Thanks for the update - I need to ask...

Is it an African or European swallow?

Keep us posted ... here "down under" interactions between the native animals and introduced species ends in a gladiatorial "thumbs up/thumbs down" decision ... normally thumbs against the indigenous species!

I live in Sydney, Australia. Back in the early days of the colony the English settlers introduced House Sparrows to make it feel more like home - there were flocks of them when I was a kid back in the '70's. These days Starlings and Indian Mynas have taken over, decimating the Sparrow population. I ...

Tenvis IP cameras - I'd rate 6/10. Cheap; but support is lousy. I've managed to get my IP391W-HD working, but not using the "advanced features" of this camera, ie 720p and RTSP streaming. For a $110 IP camera at 640x480 it's a nice build, OK resolution. The case and mount of this camera is excellent ...

PEBKAC! My first attempts to compile Zoneminder had ffmpeg compile time errors (which I have since solved); so I originally configured the make script by: cmake -C zm_conf.cmake -DZM_NO_FFMPEG=ON -DZM_SSL_LIB=openssl . Each attempt to recompile (make/make install) honoured the original ZM_NO_FFMPEG ...

Correct; one of the first things I tried. The ffmpeg libraries have been installed into /usr/local/lib, and per the Wiki instructions I've updated ld.so.conf & reran ldconfig; so I believe the runtime side of things has been taken care of. I'm assuming there's an additional "-D" option I need to ...

I have another open thread about a Tenvis IP camera & acquiring images via http; in the mean time I thought I'd move back to an ffmpeg install issue I had, and my own investigation seems to be going nowhere... I've installed Zoneminder 1.26.5 from source on Centos 6.5. I've downloaded ffmpeg from ...

Very interesting - thanks for the info. It's an interesting choice of minimal hardware and I'd be interested to find out how it performs for real. I thought my install was fairly minimal, I used to run on a power hungry quad core PC (one of the Red Hat Linux variants), but have just reinstalled on a ...

I've just upgraded to ZM 1.26.5 in the hope this would get resolved - unfortunately not. If you're interested in this thread, follow the new one in the ZM 1.26 forum.

A new thread - originally posted in the Zoneminder 1.25 forum. I've just upgraded to 1.26.5 and my problem remains. A new installation of Zoneminder 1.25 (now upgraded to 1.26.5 with ffmpeg turned off) on Centos 6.5. I purchased a Tenvis IP602W and managed to get it working reasonably well using the ...

More information please: How is the camera configured - a dump of the 'general' and 'source' tabs from the monitor window would be helpful. There is an excellent (but long) troubleshooting section on the Wiki - http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Troubleshooting - have you followed any of the ...

A little more information - Monitor for zone 2 is set up in "monitor" for the moment; the running processes I have for "-m 2" are: apache 7806 7778 0 19:43 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/bin/zmc -m 2 I'm assuming I don't need a zma as the monitor isn't actually doing anything. I've set debug (space ...

A new installation of Zoneminder 1.25 on Centos 6.5. I purchased a Tenvis IP602W and managed to get it working reasonably well using the remote HTTP feed (/videostream.cgi?user=User&pwd=Password&resolution=32&rate=14). The resolution is a bit so-so, but I can live with it. Making the assumption the ...

Some feedback on this one. I have not solved the "blue-blips" but have managed to calm down the number of alarms I'm receiving. Not only did I add "Overload Frame Ignore Count: 2" to the zone as suggested by mikb, but I also increased "Alarm frame count:2" on the monitor. Tweaking will continue, I ...

Hi all, After an absense of many years I've decided to reinstall Zoneminder at my new house, and have some annoying difficulties with a wired IP Camera (Ebay special - Tenvis IP602W for abt. $AU80). The picture quality is what I expected for the price, but I'm having some difficulties with zero byte ...
