ZoneMinder Forums

can someone name me just 1 usb camera thats going to work by default on any linux/bsd distribution with zoneminder in the ports..?

thanks

up?... just a few words folks

Hi all, i have read numerous post around the forum and I cant quite figure out my problem. So the thing is that i want to use zoneminder with any "supported" USB camera. Tryed and compiled on latest Ubuntu/Fedora/CentOS from ports, everything installs and runs perfectly, just that theres a problem ...

jo bsam, just ran your port, forgot to add mysql-server but otherwise compiled successfully on 8.2-current. After building and installing mysql-s51, ran it and got this: Starting zm. Bareword "ZM_USE_DEEP_STORAGE" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1 ...

anyway, is there any quality windows software-zoneminder alternatives even available.. wtf?:), maybe found 2 kinda close applications, none as good as zoneminder thats open-source?

ive spend 10hours porting this port to 8.0, it kinda works now, but none of my cameras is supported by any of the fbsd usb drivers.. so yeah, i gotta write drivers, yuhey.. or ill just skip the coding and go straight to installing a w2k3 server on my esxi host :).. i guess the work will be then done ...

i understand the trouble of maintaining this port, there are just too many depending ports.. updating suxs.. you say there are alternatives, are there? im just looking for a simple web ui of my local usb(10$) cameras, login page, a view of all cameras and a recording function.. ps^2: to anybody else ...

hi guys, awaking a 2-year old thread.. just wanted to ask hows the port update coming? tryed to build this one on the 8.0, run into 10 problems, now got it kinda running, but there are still so many bugs and errors.. why isnt that port being updated by somebody from the crew? any intel?.. thanks ...
