Well, the events in question occured in 2006, so I may actually have a database backup. I am definitely no mysql expert though - is there any relatively simple way to just restore all the events from one particular monitor?

A few days ago, the www partition on my ZM server was very close to full. I did not want to purge any old events, so to keep the server running, I temporarily moved some of my events folders to another drive. So, last night I upgraded the drives. Now that I have lots of free space, I moved some of t...

Are you having problems when choosing a live monitor feed or just when you go into the "Video" menu? I'm not really an expert here, but I'll try to help. Everything works for me. I'm using Gentoo linux with ffmpeg 0.4.8-3. I've had problems with some of the ffmpeg versions >= 0.4.9 with Zo...

Heh, yeah, I guess I just suck with following through... I thought I had ordered a 1 million candlepower infrared light, but it was just a regular floodlight with some kind of infrared coating to trap heat or to project more light or something. There are some actual infrared floodlights available fo...

There are times, like on a windy day, where I'll have a bunch of events where nothing happened. I'll have to go through and delete tens or hundreds of events of trees blowing in the wind or of shadows moving. But after I've clicked delete a hundred times, every once in a while, my trigger finger wil...

I'm able to get into mysql with no errors when I run "mysql zm -u zmuser -p" and use zmpass for the password. (Obviously, I'm not really concerned about security here...) But, I'm still not clear on how to run zmupdate.pl. I don't recall ever setting up mysql with a db administrator passwo...

I'm pretty sure that I just used the default user and password. In /usr/local/etc/zm.conf, I have the following: --------------------- # ZoneMinder database user ZM_DB_USER=zmuser # ZoneMinder database password ZM_DB_PASS=zmpass --------------------- I don't think I changed it to anything. Everythin...

I'm trying to upgrade from 1.22.0 to 1.22.1. I ran configure and make install. Then I ran: zmupdate.pl –version=1.22.0 [--user=zm_user --pass=zm_pass] But I get the following error: Warning, overriding installed ./zm.conf file with local copy Update agent starting at 06/05/01 00:27:05 Initiating dat...

I was doing some cleaning and tweaking on my Gentoo machine. I updated a bunch of software, then (a bit carelessly) ran etc-update to update all my configuration files. Then I noticed that some of my module config files (modprobe.conf) had changed. So I had to add "bttv options card=77,77"...

Heh, problem solved. I just used "copy /b event*.mpg allevents.mpg" in a DOS window and it worked. The headers and timestamps might not be correct, but hey, it works fine for me...

I think you could do the following: "dd if=/dev/hdc of=$HOME/cdbackup.raw" where /dev/hdc is the name of your cd reader device and $HOME/cdbackup.raw is the path and name of the file where you would like to store the information. The dd command simply does a raw copy of each block on the d...

Maybe I'm not understanding what you're trying to tell me, but I've already saved these events as mpeg files. What I'm trying to do now is to combine all these individual events (some from last week, some from last month, etc) into one long mpeg file.

I have a few hundred events saved from zoneminder as mpeg files. I'd like to combine them all into one long mpeg file (ordered by date). Does anyone have any ideas for an easy way to do this? I know I could load them up in Premiere or some other video editing program, but it seems like it would take...

I have an Athlon 64 server running Gentoo, with 1 GB RAM and 1 GB swap memory and I'm running modect on 3 cameras. Under most conditions, the load is below 1%. But every once in a while, the server will stop responding or will respond slowly. When I check /var/log/messages, I see tons of buffer over...

I found a 1 million candlepower infrared spotlight online for about $40. It should be here on Friday, so I'll let everyone know how it works out....
