Using Modect to read water meters rotary dialers - SOLVED...
Posted: Thu May 01, 2014 6:53 pm
Hi All
I'm fairly new to zoneminder (1.26.5), but I have succesfully got my 2 yard cameras (via BTTV) and one IP camera that reads my Oil tank measurement level working very well. Now I have installed USB web cam to read also my water meter. Also this works for measurement reading, but what I really would like to do is to have modect in place to give me alarm if there is even slightest continious movent for X period ( Like 5 or 10 min ). Continious water usage on this level would not be normal and would suggest water leakage ( I'm living in a old house witj old pipings...).
Modect it self is working well and sees all the slightest movements of the rotary dialer, but it immidiately gives me the alert ( And I really do not want to get notified everytime some one in our household just flushes the toilet
I originally thought that I could use the "Alarm Frame Count" as it allows to put 99999 as max, but later realizing (afetr reading) that max is 16.
Has anyone ideas how to setup alarm that would be triggered ONLY if there are continious Alarm frames for X period (and as said approx 5-10 mins).
Help much appriciated,
Thanks Sami
