I have installed and put into service zoneminder system before, but its been a while.
Is there to have "timed" switching between monitor and Modetect recording methods? (for day/night recording)? Modetect at night, record during the day.
Also, question about bandwidth. I was thinking of setting up the system to have the frontend on-site but storage of images onto a remote server with the connection being broadband (dsl/cable). How much bandwidth is required for storing images over the internet via an NFS for example? Will it suck dry a dsl connection for recording of 3 video cameras? Reason for this is for monitoring 2 sites with a single backend storage, so if the front end was stolen the images would not go with it.
Thanks for any info!
This possible?
You simply create two "States" and save them, one for Day, one for Night, then switch between states using cron and zmpkg Night or zmpkg Day
For bandwitch, multiple size by fps and you've got the bytes/second. Divide by eight to get bits/second which is the usual way of measuring connection speed.
Eg, 256kbps = 256000 / 8 = 32000 / 1024 = 31.24 KB/s
If your three images multiplies by their fps is greater than that, then no - won't work. Typically what happens is the first one gets updated and the second and third ones hardly ever.
