Phil, I have implimented alarm from a saved version of your status page but i have had to download the html as a string, move it line by line into an array and then grab the relevant charecters that i need the problem with this is more than 9 monitors, before i cod around this, and as im new to this level of programming can you suggest a better way?
Basically i get something like

<td>6</td>

and i grab the 4th charecter.

What i will have to do is if getting 6< change to 6 and drop the<, but im wondering if im missing something obvious. WHat i have works but im not sure its too pretty

Update
Added support to playback different monitor than streamed
ie 2 monitors
mon 1 = 1280 x 1024 set to record
mon 2 = 320 x 240 stream from mon 1

This is to keep all streamed images at the same quality and the clock sizes the same. Currently only the first 9 cams can be configured this way but if needed i can extend to the full 36

Update
Added Basic Email Client
Needs to be anabled in settings and you need an smtp server and a valid email address

When in pause still view (where you save and zoom stills) there will be a button marked email (will only be visible if email mode enabled)
Pressing this will load new windows where you enter email address, subject and any text relevant. Pressign send will send email direct to smtp server with the image attached. Early days on this and its not something i use but was asked a while ago so i have included it. If anything needs adding/changing let me know.
PS I cant seem to make vs.net create an email in outllok express easily, as you have to call the app directly from code. This would be problematic for those not on outlook express but another client, so i opted for this. Plus it means you dont need an email client on the machine where the viewer is installed. If you need to be able to recieve email i will have to add this!

Plus various bug fixes including when always on top selected you cannot view the menu again and have to exit/reopen app!

UPDATE AND ITS A BIGGIE
ALARMS!!!

New Screeen from map view is Alarm DIagnostics
This shows config and alarm info
Config Screen

As you can see YOu have Audio Alert Selection of Speech, Tone, Beep or none
On speech Will speak motion alarm and the camera text currently set in option of the alarming camera
On Tone will play the wav file you have as alarm wav file in settings
On Beep will er beep
On None will operate alarms silently

On Video Response you have, Pop up video, Pop up Still and Video and Stills ANd none
Pop up video, will pop up a small window showing live video from the alarming camera
Pop up still will show a still from the camera during the alarm
Video and stills will show a 4 way spilt. As below
1 2
3 4
4 will show live video
1 will show still at alarm
2 is 1 second later
3 is 2 seconds later

All screens containing video will close 5 mins after alarm to prevent overloading the video server from an unatteneded client

if setting both response to none you will get no automatic responses

Regardless of setting the icons on the map view now change colour
grey = nothing
orange = pre alarm or activity (like web i/f)
red = alarm
blue = recoding in modect or record

Obviouly this will only work for monitors with motion detection enabled.

It is currently early days for this and has the following limitations
Only supports 16 cams
Only supports alarms from the same server as monitor 1
Has very little error checking so mistakes in config could be fatal
Not sue how it works yet with twin head enabled

Hopefully it will work well for you but as always commenst and suggestions and critism gratefully recieved

More pics
Alarm Diagnostics (show status)

Alarm view of video and stills

Alarm View of mutiple stills

The video only mode will close after 5 mins like the both setting and looks the same as the stills in screenshots

Also the disabled checkboxes are to islate a singl/mutiple alarms that are annoying or need disabling during the day. This will not disable the detection only the response for the disabled camera(s)

Just in case zip file at

http://217.154.38.122:8080/version2/zm4msbeta.zip

Download zip, extract to a folder eg c:\zm4ms
open folder where all items unzipped and double click on setup.
You will need various files but the installer should get them if you let it.
Please not require .net 2.0 if you have any previous versions of .net 2 installed please remove first. Note do not remove .net 1.0/1.1 as this may impact other apps that require these

jameswilson, howto turn on dual-head function? checkbox dont give result

jameswilson · Post by **jameswilson** » Mon Jun 12, 2006 2:44 pm

When its turned on you need to press the home key and it should pop up on the slave monitor

jameswilson · Post by **jameswilson** » Tue Jun 13, 2006 10:51 am

But dont turn it on if you dont have two monitors it will still work but will pop up on main monitor if disabled, i dont know what will happen if you turn it on on a single head machine

When I load it up its asking for a username and password but I cant see anywhere to tell it which address zoneminder is running on so it rejects the passwords. What am I missing?

jameswilson · Post by **jameswilson** » Sun Jun 18, 2006 12:28 pm

default username and pass is admin admin then you have to set it up

Hi James,

I may be a deep idiot, but i can't get zm4ms working with my ZM server ...
I've browsed all the post regarding zm4ms and noticed the small modification to do to be compatible with the CTU distro, but nothing to do, i still have the red 'x' instead of the stream.

May be it's a small thing, but ...

I can PM you settings to access my server, let me know.

Best regards,

Oliver
