Paid attention this time and got proper reflective tape. A strip along the long axis of the handle shows up nicely when the IR LEDs wars lit up. Gonna cut a thinner strip so it'll be even more obvious.

I mistakingly got some lens tape in the auto parts section at Walmart. That didn't do a thing, it's made to cover a broken tail light. Good thing it didn't cost much, I wasn't paying attention and thought it was reflective tape.

Gonna look again next time I'm out in the retail world.

Anybody got a good suggestion for some reflective tape that will show up nice and bright when a camera is in night mode with the infrared LEDs shining? I got a camera in my workshop that has a view of the deadbolt. If the lights are on I can barely make out whether the deadbolt is locked or not. If ...

Do you have a link to that script, I can't find it anywhere on my setup?

Thanks

Script is in this thread if you want to test it out, it doesn't seem to be part of ZM natively.

I started by drawing a zone around something about man sized. The zone will show how many pixels it contains. I was thinking something similar to that but hadn't thought to use the zone definition to get a good pixel value. I'll be tweaking things this afternoon and report back. Is it possible to ...

I've been using get_zones.pl script I found here and running: Get a list of zones:

I've been replacing some older HD cameras with 4K. Started out with some smearing issues on one but I think I cleaned that up by knocking down the frame rate at the camera and lowering the bitrate. No more false positive alerts from the smearing lately. But now I can't get it to alarm at all. Used ...

Clicking "Home" does nothing right now. Ran tcpdump and I see packets going to/from the camera when I click on the preset buttons but I get nothing when clicking home. This is a ReoLink Trackmix POE camera. I selected the RLC-423 control setting and it seems to be working. But I can for sure say it ...

Yep, tried 0.

Okay, problem was with the zmcontrol socket file, it had disappeared for some reason. Restarted zoneminder and got control again. But I now see one other glitch. How do tell zmcontrol to move the camera to it's home position? I'm not sure what slot # that's saved to in the camera.

Just found this github issue with a fix that seems to work pretty well.

How do you set the default view? Deselecting some of the columns that I don't care about does fix the original problem. But when I go back into that view all the columns are in view again. How do I save the layout that I want as a default? Looked through options and didn't see any setting for this.

Tried that but still getting the occasional frame that throws off the analysis.

Would a higher alarm frame count mean a single smeared frame wouldn't cause an alert?

And there's my Duh moment for the weekend. Should have figured that one out on my own.
