Damn you Cordel, got here before I could! :wink:

Posted results of my 'test' and it was a no go. However, I'm gonna try setting auth to allow my LAN subnet through but ask for credentials for everyone else. I'll bother you some more if I can't get it to work :P

edit: Cordel, your recommendation worked!

this is the code I used in a .htaccess file (learn apache if this is all nonsense to you)
This scenario wasn't mentioned specifically in the apache manual.

Code: Select all

AuthType Basic     #Specifies type of auth, in this case basic HTTP, duh
AuthName "Private"    # Can be your own text, specifies the realm, for informing user i.e. "ZoneMinder console"
AuthUserFile <location of your authorized user file on your box>
Require valid-user   # Tells us the user must be in the file above
Order Deny,Allow    # Order of processing commands
Deny from all     # Deny everything!
Allow from 172.16.37.0/255.255.0.0    # ....Unless it matches this range/subnet mask
Satisfy any    # Act accordingly to any rule
Taken from here.

Just in short AFAIKS: That's a modified apache.conf - seems to let all LAN users in, but no 'outsiders'.

Re the error above, i think i can track that down, i will work on it and release an update

re the not working as a non administrator.
Once you have installed .net etc then the viewer application will need to be insytalled for each login.

ZM4ms will work on restricted user accounts but must be installed by that user on that login.
The reason for this is to allow different settings for each logged in user. ie restricting camera views on staff login but allowing all cams on your login.
Also allows for your own custom views wtc

Hello

I downloaded Viseon Viewer from www.jpwilson.eu but upon loading it asks for a password and username.

Am I unable to use this application?

Performance questions and second network setup

Post by mbill »

First I am giving myself a gold star for reading all 41 pages. I am confident these questions have not been asked before. Second I would like to thank James Wilson for writing the zm4ms; it is a missing piece of the puzzle many of us have been looking for.

Questions

1) From my very limited experience with ZoneMinder it seemed that just viewing 1 camera on the ZoneMinder computer in the browser uses significant CPU power. If we use the zm4ms front end does the CPU use on the ZoneMinder PC stay low.

2) Early on in this thread mention was made that CPU use of the zm4ms PC was only a couple of per cent, is this still true.

3) Can anyone hazard a guess of how much network bandwidth is used per camera per frame rate (I would use B&W cameras 768H x 494V 560 lines).

4) Would it be an easy matter to have 2 network cards in the ZoneMinder PC and zm4ms PC to have 1 dedicated gigabyte network just for ZoneMinder use? If so how would you go about doing this?


Thank you

Mbill

Using the browser on the ZM server is certainly not advisable, browsers suck up a lot of resources, it is better to use zm4ms on a different machine.

Yes

You can use the calculator in the wiki as the same information being stared for each monitor is the same as being sent over the network. I think will find that a B/W 640x480 image will be around 45kB for each image. So at 5fps = 235kB/second.

Really not sure that is necessary but yes, you could if you need too. I usually only use a second nic specifically for IPcams on the ZM server to keep it off the regular subnet.

pulling images from the zm server uses power on the server as it has to create the images to send them to zm4ms via zms. The client resources will depend on the number of cameras viewed at the same time. Some use the (current) full 36 others use 4 or 9 etc.

zm4ms is fairly light and there are ways to make it lighter, by disabling various features that are resource hungry. The latest service packs for .net will help with speed also (mainly redrawing the split screens)

James,
Would I be correct in assuming that zm4ms does not work when using the new ZM_USE_DEEP_STORAGE option?

It looks like zm4ms is trying to use the event number to find the path (figured that by looking at my apache error log)

Thanks.
