ZoneMinder Forums

I was looking around for Security Camera software for linux.. mostly Slackware.

Since i am looking at installing systems for home use as well a small com apps..

One install i was looking at was for a med size gas station

4x motion control camera's for each pump island (color)
2x till camera's motion control possible (color)
1x store back IR bw or low light motion control (color)
2x general store camera's (color)

possibly
1x manager's office motion control camera (color)

i could go bw camera's for general store as well as mangers office camera's ....


i had a couple question's

(1) are there and sound options for said camera evens??
(2) the ability to write camera footage to cdrw dvrw or special hd DIR on a timer like every 48 hours or soo.. like alot of dvr systems do now it seems..
(3) using ZoneMinder on a commerial bases to customers of course a Donation Fee will be applied to this and forwarded to proper ZoneMinder Officials ???
(4) any lists of cature card, PTZ, and other hardware that will work well with ZoneMinder and linux eg: slackware kernel 2.6.12.2 or any 2.6.xx kernels of slackware?

if any have a simullar scheme let me know
If ZoneMinder works for me and any customers as i say the worm will turn

(1) There is no sound in the pesent version but this is planned as I understand on the next major release.
(2) Yes it could be scripted and setup in a cron job to write to a device.
(3) I'm sure Phil would appreciate this.
(4) you can find this information here in the forum Hardware Compatibility List but no real list has been assembled.

thank you very much

i might have to get some more hardware and start playing around with it some more....

Id love to use something linux based that could be upgraded in the future instead of dead end stuff i read up on all the time lol


plus i can pipe music threw the store over the same machine as well

Jazz and old-old rock the stuff that makes me crawl lol

ps: if i get to the point of scripting time sche for video files would there be any to help me out a little


As well if i get a fully opterational sys up and running in a practicle enviorment ill for sure share the sysy specs and config that a for sure

I have two systems currently running with slackware 10 and 10.1 with the 2.4 series kernels. I can backup video to CD or DVD (and have done so for the cops). They run excellently, although slack's syntax is different than most distros and requires a small change to the code in order to work perfectly.
