Hello Flash,
is highmem support in all newer kernel versions enabled (if so, i would simply choose the newest kernel) or where can I find out which kernel supports highmem?

Thanks!!

Hello, I have upgraded my ZM server from 512 MB to 2 GB of RAM. But Debian only recognizes 880 MB. As I read, It's a kernel related problem - I have to compile a kernel with High Memory Support. But now I found in /boot/config-2.6.8-3-386 this section: # # Firmware Drivers # CONFIG_EDD=m CONFIG ...

Because i am using only indoor cams i solved my problem:

I took some stripes of foil and sticked it on the window, so that the unintersting / public parts of the cam view are covered.

Not clean, but it works

Hi James, the point is that the legal decision (at least in germany) doesn't allow saving the recordings of persons who are not informed about they are entereing a surveillanced area. Applying the filter on playback would be one step too late because the raw data contain the public area. Regards ...

Hello, i am dealing with the legal decisions (in Germany) which are important when installing cameras an saving the data. In our case, i can not avoid that my cameras record parts of a public street, too. The german law tells me that people have to be informed before they are in the camera's spot to ...

Thanks, that's the way I found it out. By the way you say "lovely interface":

Nice feature is the "script editor": you can edit files of the embedded linux. My cams are now able to syslog....

Hi James,
in zm i can define 24bit color / greyscale, thats clear.
But i did not find this setting in the webinterface of the cam.

Update: calling the URL

[IP]/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?resolution=640x480&color=0

gives me a greyscale image.

Thanks!!!

Hello,
i am thinking of setting all my axis cams to greyscale, because it takes less CPU power.
But - it seems to me that i cant change from 24 bit color to greyscale? Does axis only support 24 bit color in model 205/206?
Thanks,
Simon

Hi Phil,
WOW!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! I'm sure that helps many zm users.

Best regards -

P.S.: let me know if I can do something for the wiki!

Thanks Phil, for your answer. That helps me a lot to understand. May I ask you another question according debugging? When I enable debug images, I see images generated labeled with "capture" (thats the original image, thats the easiest :-) ), "analyse", "diag14-1", "diag16-2", "diag16-3", "diag16-4 ...

I am new to zoneminder, but i think it could do it for you setting the monitor type to "record"!

Hello, i have two cams at the moment, which are very difficult to configure (heavy environment with reflections on cars, trees and so on). So I tried to figure out which steps are done in which order till a alarm is created. So I did: 1. Alarm Threshold: How much must a pixel differ from a reference ...

Hi James,
