Browsing here : https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/m ... rtdir=down I don't think there is any local camera code ported. When bsam took over he didn't even own a camera. I don't know the status with abi.
What's the status of v4l on FreeBSD?

back in the day (2007?) when I got my hands dirty porting the ZM linux camera code to FreeBSD ZM (was it 1.23?) with the bktr driver, it was a lot of work. Later when I tried porting 1.25, touching the local camera was out of the question - it was getting harder to understand the code. Now I guess I ...

just get a network camera which works with FreeBSD, lots of work, patience and possibly pray. Webcam?? The chances are small.

This is wrong. pkg != ports.

zm on FreeBSD was never easy. Try to move step by step.

A ok, glad to hear that! This thread talks about 1.25, that's why I asked. Anyway, summer is approaching and normally this means ZM-time for me. Unless things get really heavy with my regular job, I might start hacking this again.

BTW, is there any official FreeBSD port made out of those patches?

Guys are you sure you have read this : viewtopic.php?f=9&t=23298 ?

subscribe to some FreeBSD list, grab my patches, ask questions there, come back here if you need further help.

Would be cool if someone took over the port on FreeBSD. Prefer the native vs virtualized approach. nothing prevents you from building your native zoneminder executables following the instructions and code from this very thread. I don't think that a port is something to expect any time soon. Since I ...

here are the patches : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzIKyGguqkWvU2lxd05jNzlsWEU/view?usp=sharing Any chance of a FreeBSD port update, I prefer the centralized update management that way too. I'm in no rush, I have a working Zoneminder on CentOS Behyve VM. well this seems work for you then, get ...

Thanx for your interest.
I will try to make a set of patches against the official tarball, (to be compiled the traditional way as described in this thread, not FreeBSD-port style), and make it available somehow.

I tried with FreeBSD's mmap, and using a tmpfs fs for shared mem, but it turned out rather ugly. While I got some results via zmc and zms, the whole system was unstable. Reverted back to IPC SHM.

Got my first motion detection. Remarks so far : - all listed above programs/scripts indeed need editing - gcc48 g++48 do *NOT* produce a functioning zmc, - so CLANG/LLVM is a must - some ASM code will not compile with CLANG, hence the hack with zm_image.cpp - some perl scripts (/usr/local/lib/perl5 ...

After hacking zm_image.cpp with : #define ZM_STRIP_SSE 1 and reverting back to CLANG/LLVM I FINALLY MANAGED TO HAVE STREAMING via zmc!!!!!! and also reverting back to IPC SSH mem cmake -C zm_conf.cmake -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON -DHAVE_SENDFILE=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DZM_NO_MMAP=ON . stay ...
