Hi, is there an upgrade howto available? I am at 1.19.4 and want to upgrade to the most recent version. The README doc is not at all clear on the upgrade process. I don't know if I need to run all the 'configure' bits before using 'zmupdate.pl' or not, and I don't know if I need to have ZM stopped ...

I did not use the mysql which comes with Fedora because it's not the latest stable version available. I suggest you remove the FC3 mysql RPMs and install the mysql RPMs Version 4.1 from www.mysql.com. I installed everything except the benchmark/testsuite. This will give you the neccesary libraries ...

Hmm... That could definitely cause the problem, but I guess its all down to how it resolves the host name. The access is via NAT'd address on a broadband router doing port-forwarding. The only thing the virtualhost changes is the hostname, which is a CNAME to the actual host name. I'll look for more ...

I looked at the DB settings and nothing appears out of place... I'm thinking that maybe something has changed in the network at work, because the streaming works fine when I use it from home. I don't remember checking the streaming (from work) before I changed the configuration, so I can't say for ...

Ok, well I managed to get everything working (almost :D !). Here is what I did: 1) re-reran ./configure with new paths 2) edited zmconfig.txt and changed paths where needed 3) ran make, zmconfig.pl -noi, make install 4) changed my Apache configs... All is working EXCEPT I've got a problem with ...

Hi, well, I originally set up ZM on a "test" system which has migrated into my new main server. Unfortunately for me, I set up ZM with the web root as /var/www/html (because it was the only site I was running on the box), but I've now got 6 other virtualhost web sites, all with directories under ...

Oh, DUH! - I guess if I ever actually saw the "save" link I would have known that! I was trying to filter and using the "submit" button and just assumed that I misunderstood filters and that they were only "Real Time" filters...

Thanks,

Kevin

I guess I am a little confused by filters - don't they only work when you are actively running the console or do they work regardless of whether or not you are logged in?

Thanks,

Kevin

Sean,

I found that using the JPEG streaming mode (under Video on Config screen) works to view the time-lapse recordings...

Kevin

Well, there is no external antenna or connector, so it still won't work

I also have WiFi in my house, in fact my ZM box is running wireless with NDISwrapper... I haven't seen any issues with phone/WiFi interfering with each other...

Kevin

Ok, glad its not just me

I happened to be looking at the zmaudit.pl script yesterday, and yes, I believe it does remove stuff from the events directory that don't map to DB entries.

Kevin

The cameras I am talking about are 2.4Ghz spread-spectrum wireless, not 802.11 ethernet (aka WiFi), so that is not a choice here.

Kevin

Hey - great tip! I set up a monitor to record at .2 FPS and I'm liking the idea of a time-lapse continuous recording. I have noticed that for whatever reason, I can't play the events back as a stream! I have to "generate video" to watch them, which is a drag. I've tried setting the size from default ...

Yeah, I would do it, too but then I would have to re-program the date/time settings on my phone... I may do it when I have a few minutes. I tried the different channel settings on the camera without any positive change. I'll ahve to dig out the phone docs and see what I can do there. I do remember ...

No, but I did see it get considerably worse when the phones were in use and a coworker of mine with the same cameras has confirmed that his problem definitely goes away when his phones are powered off. I guess you are just trying to confirm that the problem is my phones, but I'm not getting rid of ...
