ZoneMinder Forums

I want to share with you some tip for zoneminder, the name is screen-message, and you can use to print in to all monitor an alert when an alarm occurs.

you can download here:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/screen-message


then :
apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev

tar -xzvf screen-messa...
cd screen-messa...

./configure
make & make install

run it:

sm Hello world


you will see in all the monitor a BIG message "Hello world"

you can also use some colors.

the last step is to add to zmfilter some action to make it run when alarm occurs.

enjoy it!.
