Hi,

I wanted to know if i can get the zoneminder software to run on the raspberry pi, im running a flavour of debian.

I have xmbc running, but its turned off most of the time, so now its basically a headless web server,

Have apache2, php, mysql already up and running serving a website.


Can anyone shed any light on this?

Thanks in advance

I found it fairly straight forward to install and get to work.

Used the latest wheezy image from the raspberrypi.org, did a bit of tweaking (overclock, sshd etc) and then sudo apt-get install zoneminder

Had to follow the instructions on the wiki to move the apache2 config along with a couple of other things http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... rom_a_.deb

Also had to update the Memory.pm to hardcode the architecture as 32 bit

With 1 IP camera it is running with a load average of 0.45 - I am now trying to see what can be done to optimise it - any suggestions?

Hi,

Last night I compiled and installed the latest version (ZM1.25) and seems that works. The CPU load was pretty high with 3 IPCAMs. Tonight I will try to do start again from scratch and post the steps to install the latest version.

I am going to watch progress on this, as I want to build a CCTV recorder for my car.

Anyone have any luck getting ZoneMinder on the latest Raspberry Pi?

I have the Rev B. board and am having some difficulties getting it functioning.

I installed ZoneMinder via apt-get
Tried to follow the additional steps located at:
http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... rom_a_.deb

Got to the part where I need to install ant...had a couple of hiccups that I think i resolved correctly.
One major thing is I had forgotten to restart and resize the partition of my SDcard so it was running out of space (doh')

Installed JavaSDk via apt-get in order to build cambozola.jar
Ended up with currently installed:
java version "1.6.0_24"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6.1.11.5) (6b24-1.11.5-1+rpi1)
OpenJDK Zero VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode)

First attempt at building yielded nothing.

Ran apt-get update
Rebooted

Attempted building and success!
Moved the newly built Cambola.jar files to the /usr/share/zoneminder directory

Tried logging in to the admin control panel via NetSurf. Input my username and password (default admin still)
Says the Page is Done loading, but all I get is a message across the top ZoneMinder Login" "Logging In"

Curiously, before I installed Java and Cambola I was able to login to ZoneMinder and poke around and look at all the settings, menus, etc...

Thoughts from any experts? (one of which I am not)
