cameras mounts to show vibration

Post by luxnoob »

looking for hardware recomend for affordable outdoor security

something that mounts in such a way to to show the vibration of door slams.


also are the mics in most cams pretty good or some better than others ?

That might work with the microphones. Interesting idea. I don't know if you'd see false alerts.

Arduino is always an option. https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Arduino Some cameras have IO connectors you can tie into. Or you can use zmtrigger.


This is probably a niche use case, so I don't know how many folks have done anything similar.
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
