I changed focus slightly, trying instead to use Monocle (https://monoclecam.com/) which is a hosted service that converts an RTSP stream in order to display it on an Amazon Echo. I used ffserver to convert the mjpeg stream from ZoneMinder to an h.264 rtsp stream, but it's been horribly flaky. I ...

This may be a very unhelpful reply and I may have missed the entire point of what you are trying to do As I said in the first sentence of my first post: "I would like to view my ZoneMinder cameras through an Amazon Echo Spot (or Echo Show)." The part that may be missing from that statement is that ...

Just a quick update that I've been trying (mostly failing) to get ffserver & ffmpeg to create an RTSP stream of ZM's mjpeg stream. I've been trying to view this with VLC, which only gives me a blank/black screen. Until I can view the feed with VLC, there's no point in doing any of the Alexa-specific ...

I would like to view my ZoneMinder cameras through an Amazon Echo Spot (or Echo Show). This requires providing an H.264 stream with RTSP or RTP protocol. You can find details of Amazon's requirements here: https://developer.amazon.com/docs/smarthome/build-smart-home-camera-skills.html There is a ...

I use NewRelic to monitor servers, both professional for work and the free version for my home ubuntu box running zoneminder. Does anyone else use NewRelic and is there anything other than the default server install which you use or installed? I don't believe there is any PERL plugin for NewRelic ...

This problem still exists in 1.30, although the code has now been moved into the Filter.pm source script. I've been running my fix for years now (I created this thread 6 years ago!!!). Should I just check this into github myself? I haven't directly contributed to the source before so I'm a bit ...

I use "Date/Time" "greater than or equal to" "-1 hour" and that has always worked well for me. Separately the Events table has a column for Emailed so you could use SQL to mark all past ones as emailed. I suspect your filter for "NOW() should have stopped the emails so your system may already have ...

I just searched these forums & the wiki for "Huisun" and didn't find anything which surprised me given the popularity on ipcamtalk. Has anyone here used one with ZoneMinder? If so, any tips or comments? They have a couple PTZ cameras which are incredibly attractive for the price and I'm about to ...

I'd like to ask the developer gods among us for help in understanding the interaction between the stream.php web source file and zms. I ask because although my zoneminder system has generally been running fine for about 7 years, I now am unable to view streaming events and instead see the error ...

Ok I did it!!! Not so hard, you need all the codecs on the server including h264, then we need to select in source ffmpeg and in source path use rtsp://admin:admin@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:554/11 in where admin:admin ar user and passwd. Then and very important is to set width and height to 704 and 576, if ...

Don't limit the fps. mastertheknife mastertheknife, would you please elaborate on this statement? I've always assumed that lowering the fps would help ZoneMinder and reduce the changes of big gaps in my recordings. I think this still makes sense for use with a capture card or with simple jpeg ...

OK, now we're getting somewhere. I found a discussion in another thread about the use of RGB24 vs. BRG24 ( http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=18497 ) and that RGB24 isn't supported by BT878 chips on little endian machines. Sure enough, running zmu -d -q -v shows that I have BT878 ...

I'm back. Are you sick of me yet? The V4L1 vs. V4L2 issue seems irrelevant. I tracked the source back to find the V4L1 vs. V4L2 is set in the monitor configuration. Mine was simply still V4L1 because that's what it was when I first configured my monitors several years ago. I did try changing it to ...

I want to add some information here since this thread also helped me. For starters, Unbuntu has an apache2 configuration file in /etc/apache2/conf.d named javascript-common.conf. This creates an alias from /javascript to /usr/share/javascript. So when you see any web page referencing something at ...
