ZoneMinder Forums

Hey guys,

I just purchased some Hikvision 2032 Bullet Cameras.

Having the same smearing issues with my cameras on Zoneminder, image looks grainy and monitor turns read after a few seconds. I'm going to try this link when I get home https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Ubuntu

Hey guys,

Is anyone successfully running Hikvision IP cameras on their Zoneminder?

3x2032 keep crashing my system. Core2Duo

Followed this Wiki http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Hikvision

Any success stories out there?

Hey guys, I'm new to the ZM forums. I would like to share with you my latest project. . . My old 2007 Asus G1S Laptop running Zoneminder surveillance software on Ubuntu 12.04 with an attached hidden motion sensing raspberry pi that also doubles as a ftp/nfs/samba server. Let me know what you think ...

have you tried to stream the RPi webcam with FFserver and FFmpeg . Trying to work this out atm. Does motion run ffserver at the same time? Here is part of my ffserver.conf , not sure if im doing it right # Multipart JPEG <Stream test.mjpg> Feed feed1.ffm Format mpjpeg VideoFrameRate 2 ...

I am not familiar with Motion. What protocol is that URL providing? A good way to test is to use VLC and find a method to view it, much quicker than changing ZM settings over and over looking for success. "Motion" is great if you want a RPi+Webcam out of the box that Motion Detects. However if you ...

Hey guys,

I have a RPi at home running "Motion". I can get a webstream of my webcam in my browser on 192.168.1.xx:8585

But when I add it to zoneminder all I get is a blank jpeg placeholder with no image.

Has anyone been able to get this working on their setup?

Hey guys,

Upgraded my ZM to 1.27 and made sure I was using my Administrator Username and Password
All working now

On a side note make sure you have set your ZM Config file to JPEG images not MPEG

Very interesting - thanks for the info. It's an interesting choice of minimal hardware and I'd be interested to find out how it performs for real.. Hi Nugget, Abandoned ZM on my RPi after one week. I found that it could not handle modetect and was skipping events. So I have turned my RPi into a ...

Disregard my last. I have abandoned this project. My new solution is my old core 2 duo headless laptop running zm. Events are now saved on laptop and ftp to a hidden rpi in the house

Fixed zone issue, was a username/password issue. Working fine now

Im interested to know what motion detect settings people are using within there preset zones.

Let me know your success rate with true vs false alarms.

I am using medium sensitivity 20 with overrload of 4. So far not too bad. Will post more details tomorrow.

Hey guys,

Have installed ZM and can see my IP cameras in Monitor View.

When I try to configure my ZONE however I can not see my IP Camera.

Anyone else having this issue?

Hi Mike, I would love to know the answer to this also. Seems like the ZM forums have a shortage of people with knowledge of this program. Everything seems to lead back to the Wiki which doesnt always answer your questions. Its a shame there are not more knowledgable people here to help as it would ...

Hey guys, I want to save my events to a USB Drive plugged into my RPi. A google search returned this URL: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Using_a_dedicated_Hard_Drive Not really sure if this is the correct procedure or not. lsusb returned this as my USB device: Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0781 ...

Ok guys, updated ZM to 1.26 and made some adjustments to the config file. Everything is working

Now I just have to figure out how to Motion Detect Record to my USB device
