Hi, every one,

Is it possible to use a mobile phone to see the zoneminder live view?

Yes, and no. Have you read the Mobile Devices section of the README (http://www.zoneminder.com/fileadmin/dow ... c133652213) which details the background.

You can view still images of the live feeds and/or videos of recorded events but not currently video of live feeds.

Hi, Phil,

After reading thd section you pointed out, I'd like to consult 2 more questions.

1) Is it possible to achieve the live feeds under the XHTML-MP? If this is possible, I'd like to wait your implementaion.

2) If not, could WML2.0 achieve the live feeds?

Any way, I really appreciate your unselfish to offer your work. Thanks!

Assuming you mean live _video_ feeds then no not currently. I am working on a solution using Darwin Streaming Server but it is a few weeks away at the earliest.

Not really. The problem with live video is not the markup language but rather the generation of a 3gp compatible stream for live images. The only advantage that wml2 would have is that scripting is available so you could use timed still image refreshes. I have not yet come across a device that supports wml2. A lot say they support wap2 but that usually just means xHTML-MP rather than wml2 itself.

Thanks, Phil,

Yap, I mean live_video_feeds.

I googled the Darwin Streaming Server after reading your reply and I found some infomation. Hope this will help.

Thanks. The streaming server itself is not the main issue. The only real problem is getting images from ZM memory into DSS without having to mess around with writing them to disk or other inefficiency.

Thanks, Phil,

It's too difficult for me. We'll wait your success.

Hi, Phil,

Does the live_video_feeds work for mobile phone now? I can't wait to try this fancy function!
Thanks for your work!

I put a refresh meta tag "<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30" />" in my zm_xhtml_view_watch.php file and it refreshes the image just fine. I've got a motorola pebl u6, which supports xhtml. It's slow, but at least you don't have to manually refresh the page constantly and can at least get an idea of what's going on.
