ZoneMinder Forums

A suggestion, since I was unable to resolve this issue: I have found out that Ubuntu 8.04 with Zoneminder 1.23.3 is the most stable. You may need to use a torrent to get the old Ubuntu. The BEST (IMHO) Zoneminder package is that by Peter Howard. It is available at ftp://ftp.northern-ridge.com.au ...

I have 5 cameras on mutliple machines running version 1.24.1-2. They all have an identical problem with the fifth camera. They will drop it. It will only display a black screen. If you refresh, restart, or change settings (just going in and hitting save) it will fix itself...temporarily. Has anyone ...

Yes it was working previously.

Running Zoneminder 1.24.1. logs show error: WAR [ Waiting for Capture Daemon ] . Camera sources are black. Any ideas on a solution? THANKS!

All the cameras' sources are black and " WAR [Waiting for Capture Daemon] is the error in the logs. Any ideas on a solution? Running Zoneminder 1.24.1

The screen is blank(black) when you go to view the monitors. They are not capturing anything. Seems like the cameras attempt to start, but they never actually do. Reinstalled zoneminder, apache2, and Mysql. Still no success. Anyone have an idea..or have a place for me to start at. I appreciate any ...

Zoneminder is all of a sudden taking up 94% of disk space and this Table in the database is crashing (best as I can tell). I login to Webmin and the database says: SQL show index from 'Stats' failed : Table './zm/Stats' is marked as crashed and should be repaired How can I repair this? Thanks for ...

OMG! I can't believe I didn't think of that! I guess that is why I asked. I knew there was a simple solution! Thanks guys!

Let's clear the air... The video is currently playing in a new browser window when I click 'download'..which is what I do NOT want it to do. I want it to DOWNLOAD TO DESKTOP. The video is from an Event that I select/ view => then click Video => click Generate Video => Download I hope that clears it ...

When I click the download link it just shows the video playing via a new browser window.

How do I get them to my desktop easily? Then how do I retrieve it from there...I want to EASILY move the video to a flash drive..not have to search for it. I thought there my be a way to add a prompt...or to change the destination of where it generated the movie.

When you hit Download it doesn't prompt to save it anywhere particular...the path it saves to is tucked away in the events folder. I want to save it to the desktop. Does that make sense?

I want to be able to specify where I want my generated videos to go. I don't like searching for them in my events folders, AND you aren't able to remove them from those folders. Is there a way to add a prompt -- "SAVE LOCATION", or to automatically save it to the desktop, rather then the events ...
