Hello! For my job i have very limited monitor real estate and I've been trying to watch a camera's feed using firefox PIP using scripts and stuff but i can't manage to do it because ZM real-time camera feed is not a supported video feed. I have access directly to the camera's RTSP feed if there ...

Don't reinvent the wheel. Use the power of CSS and overlay/extensions. I looked at your solution. Yes, it's interesting, but: - it is not possible to change the display size for each monitor. - there is no way to change the sorting and location of monitors. These are the main points why I decided ...

Been working on that for many years myself. I made a browser extension for customization and taking away developers responsibilities to the desires of others concerning the UI/UX. I succeeded a long time ago and tried sharing, to no avail. It is just me over the years. If you want to see what my ZM ...

You're right - I'm using '%' in my pass... But also, I'm using '%' in my admin passwd (and some other special char.) - I' getting warning about that, but it works... Strange. Hmm, have you tried url encoding your password for the non admin account in the Zoneminder Source field? Change any instance ...

Any chance that you have special characters (like @?;+:=&$) in your user camera1 password?

An aug 2022 commit on github encoded special characters:

Edit: It looks like is was not pushed to the release-1.36 branch, just master branch

That's cool, and thanks for posting! I looked up the datasheet for that (it's basically a router with video encoders) and I think they break out the groups into four for what they called "quad view". All D1 resolution up to the quad view. I don't know how many cameras you have on the BNC end, is it ...

Hi, Can't really show anything since it's all personal locations in the house. Hey Bob, for future reference, you can blur your cameras temporarily for a screenshot or video capture, if needed. Hit F12 to open the Development Console Click on 'Console' tab (if it's not already selected) Click ...

I think this is a good explanation. Specifics may of changed since then, kinda doubt much if any.

Thanks for the writeup Marcus!! It is not beneficial to me right now, but may be very shortly. Thank you

I have installed zoneminder and opencv gpu, but when I type the following command, it gives an error and does not run, what is the problem? Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS ZoneMinder v1.36.33 Opencv 4.8 ( CUDA Version: 12.1 ) Python 3.10.6 sudo -u www-data /var/lib/zmeventnotification/bin/zm_event_start.sh 1 1 ...

So I am trying to cross reference the camera's listed in OPTIONS/CONTROL, to what Amazon has to offer and the actual model names are not matching very well. Can someone suggest a ONVIF camera with all the bells and whistles, yet won't cost an arm and a leg? Jidetech, Avertx, Amcrest 4k, and Lorex ...

So, to check something, I went from 1.37 back to 1.36. Now, trying to go back to 1.37: Database successfully upgraded to version 1.37.27.^M Upgrading DB to 1.37.28 from 1.36.33^M ERROR 1050 (42S01) at line 17: Table 'Snapshots_Events' already exists^M Output: Checking for Snapshot_Events table^M ...

~One month later and that link still is working, looks like garbage in the daytime though and I won't comment on the nighttime

Is there a way to do a dummy test to see if there's a problem with my software installation? It seems to me that it's quite complex, like instead of a camera, use a file as video output of a camera to test the software installation. Yeah, with ffmpeg. I do it for a generated monitor that displays ...
