= nice!

oh i shoot the raw img files separately ... mostly i just snapshot the bulk storage zdevs

I shutdown the vm once in a while and zfs snapshot the zvol. if I have an issue I can roll back

it works nice, saved me a few times

i was just starting to think about how i'm going to get this working again if it blows up.

pliablepixels around?

yeah tony1 youre doing it right ... shutting the vm down

but things like the bulk storage of nextcloud ... you lock the db back that up ... then just snapshot the file store

jzaw: allot of ways to do it. I just snapshot the whole thing, db files and all. its a small install.

yeah

just that i dont have to shut the vm down to do thta

thats the only problem really. you need to shut down before the ss

i have a small script that powers up my backup server ... rsync's the db, snaps the zfs zdev, thus shuts down the backup box

s/thus/then

I rsync to a low powered arm device but someday is will be zfs s/r to another server but for now it works well

send / receive is powerful and not documented as well as it could be

send/receive - is that part of zfs?

yea

zoneminder featyre?

ok

i really need to check out zfs... i keep hearing good things

I like it! I also like ZM

try nas4free 11 it works well but there are other options like ubuntu and the new zfs module

Can't figure out what the right Remote Host Path should be.

It's not https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Hikvision_DS_2CD273...

yes zoneminder works now!

LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so was not loaded -.-

... or what actually works in VLC: /h264/ch1/main/av_stream?udp

quan: per the instructions in the link, use a source type or ffmpeg (or libvlc), not Remote

Yes using ffmpeg.

quan: No you aren't. "Remote Host Path" does not appear as a field when using ffmpeg

Check that: Source Path

... is what I'm trying.

(sry)

In journalctl "ERR [Unable to open input /live.sdp/ due to: No such file or directory]"

I don't own any Hikvisions, but have you tried the ONVIF probe?

No, how?

i got zm 1.3, 2 different hikvision and onvif does the job

Open a monitor and in the top right corner, you should see a link "ONVIF"

Sorry.... Edit a monitor

Hang on, should Source path include *both* the host and path?

I don't see anywhere else to put the host.

It should be the same thing as the url you type into VLC

"ERR [Unable to open input admin:secret@frontcam://live.sdp/ due to: Success]"

Huh?

Still nothing in the images dir.

It's under the impression that it's capturing around 250fps (huh>), yet the same success error.

over and over

look in your cameras UI and see what Resolution you have it set at an use that in ZM

you may need to restart ZM

VLC will report the correct resolution to use too. Plus that is an excellent way to verify you typed in the RTSP url correctly

K.

I may be close. My server's firewall is suddenly getting hammered with a million UDP requests from the camera port 8312

Makes sense as UDP is stateless.

cittatva - you called?

so cittatva - still facing event server issues ? only on IOS? how about desktop version of zmNinja?

oh i didn't know about the desktop version - i guess that'd be a good thing to try

yeah, just give it a shot - maybe I broke something on iOS

i have a meeting in a few minutes, but i'll give that a shot as soon as i can.

but also, are you not receiving any notifications in ios?

Well now ZM is analyzing at a reasonable ~15fps. Before at 250, I guess that's free-running indicating it's not connected.

(camera's 20fps)

the websocket will get disconnect when you move to background - that is where APNS should come in cittatva

one other data point about the error that I don't know if it made it into the logs i sent, I'm seeing some logs in zoneminder about failed authentication about the time when i enable events

aha

well, I don't see any logs in zmeventserver either receiving a registration from zmNinja so thats odd

i fiddled with permissions on /etc/zoneminder/tokens.txt and certs, but haven't gotten it to connect yet

does tokens.txt have any data?

