hm, maybe its possible to connect the modect from ZM with a PIR?
something like "if motion detect go into hot-stdby and wait for the PIR signal (over the api)"
knnniggett
Yes, assuming your PIR has a relay output, you could wire the relay to an esp8266 or some other microntroller capable of transmitting a message over ethernet.
mfu
knnniggett: the PIR is in the cam, the cam can send http-rquests
..if PIR was triggered
knnniggett
Yeah, that should work. Even easier
mfu
hm, how?
cant se something like triggers / except x10 in zm
knnniggett
If the camera can send http requests, then you would stick that URL you mentioned earlier into the camera and tell it to call that url when motion occurs
The camera has to have the ability to do an http get or put upon motion
mfu
yeah, but with this, Zm is forcing the alarm
i need the modect from zm + PIr from cam for false positiv
just record if PIR + MODECT are active
knwo what i mean?
knnniggett
Oh you want zoneminder to record if both are alarmed
I can't think of a way to do that off hand
mfu
yeah, because ZMs zones are much better to define
knnniggett
If you could somehow activate a specific motion zone via the API then your normal motion zone would be set to Inclusive... that might do it, but I'm not sure the API can active a zone
mfu
cam can define zones too.. but ...crap
the problem is.. if i define i zone over the api.. the zmc/zma process is restarting and need some time to calibrate
knnniggett
Yeah, you the ability to trigger the zone (as opossed to a monitor) rather than create the zone
I'm not sure you can do that currently
mfu
ah ok
but this could be simple to solve
knnniggett
Yeah, maybe. We would accept a pull request adding the functionality.:-)
mfu
in modect just look/wait for a entry in the db/or file
if my C/C++ knowledge will be better..
hm but maybe i can modify zmtrigger
its just perl
::d
knnniggett
Well, you'd start in the Cake PHP framework to define a new hook. Then it might be a call to zmtrigger.
My guess is that it would be very similar to how you trigger an alarm

nay ideas how to leave the telnet session from zmtrigger.pl? :)
