configure: error: zm requires PHP::Serialization

Zoneminder really doesn't like Lucid. I downloaded the latest version of ZM, ran ./configure, and was told: configure: error: zm requires PHP::Serialization I searched, and it told me to: $ sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell install PHP::Serialization This gives the output: CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.20 ...

A warning to others - the problem is that when upgrading to a new Ubuntu distribution, by default it overwrites certain configuration files. After going through all initial setup I originally did in 8.10, I found the problem: /etc/sysctl.conf needed the following lines added back in: kernel.shmall ...

ZM not starting processes to monitor cameras

I've had zm working fine on my Ubuntu 8.10 64bit system, but today I upgraded to 9.10 and hit a multitude of problems. After fixing a compilation error, I installed the package but was unable to start it using the script in scripts/zm. I used my old zoneminder script in /etc/init.d/zoneminder to ...

Can only view live cameras from localhost

I recently tried to upgrade to ZM 1.24.2, and this failed, for various reasons. I went back to 1.23.3 which has been working well for me for some time. I am using Ubuntu 8.10 on an amd64 machine, and am installing the zoneminder package from apt-get. The problem now is that I can only view live ...

Thanks - I already have ZM_CREATE_ANALYSIS_IMAGES and ZM_RECORD_EVENT_STATS switched on. I was previously unable to find the "Stats" tab because it is not a tab but a link. I have located it now.

Thanks for the advice. I have spent a long time playing with settings, but still don't have a working setup. It would help if I could see the output of the analyser - a number of changed/filtered pixels or blob count, or perhaps even the processed image. That would help me choose good values. I'll ...

ZM captures light changes but not people

I recently changed from Motion (http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/WebHome) to ZoneMinder due to the user interface of the latter. However, ZoneMinder captures just about every light changes, but does not catch the movement of people at all. I have not seen it capture anyone unless I use ...
