Newbi Question about "mocrod"

[NewNetScott]

Hi All,

First off if this is posted somewhere else please just direct me to it as I must have missed the posting or Wiki, and except my apologies for being so dump

However, I have just added 6 of Axis cameras to my new ZoneMinder 1.23.3 build which is housed on a Ubuntu 9.10.

5 of the cameras are Axis 2110s which are currently set to Monitor only and the last camera is an Axis 206 which I'm trying to use "mocrod" with. I have set a Zone within the view of the camera and its all working fine.

However, the issue that I have is that after the first Event is triggered the system keeps recording and shows the recorded events in the list.

What I would like is for only events that have a Score to be recorded and saved.

I hope that this makes sence to someone out there as I'm starting to play far too much and I may endup breaking what I'm starting to think will be a very useful tool.


~Yours,
Scott

Try switching to "Modect" or check your section length setting.
From the wiki under documentation:


"Monitor Tab
Name
The name for your monitor. This should be made up of alphanumeric characters (a-z,A-Z,0-9) and hyphen (-) and underscore(_) only. Whitespace is not allowed.
Source Type
This determines whether the camera is a local one attached to a physical video or USB port on your machine, a remote network camera or an image source that is represented by a file (for instance periodically downloaded from a alternate location). Choosing one or the other affects which set of options are shown in the next tab.
Function
This essentially defines what the monitor is doing. This can be one of the following;
•None – The monitor is currently disabled and no streams can be viewed or events generated.
•Monitor – The monitor will only stream feeds but no image analysis is done and so no alarms or events will be generated,
•Modect – or MOtion DEteCTtion. All captured images will be analysed and events generated where motion is detected.
•Record – In this case continuous events of a fixed length are generated regardless of motion which is analogous to a convention time-lapse video recorder. No motion detection takes place in this mode.
•Mocord – This is a hybrid of Modect and Record and results in both fixed length events being recorded and also any motion being highlighted within those events.
•Nodect – or No DEteCTtion. This is a special mode designed to be used with external triggers. In Nodect no motion detection takes place but events are recorded if external triggers require it.
Generally speaking it is best to choose ‘Monitor’ as an initial setting here.. "

Hi bb99,

Thanks for the reply I'm fairly sure that I have already tried "modect" but I'll give it another go just to make sure that I have not done something stupid.

Hi bb99,

I have now got the system doing just what I wanted.

I changed over to the "modect" as you said but still had problems with the recording. So, I removed the zones that I had created for this camera and added a new Zone, and knock me down with a feather if it didn't start working straight off.

I can only guess that it must have been something that I had done within the Zone that stopped this from working correctly.

Once again thanks for the help.