Still no ripping video in the images dir, even though set to Mocord.

didn't last night -checking

nope, no data. currently www-data:www-data 0777

/etc/private/tokens.txt ubuntu xenial

yeah so for whatever reason, zmN is NOT sending any data over websocket (like registration) - looks like connection is dropping

so please install the destkop version of zmN and give it a spin and see if its registering

if it is, then I broke something in iOS (I have a long history of breaking perfectly functional stuff)

ok, will do; might not be able to before i get home tonight.

yeah no worries - I'll be here on IRC tomorrow too

(east coast time - just ping my handle - I may not be paying attention)

"WAR [Buffer overrun at index 39, image 11739, slow down capture, speed up analysis or increase ring buffer size]"

Which buffer? The kernel, UDP, or ZoneMinder's?

quan: ZM's

Monitor -> buffer tab

Ty

Nothing is identified as "Ring Buffer". Maybe it's Image Buffer Size".

50 frames now...

I guessed 100, and now the Source went yellow?

Clearing the log, doesn't actually clear it I see.

yup, immage buffer size is it.

Give it a minute and if the monitor doesn't go green, lower the buffer some

Ah yes, thx

Make sure you didn't full up your ramdisk with that change: df -lh /dev/shm

In my case it seems to be shm. 25%

... that means it's consuming 1GB

But there is still nothing in my images dir, even though I'm on mocord.

Not sure what you are looking for ...events are stored in the folder named events

O. As it's recording all the time I thought there should be images.

Maybe those are snapshots?

Anyone know the URL for a Samsung with microphone?

Is it rtsp://ip_address/profile2/media.smp ?

Mine's a PNO9080R

Use the onvif probe to find the url

Oooo, nice.

You can also use the Onvif Device Manager to find it if you've got a Windows pc handy: https://sourceforge.net/projects/onvifdm/

Linux only here.

oh, I think I might have got it working. I copied my certs out of /etc/ssl/private into another location, and set the owner to www-data:www-data.

i don't know why it wasn't working previously, since it was root:www-data 0660

even 0640 should have worked, i think

cittatva, only the private key is supposed to be stored in /private, apache reads those files as root before dropping privs/shifting

I can't decrypt onvif probe. # zmonvif-probe.pl -v profiles frontcam 1.1 admin secret

no transport class found for scheme <frontcam> at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/SOAP/WSDL/Factory/Transport.pm line 83.

1.2 gives the same.

you have to issue a "sudo zmonvif-probe.pl probe" first to get the profile names.... you do know you can do this from the web console, right?

I did issue a probe bit it came up empty for both soaps. I have a very tight firewall though, so don't know if it needs a special port.

quan: it should probe on the http port

probably a camera firmware thing? it does not work with my cheep cams but other onvif utilities do

All I get is Probing for SOAP 1.1, Probing for SOAP 1.2

Two cameras are out there.

Looks like zmonvif-probe isn't for me. Hik and Samsung cameras.

If you mean a software firewall, then turn it off for a moment. The machine needs to be able to see multicast hello messages.

This is the initial release of our onvif probe. The next release has some improvements to it

Aw crap, I did something wrong. Turning off my firewall cut off the remote machine.

zmonvif-probe.pl probe 192.168.1.123

should return something like http://192.168.1.123:80/onvif/device_service, 1.2,

no need for sudo from what I can see

I think ZM may follow bad links in the camera firmware but I am just taking a guess

You absolutely need to be sudo.... otherwise zoneminder can't read zm.conf (he is on centos 7)

ahh

-rw-r----- 1 root apache 1.3K Feb 4 2016 /etc/zm/zm.conf

with or with out sudo I get Can't call method "GetProfiles" on an undefined value at /usr/bin/zmonvif-probe.pl line 238

I think it is my chhep cams and something with the firmware / bad link in the firmware

no big deal just trying to pass information

might be. Did you try the lastest from the master branch? We made several imrpovements

no I did not, I don't know how to compile it. I know that sounds lame

maybe I will try tomorrow. I always hated building. LOL

Best way is to build a package... we've got instructions on our redtehdocs site for both debian/ubuntu and centos/fedora

readthedocs

come on fingers

my stuff works, just trying to help

With firewall completely open, still no soap with onvif probe.

# zmonvif-probe.pl -v probe

Probing for SOAP 1.1

Probing for SOAP 1.2

HikVision DS-2CD2632F-IS, and top-of-the-line Samsung PNO-9080R

I'll guess at the Samsung's rtsp line.
