First, i want to thank the community for such a great program...I have been robbed in my garage and I am considering installing multiple camera around the house and inside the house...
I made a few tries...
I am using debian Wheezy, my first try was to install the official .deb from the stable branch wich was v 1.25. Everything went smooth. I could try it with my webcam on /dev/video0. motion detect, recording, monitoring was all working aont from apt-get install... I was quite excited so i went to costco to buy 2 d-link DSC-5010L since i saw on the wiki it was supported for the PTZ also.
So when i got back from costco, i first tried to connect if WiFi on my lan since i wanted to use it that way... what a pain in the a**! I could not do it, (this has nothing to do with zoneminder but i just want to share my experience) I have a Linksys e3000 with dd-wrt. I tryied no security, wep, wpa, wpa2 etc... nothing will do it... but that is a problem i will try to figure later....
So i pluggued one DSC 5010L with ethernet to start configuring it. I look at the wiki pages wich has a straigh forward instruction but coulnd get it to work... had error for http replies and things like that... i tryied for 1 day.
I figured out that there was 1.28 out so i trying compilling it from the sources.. everything went smooth, and the DSC 5010L was monitoring... I had two problems with compiling..
first, i have no knowledge of making a startup script (/etc/init.d/zoneminder ...) that was not a big problem when using zmpkg.pl but i would have to start i by hand and i think i could figure it out somewhat later...
the second problem, there is no image when i try to monitor, i get no image, reading forum and googling, i found that it should be a cgi-bin problem... i try to fix that for 1 day...
finally, i tought that maybe i am too dumb to compile from source and that i should use a .deb that could maybe fix the cgi-bin problem.. so i redownloaded sources with git, and followed instructions but got an error when the script tries to patch ...
Code: Select all
Application de 01_vendor-perl.diff
patching file configure.ac
Hunk #1 FAILED at 443.I want to apologies for my english.. I am a french sepaker...
please, can anyone guide me in making work 1.28 from sources or making a deb?
Thank you very much
Simon
