ZoneMinder Forums

Hello all , It has been a long while since I've posted anything on the ZM forum. But I'm back :-) I've been trying over and over again to get the arduino on the road ,but this turned into a project on it's own. On the guidance of a new collegue of mine , I've stumbled upon this nice gizmo : http ...

Should we be worried with zoneminder using mysql ?

Based on article I've read today in CT magazine. It seems to be possible to setup a master/slave combination for mysql. If this should work ,that would actually mean that playing around with backup sets IS possible. (combining this way of working with LVM snaphots on hot pluggable disks, or using ...

This is why I made feature request : Freeze , Pause for overall ZM engine

Only this would enable one to do a restorable backup of the database without shutting ZM down.

Hello ,

Can someone help me on getting an arduino controller running ,in order to use it as a device beiing able to control attached led's for controlling camera activity ?

Thanks in advance,

A nice thing to have would be : ... Freeze , Pause for overall ZM engine ... The purpose to have this ,would be that some functionalities would still be possible , but not writing into the database . This in order to get a lock on the tables so a quick backup of the whole db can be taken (trough LVM ...

Hence the reason why a microcontroller for ZM is needed. (still nothing there ,didn't get it running yet)

updated previous post : mylvmbackup

@Beofres : Yes , I'm aware of the ability to send SMS trough mailproxy. Some of them are 'free' from your provider ,but most of them need to be paid. But the downside is ,that you have to be able to rely on a connected cellphone in case internet connection goes down. There is more chance of the ...

Discovered a better one : gammu !

More activity on the development scene ,and more different phones supported.

If it doesn't work with gnokii ,try with gammu

apt-get install gammu

or install it from source

I gotta give forfeit on this ... I need help from some more experienced people on this. If anyone with arduino experience -and time-,please feel free to shout. The thing I want to accomplish : Send with signals from perl script to the arduino controller so that a specific led hooked with some matrix ...

You need to write safer shutdownscript with checking mechanisms (do process checks before doiing full shutdown). Also work with hardwaretools enabling to do proper remote control (even before OS) => network KVM switch ! example : http://www.freedom9.com/products/product.php?p=9 Warning : Those don't ...

I read in another thread in this forum that the biggest problem on performance is disk IO. This turns me to a RAID 0+1 solution (spanning ,which is mirrored). But I still wanted this to have in an internal or external box ,which is managed by it's internal firmware. (so no drivers needed). So on top ...

Discovered some nice boxes :

SCSI/PATA-PATA RAID 1 Box for 2.5â€

Hi, Does someone knows a box with 2 physical drives inside that work in RAID1 and can be connected in IDE/SATA or SCSI to a pc. The 2 drives however have to be able to be hot pluggable ,so that the drives can be removed as a means of system backup. One box I already found is here : http://www ...
