The point is in a fresh install there should not be anything in the database to cause a duplicate entry. That error suggests you already have tables and entries in the database. I can guarantee you this was a fresh install. I've tried it several times testing with different non-existing DB names ...

So I take that you are trying to update an installation? The update files are meant to be invoked by zmupdate.pl and not run by hand as documented in the README under the heading Upgrading. No, not updating an installation. Perhaps I should've explained a little further. :) I originally got that ...

Hi, Before I go on let me just say that I followed the rules, did several searches on the subject here, checked the patches section of the Wiki and didn't find anything about this. So if I "missed the memo" somewhere here or on the Wiki on this, please forgive me. It appears (at least on my Centos ...

Currently this is not possible. However it is something I am looking into. I _think_ that ffmpeg can capture from rtsp sources but I have not got it to work reliably yet. If I can get ffmpeg to do it, then I should be able to apply the same thing to ZM. Hi there, I've got the exact same issue. I ...

Where does this auth hex-value in the zms URL come from? :? Can I invoke some command that gets me the auth param value that I can use in subsequent calls to zms/nph-zms? :) I did a bit of research into this and finally figured out how to construct this auth param in the zms URL. Since no one else ...

In linux, "load" is more than just cpu. If you look at the top line in "top" you will see that the load average is very close to the ZM load. Also, if you have a multi threaded or duel core cpu, you can go over %100 of cpu. Thanks Lee, no sooner than I'd posted this I located a couple of FAQ pages ...

Hi, I'm very sorry if this has already been answered, I did a search in forums/faqs/readme and didn't see anything on it. I have a need to invoke the streaming server (zms) programatically on behalf of a user that's already logged into my own webapp. I understand that when a user logs into ZM's ...

Hi, I have ZM running normally with 2 cameras on the following system: Dell Dimension E520: Intel® Core™2 Duo E4300 (1.8GHz, 800 FSB) 2Gig RAM, 200 GB SATA HD ipcs -l: ------ Shared Memory Limits -------- max number of segments = 4096 max seg size (kbytes) = 131072 max total shared memory (kbytes) = ...

Oh man, once again... stupid me! :oops: Of course, it was a permission problem. I was running as my own user and the entire ZM system is operating under the machine's apache user. My user is in the sudoers file so using sudo in front of the same command did the trick. I now get: Id Func State ...

Oh, now I see. My apologies. I did not read that section very carefully. The "command" text entry box is for the control script, and it's in that control script where all the camera-specific commands are stored.

Thank you!

In the Control Capabilities window I don't see any options to enter the specific URI command for the various camera PTZ movements. For example, my Toshiba IK-WB15A IP camera provides the following API for moving its PTZ controls: http://<camera_ip>/api/pantiltapi.cgi?cont_2=<value>[&id=<value>] The ...

Hi, First let me congratulate you on creating ZoneMinder. It's an excellent and very useful piece of software. In fact I've already made a donation to the project. Barring a minor MySQL syntax issue which I fixed, I built and installed it with relative ease. I've got monitors defined for 2 remote ...
