I just received a new $22 chinese h264 ip poe cam from aliexpress @ http://www.aliexpress.com/item/1280-960P-IP-camera-ONVIF-P2P-Array-camera-Outdoor-waterproof-with-IR-CUT-Night-Vision-Security/32345770947.html . I was able to configure it and use either h264 stream, with any of the 4 available ...

I think pressing "shift h" will hide the threads in htop.

Yes, we can. I realize that this was a difficult question because the solution was not well documented, or atleast not easy for me to find. Much digging, testing, and building from source led me to https://github.com/ZoneMinder/ZoneMinder/commit/04b8ecf0a70fc5deabe1d76da22e8c229cfb7926 line 435. You ...

I have been testing 1.29 on ubuntu 15 for a couple weeks and I really like it. Thanks guys. The recent release has inspired me to start rebuilding my old app and I am experimenting with different video formats for streaming to determine best quality vs bandwidth vs server load. As of a couple days ...

When trying the mp4 stream and monitoring it in Charles proxy, I notice that the response headers show application/mp4 and not video/mp4 just as the video immediately fails.

I have been trying different mpeg live stream formats such as swf, flv, ogg, webm, and mp4. Flv works fine when I use a flv streamer in my air app, and the others work in the browser, except for mp4. For reference, I am able to generate mp4 videos from events and view them in my browser(Firefox ...

Does that force zoneminder to initiate a tcp connection or does it tell the ip cam to send data in tcp?

I am trying to guess here, but do you mean that you want zoneminder to stop reading the ip cam video feed if nobody is actively using the gui front end and viewing the live feed?

As the title implies, I am curious about the live steam option that people prefer, mjpeg or mpeg. I have been successfully testing both options on my new system. As most already know, mjpeg uses less cpu and more bandwidth, while mpeg uses less bandwidth and more cpu, when comparing streams of ...

I am curious why there would be multiple pids per process. I am not a linux expert, so maybe that is normal for the different. Just found out that is an htop thing, showing threads per process. Pressing shift h will hide the threads. But the cpu usage is still the same, of course. All 3 options ...

The following three source types are interchangeable: - ffmpeg - libvlc - remote/rtsp Generally, you should always use ffmpeg as it is the most compatible and most efficient. Note that you will get a performance boost if you change to 32bit colorspace. Thanks for the tip about the 32bit colorspace ...

After trying out version 1.29 on ubuntu 15.10, after following instructions https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Server_15.10_64-bit_with_Zoneminder_1.28.1_the_easy_way and https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Server_15.04_or_15.10_64-bit_with_Zoneminder_1.29.0_the_easy_way , I was able to get my old ...

I was poking around with the new api to see what info is exposed, specifically ZM_PATH_ZMS, because I am thinking about rebuilding my app. I created a regular user that does not have admin access by setting system to "none," along with the other options set to "view." When visiting my zoneminder ...

I just tried the old android app and old custom skin in a new install using ubuntu 15.10 and zoneminder 1.29 and it works, surprisingly. Live streaming 13 mjpeg streams. Maybe someday I will find my old code and rebuild the app. And sorry for never releasing my ios version, ran out of time to get it ...

I just had the same problem, but after reading a few posts and following some links, I found the info that worked for me. I used ffmpeg as the source type, and appended ?tcp to the end of my rtsp url like so :
