ZoneMinder Forums

Yum update works normally on Fedora, it's just the added programs that aren't a part of the standard fedora package that seem to cause me problems. Zoneminder would work with this if only the link to the RPM's site was working (I think)!

oh b*gger
Is there any way I can remove zoneminder and upgrade to fc6, then reload it?

Any news on this new yum update site yet? Trying to upgrade my fc3 to fc5 or fc6 - but cannot find baseurl report comes up.
Many thanks

Yes I agree - just I was talking about the 12V twin wire from the transformer to the camera - and should have also pointed out NOT mains wires. What I was trying to prevent was a mains transformer being located anywhere outside.

Just to add a few notes after trying various places with this camera. Interference is the main problem - the receiver has an infinitely variable knob which allows it to be tuned to the camera frequency. This is a good idea. However as mentioned in my last post, any interference means unwanted modect ...

Thanks Phil works fine now - using older Perl setting.

I'm finding the whole program very cool, trying to set up the camera to detect only what I want will be my next challenge....!

I set both the ZM_EMAIL_ADDRESS field and the ZM_MESSAGE_ADDRESS to an email adress which worked. I then changed the ZM_MESSAGE_ADDRESS to email a different address, however both emails are still being sent to the orginal address. Could anyone tell me if there is a way to alter this?

Hi Flash I am just testing a small wireless (or wired) camera I bought on ebay recently. Just got it working with Zoneminder this week. It's a cheap option, granted, but is pretty neat in that it has inbuild IR LED's which seem to be bright enough for local coverage. Check out the link.. http://cgi ...

:) :) :) :) :) I realised after posting that MIME::Lite was the next problem, just got a bit excited! Had trouble with the MIME::Lite module with yum, so did a tar.gz instead. Email & FTP both working very well now. Lots to learn, I think it's been the equivalent of 1 term at college for my brain :P ...

Ok, now zmfilter.log has crashed with the following error message: Starting pending process, zmfilter.pl 'zmfilter.pl' started at 06/01/16 20:41:29 'zmfilter.pl' starting at 06/01/16 20:41:29, pid = 12949 Can't locate MIME/Lite.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi ...

Thank you. Also yum installed:

IO-Zlib
Archive-Tar
Archive-Zip

Now zmdc.log shows zmfilter.log starts ok. So far has not yet produced a zmfilter.log file.

Thanks. Set up a filter, and now have an error in zmdc.log: 'zmfilter.pl' starting at 06/01/16 18:38:41, pid = 11169 Can't locate Compress/Zlib.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib ...

Yes, was tooo simple to be easy for me! Next problems I am having are email & FTP uploading, but the alert system is working. Need to see what's going on here. zmfilter.log file makes no mention of even trying to send anything yet, just shows scanning for events every so often. Nearly there though ...

It's finally working! Basically was the brightness etc - needed to be set to 40000! I had been trying 10, 5, etc. Thanks very much for all your help, I have learnt a lot about the whole system & linux.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
