Bash script to manage cameras and zmtrigger

[sagitt]

Hi, I created this bash script and named it "cmd_ipcamers" (Put it into /sbin/ or other folder and give it 755 permission). It restart ZoneMinder's Cameras and (Force Manually) Start\Stop Recording.

Usage:
cmd_ipcameras {reboot|rebootid|record|recordid|stoprecord|stoprecordid|info}

reboot = Reboot all cameras (I have 7 Cameras).
rebootid <ID> = Reboot the specific ZoneMinder Camera ID.
record | stoprecord = Record all cameras (Again, I have 7 Cameras).
recordid | stoprecordid <ID> = Record the specific ZoneMinder Camera ID.

Reboot is managed by zmcontrol.pl using "--command=reset" (So, you need PTZ settings enabled and setted on your Camera [Control])
Recording is managed by zmtrigger.pl and the script send telent commands to localhost.

NOTE: Changing "cmd2" value, the script can do anything on the camera like pan\tilt etc..

"cmd_ipcameras" file:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
host="localhost"
port="6802"
cmd1="timeout 5 zmcontrol.pl"
cmd2="--command=reset"
cmd3="|on+150|200|Manual|Record"
cmd4="|off+10|0|Manual|Stopped"

case "$1" in
	'reboot')
		$cmd1 --id=1 $cmd2
		echo Reboot ID 1 ZoneMinder IP Camera now.
		sleep 0.5
		$cmd1 --id=2 $cmd2
		echo Reboot ID 2 ZoneMinder IP Camera now.

		echo All 7 ZoneMinder IP Cameras have been successfully rebooted.
	;;
	'rebootid')
		$cmd1 --id=$2 $cmd2
		echo Reboot ID $2 ZoneMinder IP Camera now.
	;;
	'record')
		( echo open $host $port
  		sleep 0.5
  		echo 1$cmd3
  		sleep 0.5
  		echo 2$cmd3
  		sleep 0.5

  		sleep 0.5
  		echo 6$cmd3
  		sleep 0.5
  		echo 7$cmd3
		sleep 0.5 ) | telnet
		sleep 0.5
		echo Record command sent to all 7 ZoneMinder IP Cameras.
	;;
	'recordid')
		( echo open $host $port
  		sleep 0.5
  		echo $2$cmd3
		sleep 0.5 ) | telnet
		sleep 0.5
		echo Record command sent to ID $2 ZoneMinder IP Camera.
	;;
	'stoprecord')
		( echo open $host $port
  		sleep 0.5
  		echo 1$cmd4
  		sleep 0.5
  		echo 2$cmd4
  		sleep 0.5
  		echo 3$cmd4
  		sleep 0.5
  		echo 4$cmd4
  		sleep 0.5
  		echo 5$cmd4
  		sleep 0.5
  		echo 6$cmd4
  		sleep 0.5
  		echo 7$cmd4
		sleep 0.5 ) | telnet
		sleep 0.5
		echo Stop record command sent to all 7 ZoneMinder IP Cameras.
	;;
	'stoprecordid')
		( echo open $host $port
  		sleep 0.5
  		echo $2$cmd4
		sleep 0.5 ) | telnet
		sleep 0.5
		echo Record command sent to ID $2 ZoneMinder IP Camera.
	;;
	'info')
		echo "Use reboot/record/stoprecord or rebootid/recordid/stoprecordid <ID> parameters to reboot or (stop)record IP Cameras manually"
	;;
	*)
		echo "Usage: $0 {reboot|rebootid|record|recordid|stoprecord|stoprecordid|info}"
		exit 1
	;;
esac

exit 0

As Arduino Sketh, I hope this can help someone.

Similar to my script I wrote here viewtopic.php?f=9&t=26909 except I use the API, not zmcntrol.pl.

Can you explain how this will reset the cameras? Does this require a specific ZM version, because I don't see any code for --control=reset in /usr/bin/zmcontrol.pl in 1.29 or 1.30.4.

I have HIKVISION IP Cameras. I used the integrated hikvision control script for reset camera from the ZoneMinder web ui

(see: viewtopic.php?t=25442)

in the script:

Code: Select all

#
# reset (reboot) the device
#
sub reset {
    my $self = shift;

    $self->PutCmd("ISAPI/System/reboot");
}

1;

I'm using this script (with other scripts) to send commands with HomeBridge and my iOS devices.

Like "Hey siri, record living room" or "hey siri, reboot living room camera" etc... etc..
