ZoneMinder Forums

I wanted to check out a video not playing in fast forward, so I tried adding the -r 5 to the encoding command. It looks like 5 FPS is not a valid option for the Mpeg1/2 codec. I had H264 installed, so I changed my command to: ffmpeg -f image2 -i $tmpdir/$MonitorId/img%06d.jpg -vcodec libx264 -r 5 ...

I am open to any solution that would work. Would Nagios be able to check file size? I am concerned about losing my video feed to zoneminder. Does Nagios just watch the service to make sure it is running? I want to know if my camera dies, or the cable accidentally gets pulled out. Losing the signal ...

I really like my Zoneminder setup. But I most likely will never need to go and look at the video I have recorded. I am a little worried that something may go wrong, the camera dies, the wire comes loose, or something crashes Zoneminder. I was thinking about making a little bash script that would ...

Worked great for me. I changed the paths to fit my needs, and it worked great.

It took about 200 megs of Jpegs, and make them an 80 meg vid. I really like the high speed playback too.

Thanks!

I have a single 640x480 camera setup on an Osprey 110 capture card. Installed it with apt-get on a clean Ubuntu 10.4 install. It all worked right away, absolutely awesome! We are recording video of all foot traffic into and out of our "secret server room." No motion detect, just record. I have a ...

Apparently, and I could be wrong here at any time, the mythtv plugin is more for viewing and dealing with events. Which is pretty cool. It also offers a "live" view from within mythtv, but not while viewing other video (music would be possible). To get the PIP to work, you set up the camera as an ...

I have managed to add zoneminder (1.23.3) to my current (ubuntu intrepid) mythtv (0.21) box. I want to push a button on my remote control and bring up a small viewer of my zoneminder camera(s). Lirc is currently working fine with mythtv. I am planning on using irexec to run the command to bring up ...

That udev looks pretty ugly. luckily, I decided to take a look in my motherboard bios. I didn't see any settings that looked right, but decided to upgrade to the newest bios. and 5 reboots later, everyone is coming up in the same spot every time. Updating my motherboard's BIOS fixed my problem ...

Sounds like I have a lot of fun ahead of me.

Thanks again for the help.

Ill play around with it and see if I can get any smarter.

yes is does, and i havent played with it enough to know the exact pattern, but the 350 and the new card are randomly switched i believe.

Ill try plugging the cards into different slots and see if that makes a difference. thank you for the advice. The BT878 card is pci=express, does that mean more problems? I really dont care what order they boot up in or what their /dev/video location is. I just want it to be the same each time I ...

Thank you for taking the time to read my question. I am trying to add zoneminder (1.23.3) to my current mythtv (0.21) box. I have a hauppauge PVR350 and hauppauge PVR500 used by mythtv. I have also added this BT878 chipset card. http://store.bluecherry.net/Provideo_PV_981_p/pv-981.htm All software ...
