Video Storage Possible?

[enito]

Hi ,

i recently installed in a debian box a zoneminder, looks so nice..my question, if possible storage videos making with motion in a dir for access to user using samba? i see video can be generated from jpg captures, but i wanna do it automaticly , and send to a dir for access via network, possible?

thx !!!

hello,
it's possible to share with samba the stockage dir of ZoneMinder (safe with read only)

But give us viewer access directly to zoneminder

yes it's posible.

take a look here:

it's from an other forumboard (homeseer), for home domotica software. 2 members here, ZEN en Pete made an 24H alarm script. that generates an video of all events in the last 24 hour. works well and you probably can alter it in an 1-hour or event trigger video script if you know some basic scripting.

copy&past from the homeseer board and code:

Code: Select all

# !/bin/bash

# Use this script for creating alarm video-files 
# Modded by -Mike- aka Zap

# Enumerate existing ZoneMinder Monitors
cameraList=(`ls /var/cache/zoneminder/events/ | grep '[A-z]'`)
cameraNum=${#cameraList[@]}
eventsFolder=/var/cache/zoneminder/events/
echo Number of detected ZoneMinder Monitors: ${#cameraList[@]}

# Start working through all detected ZoneMinder Monitors
 for (( i=0; i<${cameraNum}; i++ ));
 do
  echo Doing ZoneMinder Monitor: ${cameraList[$i]}

# Get a list of images for the last 24 hours from each of the detected ZoneMinder Monitors.
  find $eventsFolder${cameraList[$i]} -follow -mtime -1 -name \*capture.jpg > /tmp/alarmvideos/${cameraList[$i]}.list

# Sort output file for a consistent movie
  sort /tmp/alarmvideos/${cameraList[$i]}.list -o /tmp/alarmvideos/${cameraList[$i]}-sorted.list

# Encode each 24hr events into a movie
  mencoder mf://@/tmp/alarmvideos/${cameraList[$i]}-sorted.list  -mf w=640:h=480:fps=10:type=jpg -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4 -ofps 10 -oac copy -o /tmp/alarmvideos/${cameraList[$i]}-`date +%F`.avi

# Find avi's with actual events-move to new dir
  cd /tmp/alarmvideos
  find *.avi -size +5k -exec mv {} /tmp/zmvideos \;

# Cleanup
  rm -rf /tmp/alarmvideos/*.list
  rm -rf /tmp/alarmvideos/*.avi

  done
