Good morning

morning

ic0n_: Should we change Url() in Server.php to return nothing at all if $this->Hostname() is empty? Currently it returns ZM_BASE_PROTOCOL . '://'

I don't think it should return nothing. I think it should return ZM_BASE_PATH which should be either nothing or /zm or whatever is appropriate. I pushed a commit to do that, but havn't made a PR because I havn't tested it yet.

The State & fps values in watch.js are composed of "monitorUrl+thisUrl" ...thisUrl already contains the latter half of the url.

um...

API wise.... I tend to think that Server->Url() should give something like http://serverhostname/ZM_BASE_PATH in the multi-server case, and ZM_BASE_PATH in the non-multi-server case. So I am tempted to say that watch.js should be changed, but I'll need to review the code I guess.

Yeah, that makes sense

My roomba is not doing so well with my floor plan.

sorry for asking, been digging around for a day and cant seem to figure it out - my dlink 5010 disconnects every few minutes

running at 2.5fps, 5fps, etc. doesnt seem to change things

i took it off wireless, that only speed up the disconnects

2016-01-04 08:47:46.128606zmc_m22391ERRConnection dropped by remote endzm_remote_camera_http.cpp1048

any ideas?

Connection dropped by remote means the camera or network stopped responding. From the zonemidner server, place a continuous ping on the camera. Are any packets dropped?

i'll try that

no packets dropped while the signal did drop

i suspect its something in the protocol handler on the dlink tbh

someone mentioned on a random post that they adjusted the Mbps of their mjpeg stream to fix it on their axis camera, but ... didn't mention which way they adjusted or what the problem with their setting was in general. I've fiddled with it a little and it might be making a difference in terms of how long it takes to drop (every five minutes versus every three), but thats kind of subjective analysis at this point

I had to adjust that monitors Alarm Frame Count to 2 otherwise I was getting an event with every signal reacquire (completely blue frame)

while its fun to troubleshoot that thing... if anyone has a pointer to a nice set of wireless cameras for pointing at the outside and doing some inside work that works -well- with zoneminder, i'm all ears

Oo--oO I havent had any trobules with my dlinks... but then I haven't tried your model.

Oo--oO: While some like to use Wifi, I won't recommend Wifi for any surveillance application. You still have to get power to camera... use a powerline adapter if you really don't want to run a data cable.

knnniggett: I eliminated wifi from this for now

knnniggett, problem with powerline for a lot of people is the larger the house the larger the circuit zones. I cant use it on some of my circuits as they are on a diff sub circuit

morning

Hey! fixxxermet's back!

Here I am.

Had a family emergency mid-decemeber that I had to attend to, just getting back to things.

everything ok now?

more or less

a lot of family emergencies happen in December. Sucks.

I hope the new year goes better for you.

i'll poke around with higher levels of debug logging I think, I couldnt see anything different with just debugging on

thanks. I plan on making it a good one

It occurred to me today, that as I turn ZM into a fully distributed system... and as cameras become more powerful, we may reach a point where we don't need a ZM server. A ZM cloud service might be enough.

For some people I'm sure, but others (like myself) love running things in-house

ditto ... hi and hny fixxxermet btw

theres a bit of a high cost in sending every frame to the cloud for analysis

(not that I dont like sending all events to the cloud)

i'm trying older firmware on the dlink, i did upgrade that yesterday

zm cloud service would be an amazing paid for function. Maybe an API that runs on a host to connect them all? Or on the camera directly?

thats nice that they have all the back versions and a clean readme up

Mvandenboom: In that case, you can either move one of the circuit breakers up or down one slot in your panel, or you use two additional power adapters to combine the networks on each phase

yeah you could do that

In aperfect world, we would have zm running on the cameras themselves. zmcloud would just provide a nice UI to it, and reduced framerate event storage. For when someone steals your camera/server.

at that point the cost of running a cable should really be considered though

Oo--oO, agreed

Oo--oO: Running a data cable really is your best option.... that opens up the possibility of PoE too

ic0n_, most cameras these days have the api functionality already embedded. My American Dynbamics certainly do

i wish it solved this issue though, I was hoping it would

a wifi issue is easy to deal with (for me)

(and wired)

hrmph, similar.

the other camera (dlink 920) doesnt do this

it was every ten minutes or so up until something changed it to two-three minutes or so

thats the only real clue I have outside of the obvious logs

(and/or get ready for work)

Oo--oO: There are generally three interchangeable source types for modern IP cameras: remote/rtsp, libvlc, and ffmpeg. Try one of the other methods and see if that works better with your dlink

hi ic0n_ - wondering if you were planning to make 1.29 packages or will you wait till rc is over?

hola fixxxermet !

and why does the flat skin pull fonts and shait from google?

a lot of sites these days pull the open source google fonts from the google CDN. is that a bad thing? I guess it could be local too

Yes, that is a *very* bad thing.

Google are *very* bad people

hey asker, thought you were gone for a while?

fixxxermet - yep, I'm gone and here. The advantage of jet-lag

fixxxermet - you didn't think I'd really let you breathe easy for 2 weeks, did you :-p ?

silly me

shibboleth - looks like this line https://github.com/ZoneMinder/ZoneMinder/blob/m...

what happens if you comment it out? does it look acceptable?

it should fall back to other font families in the style order

i've blacklisted everything google from all endpoint firewalls, there is a noticable lags
