"force alarm" not working

[nixnooi]

What has to be configured for force alarm to work?

I tried it on a camera that was in monitor only, but ok maybe that is not allowed.

I tried logged in as admin on a modetect camera and nothing happens.

This is a fresh install and I don't remember doing anything in previous versions to make it work.

and I don't have any long passwords - as mentioned in 1.33

set the monitor / camera Function to "Nodect" or "Modect". This will allow forced alarms or activation by zmtrigger.pl

my previous version v1.30.4 is still running.

using a camera set in Modetect - force alarm works fine in v1.30.4 , but nothing happens in 1.34. I don't see anything in the log that looks related.

I have copied over each camera's setting by hand.

Based on your post I checked that /usr/bin/zmtrigger.pl is on the 1.34 installation it is

Thanks to in 1.33 . Once I figured out I had to change the setting and restart/reboot, that did in fact fix my force alarm problem. My setting is now plain. Not sure what this means for security, but I do need force alarm to work.

I am a little confused as the setting on my old version ( v1.30.4 ) is hashed and force alarm works fine there.
