Thanks Kevrm,

I want to set up a Raspberry pi with the camera module on it to put into my car, and then be able to upload alarmed images via 3g/4g, do you know if that is do-able?

This looks pretty good,

Is it easy to get working?

Does it allow upload of all footage or just alarmed images? is there a way to choose a different email address for different cameras?

Many thanks

Please forget this, sorted now.

Turns out the login session had timed out on my browser, for some reason it would still let me navigate around the console but until i logged out and in again it was not letting me view the stream!

Hi guys Ubuntu 1404 running zm1.29 was all working fine for weeks. Today I've gone to look at the live feed and it's not loading up the picture just a blank screen. Error logs; zma_m3 1365 INF homedome: 7000 - Analysing at 3.98 fps zm_monitor.cpp 1287 2016-07-15 17:54:09.929049 zmc_m3 1361 INF ...

I've only ever had the blue screen when there's a problem with the camera itself. Check it's connected properly. We do nwe'd something to stop the fps and cpu usage shooting up when it happens though

I will test this out soon thanks for your advice, if ffmpeg is the culprit, any ideas on how to reduce the cpu usage on that?

Many thanks

Thanks for posting back, Does anyone have amy generics scripts to use their cameras motion detection, or is this going to be specific to each camera? I wouldn't mind the cpu being at 35% but I am looking at adding more cameras and not sure if the cpu on the machine could cope. If I could offload the ...

Hi guys,

Was wondering,

When you generate a video file, what happens to it? Does it get deleted from the server at some point? When does this happen? Does the purge filter apply to this? Also, what does the archive feature do and does that get removed as well?

Many thanks

Hmm good point, maybe send out signals every few moments to see if the motion has stopped rather than constantly analyzing it? I think id prefer to have less CPU usage and deal with slightly less accurate conclusions of events. As when its monitoring idle images it is not using that much cpu, so if ...

Hi guys, I'm looking for a way to reduce the CPU when motion detection is enabled. So i've looked at how much CPU is being used when MoDect is enabled and when there is lots of motion going on and for my setup this comes to about 35%. When i switch it to "Monitor" it only takes up about 8%. When ...

Hi guys,

Was wondering if anybody has yet been able to configure their setups so that instead of using the zoneminder server for motion detection and using up the CPU there, it uses the camera's itself?

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Thank you asker

I will try this out later!

Hi guys

Is this out now?

How can I upgrade to this?

Do we need to add a PPA for this?

Many thanks

That's awesome works great
Thank you!

Hi guys,

I have 3 cameras set up in ZM and would like all 3 to only store exactly 2 weeks worth of footage.

Does anyone know how i can achieve this using the filter?

Also, if anyone has any cool filter configs for doing other things i would be interested in those too.

Many thanks!
