Hi, & a few questions

[Afx]

Hi, thx for this great util..I have migrated from Motion and decided to give this a try on Mandrake 10 official...all seems well apart from 2 things:

I don't get an outline on the triggered area of motion.

Is there a better description of how to setup the zones?...having trouble understanding the application of the values

The images don't get deleted when you deleted the events..is this normal?

Many thanks,

Afx

You can read all that information on the Read me file: http://www.zoneminder.com/downloads.html

About deleting images, you can turn that option on on the options menu where there's an option that allows (for permormance issues) to delete the images only from database and not from the harddisk.

thx, i did read the readme file (did get it installed and working!)
but I wondered if there was a 'laymans' setup guide or examples for the zones...the options arent too intuitive..for me at least

Sounds like you might want to turn on one or both of these options:

ZM_RECORD_DIAG_IMAGES Whether to record intermediate alarm diagnostic images, can be very slow (?)
ZM_CREATE_ANALYSIS_IMAGES Whether to create analysed alarm images with motion outlined (?)

You can get to these settings from the options link off of the main zm page un der the "System" tab.

cheers fella..all is working fine now..
Logitech USB 3000pro webcam on an xp2000 athlon running Mandrake 10.
Was a bit of a pain getting the webcam to work with Mandrake 10 as it needed a kernel recompile Also have a Hauppage tv card with a test b/w cam on...all looks good so far
