Hi all,

I have zoneminder with the 1.36.33 version on my debian bookworm.

I want to enable or disable camera and the function choosed (monitor, ...).

What's the binary which is able to do this ?

zmc, zma, zms or zmu ? Or a *.pl file ?

I have seen this doc but it's too big for me :)

https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/st ... m-overview

Thanks a lot and have a nice day.

The API is the best way to control Zoneminder.

https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html

There are lots of examples and the doc explains how to get a key and how to pass it to Zoneminder and ask it to do things. Then you can write simple scripts to perform jobs safely.
