It definately needs to be seperate from motion detection. If video is lost, it should be possible to send an email specifically saying so. For example, I would set this up to send a message to my cell phone. If I got that message, I'd go online, see what the video was leading up to the event (ie ...

Solved: I was missing libcrypt.a (from debian package libssl-dev). Only noticed while I was trying to add in --with-ffmpeg and noticed the message scroll by as a warning while running configure. This should probably be made more prominent, as it was very easy to miss and caused some very strange ...

So far all I can find about those devices is that they're a scam and don't actually work ;) Do you actually have any good experience with them? There are spider repellant sprays and stuff, but they seem more short-term and for indoor use.. I'm trying to stop them from building webs just in a small ...

I have a bullet camera (color/b&w IR) mounted on the corner of our building, just below the soffit. There's a big field and some woods beind us, which means we get lots of bugs. There's quite a few spiders that build webs in there. Unfortunately, I can't find any pictures right now, but there was ...

I have a strange problem.. I can't seem to stream recorded events. Live streaming works fine, but when I try to stream an event in the database, it just sits there forever (not a broken image). If I actually go directly to the image url, firefox says "cannot display image .... because it contains ...

this is not the first time this has come up.. http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4902 http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4759 I recently moved my ZM install to a new machine (bttv crashed one too many times, taking down important services..), and I have the same problem ...

Would be nice to have an easy way to change groups: ie, a drop-down box that has a list of the groups, and the currently selected one shown instead of the "x Monitors" link in the console. Have an "edit" link beside it that pops up the group window as the link does now. It may even be nice to have a ...

Yes. I actually ended up swapping two ZM monitors by changing the device number on each, so my b/w input was on a less important camera. Since the problem stayed with channel=2, its not an issue with the ZM config for that monitor. I also tried physically swapping which camera was plugged into that ...

Is it possible to setup a filter so that notification only occurs on motion during a certain time period (ie, 8pm - 6am)? We just added some outdoor cameras to try and catch some people siphoning gas, it would be nice to get paged when it happens so I can call the police to catch them in the act. At ...

I have a bt878 (card=77) from eBay. No matter what camera I hook up to channel 2 (port 3) it shows up as black and white.. the rest of the channels are in color. Is this a hardware fault (should I be sending this back?), or is there a setting that may affect this? My modules.conf has: module bttv ...

Ah, didn't see that option in there, thanks. Yes, basically, ZM wouldn't do any authentication on its own (ie, ZM would never see the password at all). If it sees a username in $_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"], it just assumes that the user is authenticated. As an example, I have mod_auth_pam installed ...

PHP 4.3.10 (debian package). No weird auth strings. I've tried with both auth methods (hashed and plain, sorry, i called hashed "encoded" in my post) - they give different output, as I showed, but neither works. This is zm-1.21.3.

Just setup zoneminder again after a bit of hiatus. I was using it with just a webcam before (and the not-very-great qc-usb drivers) and it actually caught a couple of employees stealing (which we suspected and was the reason for putting it up), but broke when I upgraded the server hardware and the ...
