Like an fool, I thought this would be simple or that idiot-proof instructions would be available somewhere by now (Ubuntu Server 12.04 64). I tried following the directions here adjusting for B3 to no avail. I was about to try the puppet script when I realized it was for fresh install only. As a ...

If you find a solution to this issue, please post it. I'm in a similar situation. My webcam used to work in ZM until I upgraded both ZM and Ubuntu. My webcam continues to work in Cheese and another webcam program. I sure will, but with no suggestions forthcoming here, I'm afraid I'm out of idea's ...

I have been running v1.25.0 of ZoneMinder with 5 connected IP cams (D-Link DCS910's) without a problem for several months now. (Running on Ubuntu [headless] Server: 3.2.0-37-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 24 15:28:10 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux according to uname -a ) I recently came ...

@bb99 - Thank you so much for this information! I will experiment with this option now to see if I can use it to solve my problem. For the record, this particular camera is running at 5fps. I assume that setting it to 5 frames will result in 1 second of "ignore" time which should be adequate, but I ...

What exactly does that do? The wiki omits that option completely (See here)

I tried setting this value from 0 to 4, but it does not appear to have made any difference?

Hi, I have a DCS-920 at the far end of my wi-fi range and the signal is dropped several times a day (sometimes several times an HOUR depending on the weather) then resumed. This doesn't present a problem, however, every time this happens I get an alarm frame generated on the timeline that I would ...

Do you really think authentication is the issue here? Given that with a username and password provided, ZM has no trouble displaying the images from the camera. Surely if I'm able to see the feed from the camera via ZM, the authentication has been successful? What I did notice when I had supplied ...

Might help: http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=15381&hilit=DCS+920 Seems to me turning the login off on the camera fixed the 900's, 910's and 920's. Also check your path against these. OK, I gave that a try, but no joy. In fact I have the OPPOSITE problem of the user who posted ...

Dumb question, could you access the web server of this cameras from the same computer where you have ZM installed? Yes I can, no problems there. Related: What I have noticed is at night when all is "black" the error is somewhat less frequent (but still present). During the day, the error message is ...

I'm sorry to report that after changes made as per your recommendation above, the problem persists. I'm still getting: Jan 4 18:45:10 server zmwatch[25026]: INF [Restarting capture daemon for Camera-2, time since last capture 7 seconds (1325677510-1325677503)] Jan 4 18:45:10 server zmdc[24860]: INF ...

Could you post the settings of your buffers?. Certainly, they are: Image Buffer Size (frames): 40 Warmup Frames: 25 Pre Event Image Count: 10 Post Event Image Count: 10 Stream Replay Image Buffer: 1000 Alarm Frame Count: 1 And in case it's relevant, my shared memory settings in sysctl.conf kernel ...

Hi All, Now that I'm all googled out and a million and one tinkerings have proven fruitless, my last resort is to consult you directly because I feel I'm all out of idea's now. - ZoneMinder Version: v1.24.4 - Linux server 3.0.0-14-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 20:34:47 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 ...
