Great idéa and Phil, you already have one, sort of. When i saw that you got a Elphel camera a couple of years ago i hoped that it eventually would lead to something like this, maybe not a full 360 degree but something that could make use of a Megapixel-camera to cover larger areas without loosing to ...

The Swedish police together with with some other organisations has set up a document with guidelines for cctv surveillance systems. Some parts of the document is only of interest to Swedes since it covers Swedish law. But other parts might be of use to anyone, like the test-chart that is useful for ...

Interesting project. I guess if you want to go with zoneminder, a setup with several strategically placed alarmzones that triggers and/or direct the "water-canon" might be easiest, not very accurate unless you have alot of zones. alt2 is a 10 centimeter (or so) high electric fence around the pond ...

Yes it would be useful, but i guess you delete old events to make place for new ones, a trashbin funktion still need to store the events somewhere, so let the PurgeWhenFull filter do the job of deleting events when needed and adjust size of storage by adding new disks to control how long events are ...

Good idéa, rerun a set of events (perhaps filtered to show only one preset-position from a PTZ) but with a new alarmzone that only covers a small area instead of the alarmzones used for triggering the event in the first place. It would be nice to have for instance if you want to see when a ...

Why bother with packaging at all? a sh-script that helps a new user with the settings in configure and runs zmconfig.pl , creates or upgrades the db and so on would be great or you could change approach entirely, start the installation by copying ZoneMinder to the webfolder it will be running from ...

If you are able to choose httpd-server try plain o'l apache (not apache2) with php4 from debian stable this is not a complete guide but hope you will get some hints I got it working after alot of trial and error so i'm not sure what did the trick, what i did was (after taking a backup ) changed ...

There migh be a very very crude but simple method to solve this. without researching any fact i'll throw you a plausible solution. :) If you change the criteria to that the weel hasn't "rested" for 1 1/2 days or something like that, it might be possible to set up a filter-rule that calls for your ...

Adding realtime reactions to events in a more generic way is on the to-do list by the way. Phil Great! Then it will be a bit easier to make a track/zoom feature via alarmzones, i only have to split a image into lets say 3x3 zones, each one triggering a gotopreset that is zoomed in at the triggering ...

I forgot to mention, if the run command was set from within the zone-edit it would be clear that the command was triggered by that zone

I have not tried that and i am really ashmed for that, for some reason i have had the impression that filters are run at a certain interval and would not trigger the command when the alarm is triggered but some time after.

oh right i stand corrected i am sorry. You say you have zm run the tour, create a different alarm event name for each predet so it can be searched?? James Yes, well, sort of, actully we use a mix of ZoneMinder and Motion. mostly Zoneminder since it is more presentation-oriented and has great ...

The sync issues of getting a ptz camera on tour to look for movement in a particular location after the event are immense. That is the easy part, just name the "reason" for the event "preset 1" for preset 1 and so on, and then filter the events on that, you would need a mask that cover the entire ...

Yes, exactly - it is the point. Store everything, zoom in later. Andrey Yes! i do not know alot about how other people use camera-surveilllance but i guess most people do not look at the cameras all the time, they like me do check events. witch bring us back to another topic, the ability to rerun ...
