Working QSee/Swann/Zmodo DVR support! - Updated 2013-04-21

Anyone had any luck getting zmodopipe to run in CentOS?

I originally had this running in Ubuntu but lost my VM and decided I'd rebuild in CentOS since I was moving the rest of my servers over to CentOS.

All I get in ZM is just a blue screen. Thanks for your help

Excuse me, through my multiple attempts I posted the wrong syntax...

I´ve testet the folling command with the same result....

--------------------------------------------------------------------
root@:/share# ./zmodopipe -s 192.168.178.100 -p 8888 -c 1 -v -u admin -a password
Usage: ./zmodopipe [options]

Where [options] is one of:

-s <string> IP to connect to
-t <int> Send a timer interrupt every x seconds.
....
---------------------------------------------------------------------

So this is what mine looks like

Code: Select all

./zmodopipe -s 192.168.1.194 -p 9000 -c 1 -c 2 -c 3 -c 4 -c 5 -c 6 -c 7 -m 2 -u admin -a Password -t 300 &

I don't have the -v option turned on because of the fact that I don't need the output anymore.

Let me know if that helps you.

So I ended up reinstalling my VM that runs zoneminder. Apparently the zmodopipe doesn't like CentOS 7 so I dropped it down to CentOS 6

I also found this github repo

https://gist.github.com/jph/6a25bcee0344c33cc50b

So grabbed the latest copy of the program from there and I'm off to the races now once again with a working install .

Anyone know the command switches for ZMD-DD-SBN8 - 8CH H.264 StandAlone DVR

When running:

Code: Select all

./zmodopipe -s 10.168.3.11 -p 15961 -c 1 -c 2 -c 3 -c 4 -c 5 -u admin -a cfr010408 -m 5 -t 300 -n zm -v

I'm getting this type of output which looks correct... but in zoneminder console it just shows a dead image.
I'm adding /tmp/zm0 to the source tab.

Hello !, someone could tell me if solved the above problems, as no one says if he solves it or not, I have the same problems .... but I see positive responses!

[joshuairl]

Yeah :-/ would definitely love to be able to get this working smoothly and reliably... I've yet to be able to pull it off at all.

Anyone done anything with the Zmodo H9124, H9128?
http://files.zmodo.com/Software%20Discs ... H9124v.zip

Downloaded this file to find the Mac client.

Login works as long as I choose "LAN" as the network option.

Wondering what that is about... if I choose "Internet" it fails.

Hi all, its great to see some active posts in regards to the zmodo devices. I recently purchased and installed a zmodo NVR system with 4 POE cameras. the system works great as a basic system, but the motion control alarms are too frequent and the supported app is, well..., not supported well.

I was wondering if the zoneminder software can be installed on an NVR unit as a standalone system. Any tips?

I have a Nas4Free system at home too, but I'm not sure how it would integrate with the NVR as a hub.

I would like to ask following:
I have DVR KGUARD AR821-CKT001, IP cam viewer detects it as "MaxSecure M2004i" with HTTP port. Device itself is set to use port 80 for HTTP and 9000 as media protocol.

I tried every configuration combination that came into my mind with -p 80 and -p 9000, -m 1 to 8 but everything seems to result in errors like:

Ch0: Ch 1: Connect result: 0
---
Ch 0: Ch 1: Send 1 result: 144
Ch 0: Ch 1: Receive 1 failed: -1
Ch 0: Ch 1: Send 2 result: 88

etc.

According to IP Cam viewer configuration it seems that it uses HTTP connection, does anyone have idea what could be wrong?

Thanks in advance!

How to integrate zmodopipe in zoneminder?
I have only clock shown and it's ticking.
Video grey in bw setting or red in color setting (see attachment)
Anybody experience the same?

I wrote up something on Zmodopipe in the wiki.

Might help someone.

I have a Swann DVR8-1000 that I purchased from Costco a few years back. The device works fine right now and I would like to be able to use it with zoneminder because the built in motion detection isn't very useful. It seems like this driver may be my best option to do that other then just buying new IP cameras.

I can access the DVR in IP Cam Viewer using the DVR8-3000 driver so I was hoping since this was developed using the blessing of the developer of that application I might be in luck but I am still having trouble. Below is the command that I am running to access my DVR it has two ports HTTP and MEDIA and I am using the media port and mode 2.
