How to enable events (Alarmed or Filtered Pixels in Zones)

Post by Stefan_1982 »

Hello,

I'am runnung Ubuntu 10.10 with the cool script from here. THX to Pada
http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... highlight=

+
cd /usr/src
wget http://www.charliemouse.com:8080/code/c ... est.tar.gz
tar -xzvf cambozola-latest.tar.gz
cp cambozola-0.80/dist/cambozola.jar /var/www
chmod 775 /var/www/cambozola.jar
cp cambozola-0.80/dist/cambozola.jar /usr/share/zoneminder
chmod 775 /usr/share/zoneminder/cambozola.jar
i don't know which is the right path.

After a few flops my system is running very stable and solid.

But a few questions are still open.

1.)
In many How To's we should change the STREAM_METHOD to mpeg

i always changed it and didn't get a picture after a few different installations i leave it to jpeg and i get a perfect picture.
What is better in mpeg mode?

2.)
I find this page.
http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... highlight=

CREATE_ANALYSIS_IMAGES Create analysed alarm images with motion outlined (?)
WEIGHTED_ALARM_CENTRES Use a weighted algorithm to calculate the centre of an alarm (?)

I have this problem if i change the Alarm Check Method from BLOB to Alarmed or Filtered Pixels in Zones
Is there a way to get it working on Alarmed or Filtered Pixels in Zones?

Here a few mistakes

Error in messeges
Oct 27 12:21:55 motion zms[16780]: WAR [Unable to store frame as shared memory invalid]

This is a annoying message :) but when you know whats the problem it's easy to find.
The problem is not a wrong setting in shmmax!

Sample
It's the problem if a stream comes with 640*400 and you put 640*480
Or you have
http://login:password@IP:port/cgi/mjpg/mjpeg.cgi but the right one is
http://login:password@IP:port/cgi/mjpg/mjpg.cgi (Trendnet 312W)
If you but the wrong in it everything seems to be ok your source get orange but you have no picture.
But the right on in it and now it's working.

Or STREAM_METHOD to mpeg see point 1

Sorry for my bad english (German is better *g*)
Maybe someone can help me.

Thanks
