ZoneMinder Forums

I've seen zoneminder around for several years and am finally getting it running. I've got several panasonic cams and can only seem to connect to them sporadically using the 5fps jpeg method. I've not successfully used the mjpeg connection yet, I will try the increase of shared memory. Running Debian ...

The d-link camera requires authentication: I can't turn it off.

The gadspot camera doesn't require it, and I get the same errors on both.

showing my lack of depth: How do I up the debug level? (running Ubuntu/Debian)

I don't think it is a problem with the path to the camera. This also shouldn't cause the shared memory issues immediately on program startup.

If I do:

wget http://cam:cam@192.168.0.21/cgi-bin/video.jpg

I get the capture pic without any problem.

I hadn't defined any zones -- there was just the default 100% zone, so your link didn't seem to be quite the same thing. in zmwatch.log I get: 05/14/07 08:53:10.928682 zmwatch[5665].ERR [Can't get shared memory id '7a6d2001', 1: No such file or directory] 05/14/07 08:53:10.929777 zmwatch[5665].INF ...

I'm afraid I'm showing my limited breadth of Linux knowledge. That's what I get for picking it up piecemeal without any good overall picture! "shared memory not valid" is the only error it really gives, which doesn't help me one bit! syslog reads at zm startup: May 11 14:01:31 localhost zmdc[23787 ...

Oops. I looked over the sticky post, but missed the log file locations. I was expecting a /var/log/zm.log or something. I restarted zm and found this in my messages log. It is repeated several more times. It looks like a bigger issue than camera configuration, but I'm totally out of my depth with ...

After much grief and delays, I've finally got ZoneMinder running on Ubuntu 6.06. All the prerequisites were a bit of a pain. Now that I have it running, I can't seem to actually get it connected to my cameras. There are 0 errors during configuration and install. Both cameras are IP cameras and I can ...
