Hi all,
I'm after a recommendation on a product that can work with zoneminder (x10?) that is a recessed door sensor, ie if a door is opened it sets off an alarm to record & sets off a physical alarm.


Cheers

Hi Cordel, cheers for the reply.
zmu works fine

I need to keep a realtime recording of the camera,
Then I also need to capture one frame every minute and put that on a website.

This works but we there are serious performance issues, mainly due to the fact that we require to record at realtime for security and one frame per minute for general users. Defining two sources locks up the cpu and delays recording, ie the timer on the source will show that it's capturing every ...

Hi all, I'm looking to just use zoneminder to do a single capture from a camera every minute. Is there a command I can run with cron to achieve this? Or a full reference to what exactly each zm command does?

The application in in a student radio station and the cable length will be very short.

Thanks for the reply, I'd love to use axis cameras but we have no budget for them. It's going to have to be IPless cameras, ie those over usb.

I also need something that is wall/ceiling mountable or easy to mod to make this so ...

Hi all, firstly sorry for the late reply but the whole project got put back a bit and we did leave zoneminder since we're having to run it under vmware server and there were performance issues. Anyway now back on the case. At each store we have four cameras and with regards regions there currently ...
