ZoneMinder Forums

I just wanted to post this so it may save others a lot of time in the future. I'm using Zoneminder in a docker image, with MariaDb in another docker image. All working fine, but when I tried to upgrade the image to 1.34, there was an issue with running zmupdate.pl inside the image: ERROR 1728 (HY000 ...

Thanks! And could you point me towards the direction how to get/create such a script?

This new cheap camera does a great job in providing a 10FPS RTSP stream:

I was looking if it were possible to add some control (pan, tilt) to it as well? Is there like a generic approach for it to make this work?

I had this problem also. The issue is that Docker limits the Shared Memory (shm) of its containers by default to 64M, which is far too low for zoneminder. The fix is to increase your shm allocation when you run your image: docker run --shm-size="224M" <image name> https://docs.docker.com/engine ...

I used to run Zoneminder 1.30 locally installed on Ubuntu 16.04, 4 camera's. After I reinstalled the server with Ubuntu 18.04 I thought it would be a good idea to put every service in a docker container. I've managed to start a separate MariaDB container, with is working fine for other services. I ...

Curious, I googled a bit on the Xiaomi Dafang cams. Looks like Xiaomi and Wyze make the same models. From what I could tell, the cams don't officially support rtsp. They're really optimized for iOS/Android phone use and a proprietary cloud service. To get rtsp, you have to install firmware hacks ...

Thanks again! With the 'ffmpeg' setting, I am not able to get a stable connection and after some time the screen goes blanc. Using UDP in the setting creates smearing, so I already used TCP for that. Also, my camera has JPEG or H264 RSTP, but apart from the resolution and the fps, I cannot change ...

First things I do when struggling with a new IP cam include: - Log into the camera and check all the settings for sanity. I'll set the frame rate low, to 3 or 5 FPS. I'll make sure the network settings are perfect. -Set the cam to rtsp via TCP rather than UDP. Set ZM monitor for the cam to use rtsp ...

I have a couple of Xiaomi Xiaofang camera's flashed with custom firmware (Dafang-hack). They support RTSP streams, works well in VLC. In Zoneminder I have 1 configured as: - Remote - RTSP - RTP/Unicast - <IP address> - 8554 - Response Media URL enabled The logging for this camera gives me loads of ...

1 small issue I found with zmNinja, it seems to loose the connection when I reopen te app. Lost show 401 Not authenticated, when I reconfigure the authentication it works again. So it seems like the auth. token is not being refreshed correctly? [edit] This issue seems to have been resolved by itself ...

That worked great! I just did the lines step by step, I already knew I had most of it in place. Right after this, /getVerion.json shows me {"version":"1.30.4","apiversion":"1.0"} and now zmNinja works as well :D Thanks so much! Btw, are there any benefits omg upgrading to 1.32.1 on Xenial? I am ...

Hi bbunge, are you referring to the 'Zoneminder API fix'? I did read about that, haven't found it though. What does it do, does it change things to the overall PHP7.2 settings? Or just the Zoneminder (API?) settings? I think I'm brave enough ;) If it helps, I could share the contents of /tmp/zmlogs ...

Hello, I've followed the guide to install Zoneminder on Ubuntu 16.04 (Easy way), which all went well. After that, I was encouraged to enable OPT_AUTH, which I could not find. I did find OPT_USE_AUTH, which is now enabled (I assume that's the same). I can successfully login http://server/zm ...
