On my setup /var/www/zm/images is not symlinked and I have not changed the default options. The apache logs indicate that it is looking for the "Zones1.jpg" image in the correct directory, but it does not exist. What process is supposed to be creating this image and when does it occur? During ...

When I go to edit or add a zone, the "Zone Image" is blank. I can move the zone points, but it is very difficult to work with having no reference to the image. My apache log shows [Sat Jul 06 18:04:17 2013] [error] [client 192.168.1.51] File does not exist: /var/www/zm/images/Zones1.jpg, referer ...

SOLVED!!!! After much research... I was able to resolve my issues with the updated zmcontrol.pl script by installing JSON::ANY in CPAN as seen here: http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=17834&p=70152&hilit=json#p70152 I was able to fix the movement only working after first control ...

After more testing, I've got more details. In the previous post I stated that with the old script in place, I could get a single successful movement command. If the control server is already running, I cannot send another successful control command from the web interface without first killing the ...

I just copied the old zmcontrol.pl script to the new install. It works for one movement, when the control server initially starts, but I have to kill the process to get it to work again. Thanks for any help.

I just upgraded to a fresh install of version 1.24.4 on debian lenny. Everything seems to be working fine except PTZ control. It doesn't work on the web interface or directly from zmcontrol.pl, and neither give any errors. I know I have permissions on the port, and I know the baud rate is correct ...

After enough playing around I figured it out!

Of course change the values of "username" and "password" to a cooresponding acount on your system, and there ya go!

Currently I have streaming set up on an app in my iPhone that authenticates using &user=username&pass=password in the url, but this only seems to work when using the nph-zms streaming server. The issue is, I cannot control the cameras using this app, and I'd like to be able to automatically ...

In the misc configuration tab of the monitors, I had set the default view to control because that's what I use most often. When the default view is set up as "control" mode, clicking the streaming image responds the same way it would if I was in "events" mode. (Only digitally zooming on the clicked ...

I just upgraded from 1.23.3 to 1.24.2 and before, when I would click on the streaming image, my PTZ camera would move according to where i clicked. Now when I click the stream in 1.24.2, zoneminder digitally zooms and centers on the stream. Any help on to get this working like it used to? Thanks.

You are the man!!! Thank you so much for your help. For the reference of anyone interested in the topic of this post, the exact command I used to accomplish my goal is:

/usr/lib/zm/bin/zmcontrol.pl --id=2 --command=presetGoto --preset=4

Now I'm off to complete my project!!!

Sorry, I'm using 2 RS-485 cameras with the pelco-D protocol.

With debugging set a level 9, all I get is: 10/15/2009 16:20:15.554061 zmcontrol[4238].INF [Starting control server 2/PelcoD] 10/15/2009 16:20:15.558138 zmcontrol[4241].INF [Control server 2/PelcoD starting at 09/10/15 16:20:15] 10/15/2009 16:20:16.581280 zmcontrol[4241].FAT [Can't access preset=4 ...

Controls from the web interface work fine, but there is no option to schedule controls from the front end. I need to figure out how to move to a preset from the command line so that I can schedule that command as a cron job and have a second cron job return it to the default location shortly ...

I tried the command and it goes through without error, but I didn't get any movement. I'm stumped. If you have any other ideas, let me know, please.
