is there a way to not trigger motion events when a camera's IR turns on?

cittatva, min/max area

if motion affects, say, more than 10% of the image, ignore

that makes sense :)

thanks!

now to find that setting...

found it

is that min/max alarmed area?

0/

oi

hiya bhuddah

hey has anyone downloaded the latest zmNinja for desktop (or android) - I want to know if the new animated GIF creation option works for you

How new is the latest? I downloaded it two Saturdays ago

this was over the weekend

Oh, so I guess I need to update then

yeah, I'd love to know if the "animated GIF" works or if it crashes

Hey, I noticed that I could not archive an event from zmninja. Do I just not see how to do that or does the app not support that? Maybe I'm the only one who likes to archive events.

there is no API for that today https://github.com/pliablepixels/zmNinja/issues...

simple to add it though

Yeah, it should be

fortunately most people asking for zmN features don't know I also am supporting the ZM API layer, so I just tell them 'ZM doesn't do it' and I hide under a desk

looool

nice trick

morning

Does zoneminder have connection logs?

YellowGTO: check your web server

When adding a Monitor, there's no way to enter username:password for the RTSP stream?

And no way to define where the stream is to be recorded?

No way to specify a UDP RTSP stream? So the TCP overhead is fine?

Doesn't make sense.

quan: you have all the options that you mention

username and password you should add them to the stream url like this http://username:password@your_stream_url

joao: I did add UN:PW to Zoneminder, but it insisted on the hostname/IP only.

(in that space)

sorry, are you telling that after you save that, username and password simply dissapear?

No it gives an error.

what error?

Don't remember, I'll check.

all we have working machines running ZM like that

and if you want UDP this is from wiki.. "Unicast uses udp"

O, looks like yesterday I was trying to put UN:PW in the path. In the URL it works.

;)

Camera turns red still tho. Should a network camera putting out h264 be Source ffmpeg, libvlc, or Remote? Which is hardware accelerated for decode?

quan: most of the configurations that you do on ZM must match the settings that you have on the camera itself

The wiki is baffled when I search for "Unicast uses udp", "Unicast", or "UDP".

Ok, but my question isn't one of those settings.

If I'm not wrong, the most stable "source" is ffmpeg

Makes sense. Hope it'll be hardware accelerated as the CPU can decode h264.

Or should it be Remote...

It's not a capture card.

try with ffmpeg..

yeah ip cam right ?

Yes.

what version and branch are you running?

It's the EL7 packages.

Version : 1.30.0

Release : 4.el7.centos

I tried to compile the h264 passthrough version, but it's busted.

branch ? is master?

ok

Idk. It's the packages.

Hm, zmc has a core pegged. Something must be going on, although I have ZM set to UDP and the camera's putting out TCP.

How can I set where a monitor saves frames?

knnniggett: Thanks. I don't know how you guys find things in the wiki...

Google

He knows everything

:D

you can use nfs mounts as well

If you read the help text for Options -> Paths -> Events, it points you to the link I just gave you

s/Events/DIR_EVENTS/

knnniggett, unfortunately google know too much about each and every single one of us :/

You are being watched

tony1, my whole event and images and logs dirs are nfs mounts

yea works good

infact zm runs in a small VM with the bulk store being on zfs via nfs

+1

i do similar for my nextcloud

that runs again in a small VM img file

while in that case the whole www dir is an nfs mount

makes for vvvvv easy backup with snapshot and send

heehee, yea me as well. oc vm with raw disk. zfs snapshots
