

Now in the dark side, using a commercial system...

I use the surveillance system in my business coaching BH, and whoever wants opinion on the subject
For viewing the videos Zoneminder uses an overlay images jpegs that runs by default in Mozilla Firefox browser. If you use another browser to see your videos it will also work, but with a very low FPS. To resolve this problem, we can use Cambozola which is a small and lightweight java application that solves the problem once.
After this step already done the steps on the command line, now let's move on to the browser. Enter in your browser (I recommend using Firefox) to access your server ZoneMinder.

The first thing I recommend doing is to add a little security.

To do this go to options and check OPT_USE_AUTH. With this you will need to enter username and password (User admin and password admin is the default). If you prefer to change LANG_DEFAULT en.

Since it's your first time out, I think you'd find life a lot easier if you used one of the pre-build packages based on ubuntu. There are several Wiki articles out which explain how to install a complete server including Zoneminder, step by step.

Here is a list of several of them:

again, read the wiki.

orange sources (not red!) means that your monitor is in monitor of "none" mode. it turns green if you set it on modect,morecord or so. Orange isn't bad, you can view your camera's if your source is working!
