#zoneminder

Yeah, qemu, zen, and virtmanager are part of a long term goal for me to use that instead of virtualbox for all my development. It has the potential to be more efficient. Once I do that, I do intend to look into qemu's ability to emulate arm on x86.

Do you think it is possible to have one rpm or deb folder for all supported distros, using alternative packages. These guys do https://github.com/tarantool/build, but they have a lot less dependancies.

Note tarantool build is what I am forking to use to build packages using travis as I mentioned earlier in the week

Technical, yes, but to maintain my sanity...probably not. Combing redhat & fedora distro folders, for example, would make things very hard to read. Most of the config files are different between distros since el6 uses init, while the rest use systemd. I'd rather keep it the way it is.

No worries I can make a way to pick the right folder for distro

Occasionally, I come across an RPM specfile where the author has tried to make it compatible across rpm distros, and it looks like someone threw up into. Very difficult to see what is going on because every line or block starts with a check to see what the target distro is.

one that does deal with systemd and init https://github.com/tarantool/tarantool/blob/1.8...

Yeah, that specfile is very organized.

anyone know how to make a foscam actually limit it's fps? It seems to be ignoring the settings on the camera

Yes.

Is it an old mjpeg or the newer h264?

nweer h264

I'm using /videoMain as the path

oh, I just set it in the camera for my 9821

yeah I've set it to 10 fps, but it is sending 30

With the older mjpegs, you could sneak in the frame rate into the url, but I have not had to do that for the newer models

The older cameras accepted the parameter "?rate=11" in the url, but those cameras used videostream.cgi

ic0n: what is the model of the camera?

9853EP

Looks like you can request the API documentation by contacting foscam: http://foscam.us/forum/new-sdk-cgi-application-...

Titler: Foscam Forum • View topic - New SDK/CGI Application

That is how I figured out the url paramters for the older cameras. Maybe they document the same thing for the newer cameras

Lots of PR’s to merge.

Docker I am doing as already broke

#1565 if anyone wants to

And onlyjobs spelling one as altaroca cannot spell occurrence

Oh Canada!!

phew he’s back

knnniggett: I am merging minor SR’s only, aka no real code

spelling, docker, carriage return in zmupdate

famous last words.

Have we talked about the Friday afternoon rule?

:-)

It is Saturday morning?

Ah crap

I forgot you are in the future

someone broke your package

what? where?

#1569

so you can also tell them about posting rules

figures. I'm headed into a meeting. I will have to wait

s/I/it/

ic0n: got any major architectural changes to make? knnniggett will be gone for a bit so I am unsupervised

hey nice one

hi how to use different folder for the events

i followed wiki "Using a dedicated Hard Drive"

but it is writing to both the folders new and the one in /var/lib/zoneminder

chandoo, what are you trying to do ?

zm has symlinks for the events folder

how is it writing to both ?

ah no ... youre visiting and listing files via two paths

chandoo, ^^^

ic0n: our versioning still makes my head explode

I think I need to articulate some scenarios and we document the process

jzaw: i followed this link

if i remove the events folder under /var/lib/zoneminder/ i am getting error during mount -a

i see both folders of similar size

new folder and the folder under /var/lib

how to overwrite the events

you can mount them with nfs

tony1: i have space in /home, so i am preventing it to write to / which is filling up fast. i guess it will be better if i put seperate 2tb hard drive for events and images.

I was just saying is that you can create nfs mounts for /var/cache/zoneminder/images and events

i think it is writing to /home. i don't see / filling up

make sure they are empty and mount them before ZM starts

for now i have space in /home

i am doing du -sk /var/lib/zoneminder/events

and same command on /home/zoneminder/events

think about what I said, it will work nice

both shows same size, i am not sure my command make sense

okay

tony1: why is video choppy in zoneminder, where as same rtsp command in vlc video is smooth

do i have to do any tuning?

whats the load? reduce FPS in the cam settings 8-10 FPS is nice for me and try Target colorspace = 32 bit

25.6 fps

asker: Ah OK thanks - any way to work around that?

if i reduce the FPS video becomes more choppy right?

let me try

chandoo: I think 8-10 FPS is good for me and will cut load in half probably

25 is to high in my opinion and should be done in the camera settings not ZM

tony1: does it goes under "Maximum FPS"

no in the camera settings interface

oh

IP camera correct?

tony1: my problem is bit wired, before ZM i am using with NVR, during last power outage NVR partially died

VGA, SATA port and mouse are not working, only network module board is working in NVR

i have 4 POE

i don't know how to login into cameras and what the username and password are

yes IP camera

funny part is right now i see date as 1970

you probably should be able to access the camera setup utility and reduce the frame rate there I would think.

since VGA is not working in NVR not sure how to reset the date in cameras

for me you reset the date in the camera utility or disable it all together

before i use to set everything through NVR interface

the model i have is SANNCE

I don't know but I gave you a few ideas that work for me and my IP cameras

last night when i am playing with cameras, i noticed one of the port is prompting for login, i tried what i have but didn't work, i have to hack them this week end

what camera utility you use

i know each camera has its own OS and runs apache in it

mine has some active-x junk that connects to make changes like date,time, FPS etc

you probably have something similar maybe?

'lo

Has anyone had trouble installing zoneminder from the ppa on ubuntu (15.10)? It seems to have installed successfully, but I can't find zoneminder anywhere

ooh it's just a service heh

:( Unable to probe network cameras, status is '255'

tony1: i have same active-x junk, but it needs windows IE browser 8 or something, which i dont have

but i am determined to get into the ip cam and change settings

ThePendulum: what cameras you have

I setup xp home in a VM so I can change my settings. https://sourceforge.net/projects/onvifdm/ works ok as well

chandoo: ^

good idea, will do the same, thanks for the tip

I disable allot in the camera settings like location/time stamps etc and have not been in the cam settings in a very long time

chandoo: Eminent EM6350, the camera itself is decent but on hindsight I probably should've spent more time researching software solutions

because the entire Eminent brand doesn't really exist to third party software

that said, it is ONVIF certified, not sure why zoneminder is having trouble finding it

or it does find it, but then can't probe it apparently
