ZoneMinder Forums

So what you are saying richw is that ACTI camera do not support ffmpeg, which zm uses for rtsp? No, ffmpeg is used for decoding the video streams from the camera (If I understand correctly) If you want to use a ACTI camera with Zoneminder the only way (currently) is to use 1.24 RC and the RTSP ...

You can only use RTSP with the ACTI camera's (ATM). In December as ACTI were suppose to be releasing a firmware that allowed zm to access a mpeg4 stream direct (IIRC) - but an updated was released in November with no such feature. hossa1c; I'd suggest changing the cat5 cable first incase its faulty ...

I've just changed my base OS for my Zoneminder installer from CentOS to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (32bit). ffmpeg (15660) is complied using --enable-swscale --enable-gpl --enable-shared. Zoneminder 1.24 2678 is complied using --with-webdir=/var/www/zm/ --with-cgidir=/usr/lib/cgi-bin/ --with-webuser=www-data ...

Just thought I'd post an update I've just complied and installed ZoneMinder-1.24.0-rc1-2668 and I can now set Zones. Thanks!

I will sort out a donation shortly!

Thanks for replying, I've tired Mootools 1.1 and 1.2.

The log's don't show anything (I've checked the /tmp/zm* ones, /var/log/messages and the apache error_log) and add to that I'm not a PHP coder...

I'll take a look and see if I can find anything.

I've tired clicking every corner again and it's staying green.

Do you know if there are any dependencies for this to work?

Yes me again :roll: I can't define the size of my camera zone's. The wiki suggests clicking on the image (clicking anywhere doesn't seem to do anything) and it also suggests being able to edit them below the image, I just get "Point X Y Action Point X Y Action" with the save and cancel buttons below ...

What version did you use during development of 1.24.x ?

I saw on the ubuntu wiki about ffmpeg version after 15261 are very unstable (which is the version I've been using).

Thanks for taking time to explain it. It's annoying to know that VLC can pull a near prefect (apart from the slightly poor picture quality) stream from the camera and ffmpeg can't. I think I need to have a play with ffmpeg versions. When I return to getting ZM working with this camera I'll post some ...

It seem's to be working, I did notice an error about shared memory and thread I read mentioned about a reboot, 1 reboot later and it was working. The first time I open the window there seems a big delay (10+ seconds) the 2nd time it seems to be quicker. I'm still having problems with 'corrupt ...

Graphics glitches fixed by using a constant bit rate.

Still no luck with 1280x1024 or 1280x720

Good news: It works! I did have to turn off the firewall to get the camera working (not experimented which ports need to be open yet) Bad news: I've had to turn the FPS down from the camera, I keep getting the picture stuck with a multicoloured outline of the moving object - it doesn't happen so ...

I did set it up manually but I've just tired a preset to see if that would make any difference. The good news is now I get another error message! from /var/log/messages: Sep 29 14:31:31 bbcamtest zmdc[5892]: INF ['zmc -m 1' started at 08/09/29 14:31:31] Sep 29 14:31:31 bbcamtest zmdc[3348]: INF ...

It sound's like you have installed ffmpeg with yum at some point and you have complied a new version and installed it over the top. I'd goto the ffmpeg directory you downloaded it to, do a "make uninstall" & "make uninstall-libs", do 'yum remove ffmpeg' and then look in the "tips and tricks" forum ...
