So.. I was curious enough about the new skin that I installed ubuntu 14.04 in a VM. Unfortunately ZM 1.27.0 is not in the repos yet so I had to build zoneminder from source. This was a little bit painful mainly due to being unfamiliar with how Apache 2.4.7 config works, specifically with how ...

I am running 1.25.0 on ubuntu 12.04 and before I attempt to upgrade, mainly for an updated look, it would be interesting to see what the new skin looks like. Anybody have some screenshots?

Thanks!

Here is a quick and easy script to change the video scale. It is ideal for usage with the montage view. I have a 30" monitor and a 19" monitor connected, so depending on what I am doing in my workspace, I may want all 8 camera's or a couple cameras displayed on either of the monitors. There is a ...

So, I have been trying to figure out why zmaudit.pl is taking more than 8 hours to complete. Apparently the biggest hold up is on navigating the files in the directory tree. A simple test script shows some disappointing time usage on the disk. Is this normal? #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings ...

zmaudit.pl is taking a VERY long time to complete. I have 8 cameras and up to 32,000 files in each events/cam# directory. Please let me know what info is needed to help improve this sluggishness. While zmaudit.pl is running, my system is basically unusable due to the IO usage. Everytime I reboot ...

Hmmm... not sure about the chipset change.. I just went to geeks.com and yeah... they seem to have the same product ID but with a different chip set now... that seems to be a bit deceptive on their part. Bad geeks!! I know it was very simple to setup with the philips saa7134 chipset, I can't speak ...

Unfortunately, after about 3 weeks of use one of the cards has suddenly dropped to 3FPS per port (down from ~30-40FPS per port) and hangs my system when ZM is running (buffer errors and such in the logs). This started after a weather change involving high temperatures (my server is in the garage ...

... How do you like it? was it easy to configure? Well, the WS-DSR404 is a very cheap card, but it's FPS (30-40FPS per port x 4 ports) blows away what I was getting on my original single chip TW cards. I am very happy with the cards (I have 2 of them). They were a breeze to set up despite not ...

It's an old issue; the very bottom of my first post in this thread noted the same thing awhile back: http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=37916#37916 Though I was never completely certain if I was the only one who experienced it. :) Ahh interesting. I thought I was the only one also ...

First, let me just say, ZM is really really nice!! Especially for the price! I was previously using a Windows only software from Q-See on a couple of TW6800 (techwell) based cards. Since I have grown to favor Linux over Windows, I bought a couple of WS-DSR404 cards based on the saa7134 chipset from ...
