A major bug in Zoneminder is demonstrated by zmtrigger.pl.\
The zmtrigger.pl resets often and misses the events; it was determined that recompiling the program without mmap solves this.

Perhaps. I will investigate.

But this is a major bug.

I am glad to see that someone figured this one out.

I still consider this problem a MAJOR BUG in Zoneminder.

That is a very good point.

I may have some bug fixes that I would like to present - but I don't know where and how.

Still observing the behaviour of this bug. When I log into the port 6802, the telnet session dies after +/- 10 minutes. After a few retries, the system refuses to accept a new login... Because of this problem my Zoneminder is missing major events - the TCP server probably crashes when the cameras ...

Why is zmtrigger exiting??

I see
'zmtrigger.pl' exited abnormally, exit status 9
often.

Same here,

when I connect to the server with telnet, port 6802, it hangs after several minutes, the message is "Connection closed by foreign host."
Is there a solution to this??

I like the "Barking Dog Alarm" idea and would like to incorporate into my rather large and complex system.
Is it fully operational and does it work reliably on a machine that is not necessarily ZM server - just displaying the streams??
If there are any issues, what are they??

Actually, I have found an interesting solution (hack). I have noticed that the automatic motion-activated outdoor halogen lamps ($35) do a decent job detecting motion and do not respond to moving tree shadows, video artifacts, Etc.. Also, the sensor works even during the day when the lights don't ...

AXIS 211A, in an external enclosure. When it is getting dark, Zoneminder shows alarm for an hour or so. It seems to trigger on some compression artifact - the picture shows shimmering grains when it its getting dark. Tried both MJPEG and MPEG 4 - same outcome. I could possibly detune the alarm ...

H.264 works now.

The camera must be set to 800x600 in its firmware.
Zoneminder set to Ffmpeg with the address "rtsp://user:pass@<xx.xx.xx.xx>/axis-media/media.amp"
Then Zoneminder MUST be restarted.
Thanks everyone for help. Agustine Lehecka

Dude, you may be right about H.264... I was just trying to expand the horizons as the Zoneminder Wiki is heiniously inadequate describing the AXIS situation.. I have contacted AXIS about this and will post their view. Until then, I will try to set up MJPEG 800x600 and will post any results whatever ...

Thanks for your response. The compurer is an 8-core high end server with 16 Gig of memory (unnecessary).. I will check shmmax and shmall just to be sure...
I am wondering if Zoneminder can do hi-res streams, as the Zoneminder Axis Wiki is only talking about MJPEG..

OK, the "rtsp://user:pass@<xx.xx.xx.xx>/axis-media/media.3gp" works but only for 640x480. 640x480 must be also specified in the camera. I still can't get 800x600 though.

Has anybody figured out how to set up AXIS M1113 for H.264 streaming in the highest resolution?? I have it running in ffmpeg using source path "rtsp://user:pass@<xx.xx.xx.xx>/axis-media/media.3gp" but currently, it only works with 640x480 - I want to figure out how to get the high-def (at least ...

Hi, I am trying to use external trigger from Axis 211A to zmtrigger.pl runing Ubuntu server 64 12.04. zmtrigger.pl is running but the Axis camera test to connect shows following error: Connection failed: 502 Bad Gateway The CGI was not CGI/1.1 compliant. I tried to connect from another machine using ...
