I don't see a binary that I can pipe video into and get motion detection / computer vision results from. For example, ffmpeg has its libraries (which ZM uses) and it also has the single executable which can do most (if not all) the same functions. OpenCV is only a library from what I can tell. Zonem...

zmuser is the default account used for Mariadb/mysql. You can always start over, if you have a backup. See: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/MySQL#Recreate_ZM_DB mysql -u root -p -e "drop database zm;" mysql -u root -p -e "create database zm;" mysql -u root -p zm < zmdb.sql mysql -u root -p -e "grant all...

Did you upgrade from 1.28 or earlier? See https://wiki.zoneminder.com/MySQL#IBData_files_Large Having ibd files too large can be from having the earlier DB format, MyISAM. Starting from 1.32, ZM uses innoDB which should avoid this issue. In ZoneMinder 1.28, I had an issue with the ibdata1 file in /v...

Did you set a custom storage area or are you using the default? The default is at /var/cache/zoneminder/events. Do you see videos there? If you set a custom storage area, did you set it up properly? See: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Using_a_dedicated_Hard_Drive What is not working? You haven't specif...

... I found that several directories inside /var/log related to ZoneMinder had filled the 120 GB root partition. I deleted all the contents of these log directories and rebooted the server. There's only one directory for buster: /var/log/zm/. Syslog also can fill up. Settings are adjusted in option...

The apache config seems to be missing a bit:

Compare that to Debian 1.34.

Don't forget to make a new filter for purgewhenfull on the storage area.

There is no need to create the /zoneminder/events folder. In fact, the paths don't look like that at all in custom storage (with default settings). See what one of my folders (/videos/One_10tb/) looks like: /videos/ ├── One_10tb │   ├── 10 │   │   ├── 2020-11-13 │   │   │   ├── 4263714 │   │   │   │...

I checked but the user manual doesn't detail the path... You can view the feed from the cameras webpage right? Usually if you right click the feed to view in a new window it's /mjpg/video.mjpg. What if you right click and open the 2nd feed in a new tab? Also sometimes it will announce a path when it...

Typically malformed images like this are due to the source settings being wrong in ZM. Probably wrong resolution.

Post camera settings, ZM source settings, and then try the video in ffmpeg or vlc. What do those output for video resolution and details?

Also, there is an issue with the DB creation on buster / devuan. It looks like whatever dpkg is doing in zoneminder.postinst is failing. What happens is that the numbers don't show in the web console for day,week,month, etc for a monitor. They do show totals. When I try to run the zm_create.sql I ge...

On debian 10 / devuan 3, in 1.35.20~20210309.53-buster I see the following error for libvncclient shared libraries: 03/12/21 21:57:43.790746 zmc_m2[8088].ERR-zm_libvnc_camera.cpp/26 [Error loading libvncclient: libvncclient.so: cannot open shared object file: No such> 03/12/21 21:57:43.790953 zmc_m2...

Does the camera work in ffmpeg or vlc?

... generic VPS, but you have to spec accordingly. .... AKA "not cheap" :D I'm not sure... I haven't done any rough calculations, but It's going to depend upon bandwidth. There are VPS providers with block storage slabs, where you can get 1TB for $5 a month along with a $4 a month VPS. So for about...

IMHO your going to need hosting that is dedicated to IP cam security. regular web hosting isnt going to cut it. a VPS ( virtual private server ) may work but it isnt going to be cheap. There's no reason you can't use a generic VPS, but you have to spec accordingly. You'll need a VPN, and a big enou...
