ZoneMinder Forums

I have investigated and discovered that to access the image via zms I need to add to the parameter list: '&auth=' followed by the string copied out from the image location when I look at the monitor in ZM's control panel. This only works from the same machine (and possibly same browser? I suspect it ...

Thanks for the information. I would like to take this opportunity to say that as and when triggering by events is implemented I think it will be a great feature. Not only would it be good to trigger other cameras but also potentially hardware devices could be thus controlled. For instance an IR ...

I have two questions of the type "can I do this" or "what is the best way to do that" and one regarding zoneminder's behaviour with captured events. Hopefully someone can nudge me in the right directions. External image grab ----------------------- Is there any way to retrieve from zm the image at ...

Yes, you can close that. It was a great help with debugging things and thanks again.

Thanks guys. The problem is now solved. I searched the forum for that last error I had and found the bit about increasing shmmax and shmall. That seemed to sort it. Now on to the rest of the config.

Thanks again for all the help and advice,

Adrian.

Hmm, that's interesting. After stopping and restarting ZM, with just Cordel's camera configured, /var/log/messages showed only: Jun 15 23:43:26 Haar zmc_m3[14977]: INF [Debug Level = 0, Debug Log = <none>] Jun 15 23:43:26 Haar zmc_m3[14977]: INF [Starting Capture] zmdc.log gave: Server starting at ...

Cordel, I added your camera, interestingly zmc -m 2 then seemed to stop without ever having started according to the log (below). Both function and source showed up in orange in the web interface but opening the zone window showed a blank space rather than a picture again. Starting pending process ...

That's OK, right clicking on the image (the one I can see on the camera) and choosing properties gives me: width: 640px, height: 480px. I have set those as the capture width and capture height in the source tab of ZM's monitor dialogue. The image is colour (though it doesn't specify how many bits ...

The camera is colour so I have selected 24-bit colour since it was that or 8-bit greyscale, and width and height are shown as 604px and 480px respectively for both the image given by the camera and the blank space in the ZM interface. Incidentally, if I was to point ZM at a random static image as a ...

I have tried to search the forums, troubleshooting and FAQ and have not found an answer as far as I can tell but do have a feeling that this has probably been encountered before so please forgive me if it's a stupid question. I have just installed zoneminder and have an NC1000 network camera the ...
