It depends on a number if things including image quality, zones you might define, and how the sesativity is set in the zone. I found the motion detection set quite well with the 'out-of-the-box' setting. If you have an issue with detect, you should enable the option "ZM_CREATE_ANALYSIS_IMAGES ...

Thanks, Cordel. I did manage to work out the paths using --prefix=... To duplicate the liveCD install, I see that the zmdbbackup is executed from the /etc/logrotate.d/zm file. What I can't figure out is why that file is not created/installed when I install from the complied version. Do I have to set ...

Hi All, Probably a simple problem, but when ZM is installed from the live cd, I get the directory /var/lib/zm setup with the .pl files and also populated the zmdbbackup, zmdbrestore and the backup sql file that gets created automatically once a week. When I installed from source, I end up with most ...

By the way, for the 1.23.3 "make install", it can't find ffmpeg/avformat.h and swscale.h, although they both exist. How do I specify the location? (They are in /usr/local/include/libavformat/avformat.h and /usr/local/include/libswscale/libswscale.h I had a tough enough time making the 1.24.1 compile ...

I don't know how I missed your post when I searched!

Anyway, it looks like I might need to download the 1.23.3 and stick with it for a while.

I'll post again if I have any 'break throughs'

Thanks,

Joel

Hi, I'm testing a new 1.24.1 install against an existing 1.23.x install. On the new one, I am receiving the following messages (only one test IP cam installed) zmc_m1[7908]: ERR [Invalid JPEG file structure: two SOI markers] zmc_m1[7908]: ERR [Unable to decode jpeg] zmc_m1[7908]: ERR [Failed to ...

I got things working with your suggestion. Thanks!

Just for the record, I used the following option for ffmpeg based on researching a few more issues I hit.

/configure --enable-swscale --enable-gpl


Many thanks,

Joel

Blazer,

Thanks, I'll give it try tomorrow an post back results. I'm assuming the compile will provide all that's required for ZM.

Hi all, I understand the built-in authentication method for Zoneminder, but, after reading the help info, I don't have a good understanding of the "remote" authentication. If I wanted to authenticate users via a front-end webpage on a different server, how can I use the 'remote' method, and are ...

Hi,

I'm making a small mod to the zmvideo script to add the time and date to the Mpg file name.

Could someone suggest how to convert the unix_timestamp string from
'2007-10-04 22:23:00'

to '2007-10-24_22_23_00' in perl ?? I'm definitely not a perl expert.

Thanks in advance,

Joel

Thanks again.

Now I just have to pickup the manual and learn a bit of SQL and perl syntax... :)

Joel

That's exactly what I'd like. I'll take a look at the code and see if I can change it. Thanks for pointing out the approximate line#.

Thanks!

Hi, I'm running a filter, via a cron job once per day, to generate mpg videos for all events that day, that are then copied to another server. Is there a simple way to add the date/time of the event into the filename as the file is generated? IE: "Event-nnnn-yyyymmdd-hhmmss.mpg" as the output file ...
