Hello, I would like to connect a usb camera to a computer outside the basic network. Is it possible!! THANKS Yes it is possible. Zoneminder won't "see" a USB camera connected on _another_ computer, so there will be a couple of steps to research. On the computer that's physically got the USB camera ...

A month ago I received a new internet router from my internet provider. Simply connect this and follow the instructions. Nothing else. Yes. I love the simplicity of things like this. "Don't worry, it will just work!" -- and I'm never surprised to find that _something_ breaks! :) And yes, right data ...

Are you doing the install as root? Do you do "sudo su" and get a prompt for a password? Any install on Linux needs to be done as root which is the administrator. Maybe that is why your commands are4 failing. "TimeoutError: [Errno 110] Connection timed out" Never mind being root (which probably does ...

Sorry, but I give up. The command add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-1.36 fails. It takes about 10 minutes for something to happen, and then timeout error. Then I continued This sounds like a problem with your installation method -- you cannot execute a command, have it error and fail, and ...

Thanks -- it all seems stable again now!

Is there a disturbance in the force?

and "non increasing dts, fixing. our dts 54207982 stream 0 last_dts 54210997. reorder_queue_size=0" Zoneminder is trying to compensate for a broken video stream. Each frame in the video has a timestamp of when it is expected to be shown, relative to the start of the file/stream. Because time is ...

Good day! Tell me, what needs to be adjusted? Periodically I see such events on remote cameras, on cameras that are connected locally there is no such thing. Remote cameras are connected gre/ipsec pls looks attachment Search the forum for the words "Smearing" "Blurring" "Tearing" ... you'll see ...

If settings are undesirable (or completely unusable) why bother even having them? An alternative question is "If this combination of settings is found to be unusable, why select them all when advised otherwise, and then wonder why stuff still doesn't work?" The settings are there for flexibility ...

Thanks. I updated the https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ffmpeg wiki. Note the example I gave wasn't for _video_ as such, as my cameras give not-very-compliant MJPEG-in-a-HTTP-encoded-stream-of-JPEG which is horrid. I need a filter programme which strips the rubbish and passes just the JPEG stream to ...

Just tried this for my cameras, using the still image output. They don't provide compliant MJPEG output (it's all framed in HTTP responses that need stripping out, so FFMPEG hates them). However, the principle is the same for video ... /usr/local/src/ffmpeg-3.2.14/ffmpeg -y -i http://cam01/image.jpg ...

Hello, Hello, I'm new to ZoneMinder 1.36.x, I see how to add cameras and how to get individual cameras as a re-encoded stream. But I'm looking to make a quad view of four IP cameras and have that as a single motion jpeg stream. Is that possible with ZoneMinder? I don't know if ZM can do this, but ...

If the camera can stream continuosly, it can work. I don't think such a thing exists "off the shelf" due to low battery capacity. AFAIK, you'd need to add your own battery/solar array to get that capacity, which means you don't need the camera itself to be battery. I don't know if ZM would/could ...

32-bit color depth, the CPU load is lower compared to setting the stream to 24-bit at the same resolution. I don’t quite understand this, as the data stream should be smaller with 24-bit than with 32-bit. This bit does make sense, from a programming point of view, to me. Not specific to ZM either! ...
