ZoneMinder Forums

Glad I could help.

I installed Zoneminder from deb-multimedia repo and up to now it's working fine.

ZM 1.32.3 is working for me on Debian 10 with the following configuration for apache 2.4 (zoneminder.conf) ####################################################### # # Remember to enable cgi mod and serve-cgi-bin.conf configuration # # a2enmod cgi # a2enconf serve-cgi-bin.conf ...

It happened to me also (zm v1.29.0 on Debian Jessie) and this solution worked for me It's a good idea to backup your database before doing the recovery. As root user: Stop zoneminder #systemctl stop zoneminder.service Stop mysql #systemctl stop mysql.service Run the following command (if the ...

I have a similar camera and it works in ffmpeg and remote modes: General tab/Source Type: Ffmpeg Source tab/Source Path: rtsp://192.168.1.96/11?tcp Source tab/Remote Method: RTP/Unicast OR General tab/Source Type: Remote Source tab/Remote Protocol: RTSP Source tab/Remote Method: RTP/Unicast Source ...

1. i could find any zm log file where is it have looked to the directories /tm/zm <---empty /var/log/zm/ <--empty On Debian, ZM log messages are stored by default in /var/log/syslog. If you want to separate zm messages from the other log entries in syslog, run: #cat /var/log/syslog | grep zm > /var ...

I have frequent losses of image data on all of the ip cameras connected to Zoneminder, looking like the image below: http://fileshare.felnet.ro/042-capture.jpg This is happening since I switched from version 1.25 to 1.28. It is not a network issue, as if I look at the same time at the web stream ...

Ok so i have managed to get it working in VLC from inside the local network using the URL; http(internal)://192.168.1.5:99/videostream.cgi?user=admin&pwd=admin And this works, but when i try the external IP http(external)://92.25.*.*:99/videostream.cgi?user=admin&pwd=admin it doesnt pick it up do i ...

Yes, use Ffmpeg. If you are running Windows try "iSpy", it's a free software, to connect to the camera. It has a scan facility that can help you find the connection parameters.

You're welcome, bbunge. By the way, in Debian you don't need "sudo", neither to add regular users in the sudoers list. Just login as a regular user, issue the "su" command, give the root password and you're in as root.

Ups, forgot about that.
#systemctl enable zoneminder.service

I have added that to the walkthrough.

Forget about th public IP until you don't succeed to connect the camera locally. First try to locally connect it to zoneminder or vlc and if that is ok, then you may consider port forwarding. Seeing the video stream in the web interface (usually by means of a script or plugin that manages the video ...

Http port is the web interface port. It is changed from the standard 80 to 99.
I suggest you first try to connect the camera to zoneminder locally and check if it works.

You have set the cam to use port 99 for what? In many cameras you can set a port for the web interface apart from the standard port 80 and also a port for the video stream. Wanscam has many camera models, be more specific about the particular camera you are dealing with.

The web interface uses port 80 (if it's not configured otherwise). The video stream uses another port (554 for RSTP for example). If you are forwarding port 80 through external port 99, you are always going to have the web interface when accessing external_IP:99. You have to forward the video stream ...
