Hi! We've got here a server with two Xeon processor (1.8Ghz) and a problem is to connect 20 cameras to it. I guess such a server won't be able to process (motion detection&capturing) more than 100 fps; so desirable maximum fps per camera should be about 4 (2 if every camera is alarmed). The best ...

the system I'm configuring now has Celeron 566mhz, 150mb memory; 1 camera connected via Pinnocle PC TV at 4 fps; it uses 10% cpu while analizing and about 90% while capturing
linux distrib is SuSE 8.2

I suppose you may try to use left-top and right-bottom boundaries of blobs (might be of use to check their size, to avoid uninteresting ones) (which are calculated in code responsible for detection) and then pass this information (mean value) via shared memory or whatever to your own program.

here's a code that seems to be working (to be inserted into while (1) in zmfilter.pl): #low disk space part use constant ZM_DISKLOWLIMIT => 100; #in Mbs use integer; my $bindf='/bin/df'; my $partition='/'; #FIXME: to be set elsewhere my $dfree=0; my $st=0; while ($st == 0) { open (DF,"$bindf ...

Hi I think it should be possible to do in another way too (not via filters): there can be situations when 1) the program should keep as much data as it can (simple example: a roberry had a place and it was noticed only after, say, several weeks) 2) you estimated the place several days of record ...

Hi

ZoneMinder is working just fine, yet I've a small proposal:
what is to add an option to merge events into one if one goes after another in, for example, less than 5 seconds time?
