Ok so I worked this one out. The issue was that the user 'www-data' which ZM uses when saving images couldnt access the share I needed to remount the share changing the user and/or group to www-data or a group www-data had access to. like: //192.168.1.99/cctv /links/cctv cifs iocharset=utf8 ...

Hello, Can some one point me in the right direction. I am sure it will be in the documentation somewhere but despite my best efforts I have been unable to solve this one. I am running zone minder on Ubuntu. I have a separate CCTV hardrive (500gb). I record continuously as I have not had much luck ...

I think i fixed it. if you go to options > Images and select 'yes' for the CAM_STREAM option it start refreshing real-time for me.

Same problem here, I think this problem is down to the pc not necessary the browser. Why? well my laptop which I have Crome, IE and FF and all of them behave like you describe. My other laptop using IE and FF works fine. I did have a problem with youtube on Crome and to fix it I had to install some ...

Well ignore my last post, it seems that it is now working. I did a full system restart and it started working. Weird really as I did try restarting the zoneminder demon. But hay!

Thanks for all the support anyway guys.

Hey guys, Im switching my dvt cameras over to IP and I was wondering if anyone has used http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.29918 camera with Zoneminder. I presume it works as the wiki says: For Network Cams to work they need to be able to stream MJPEG without the requirement of activex ...

Hey guys, thanks for the response,

Coke. Both host and guest are ubuntu 9.10, Do you know how i can go about achieving this?

Whatboy, Ideally I dont want to spend cash.

Sorry if there is a post about this already but I cant find any answer. I have started to virtualise my server but ran into a problem with zone minder. Im using ubuntu 9.10 host and guest via virtualbox with a generic bttv pci card and 4 bnc cameras. My problem is that the guest can not access the ...
