zoneminder-videomonitoring on sme 6.0.1-01 + updatescript
« on: January 13, 2005, 04:55:16 PM »
Hi, if anyone is interested in videomonitoring zoneminder is the right prog for you. I have done a test with the live cd an it works great, but i dont want to use a 2nd server, i like to install it on my fileserver  :-)

The problem is i am not a linuxguru, so i need help from you please. There are my questions:

I like to know is it possible to install zoneminder 1.19.5 (www.zoneminder.com) on SME and has SME the Requirements by default ?

I like to install it in an ibay called zoneminder, where are the right paths for the building:

./configure --with-mysql=<your MySQL root> --with-webdir=<your web directory> --with-cgidir=<your cgi directory>

regards

I've used Zoneminder quite a lot - but never on an SME server.  Main problem is that there ain't no X-Server!

What I do is simply put Zoneminder onto another box -Slackware, in my case - and then pipe the output through the SME server.  That way the SME server is not soaked doing all the video processing and the Zoneminder box is carefully hidden from prying eyes!

---Just my take on it, you know!

Regards,

Dave

hi all!
if you wait 3-4 days, you will have a rpm...
zm-1.20.1-sme60_1.i386.rpm
i must wait for the last version of zm (1.20.1) because there are lots of bugs in 1.20
so I use zoneminder on SME6 since 6 months (with 1.19.5), I make a howto in french for install manually ...(but it's long)..  
the last version works fine, there are no prb on install with my rpm
but you must install lot of dependances ...
lame, ffmpeg, perl-Archive, perl-*, Xlibs  
for the 1.20.1 you must upgrade php ...
X10, FTP, mails, stream, it run with my beta-rpm  
so, wait the last week...  :-D

Congratulations chaapai.
I am anxious to test your rpm version.  
I have proven to compile it and it has worked without problems, alone that the files zm.config in / usr/local/etc has you nest that to place it in the position of the other files and to change some lines in the file zmconfig.php.  
I have not been able to compile ffmpeg to be able to include in zoneminder.  
I have not also still been able to start zoneminder from the web. :hammer:

hello all !

you can access to my RPM here :
ftp://userftp:userftp@chaapai.homelinux.net/SME/video/zoneminder/zoneminder-1.20.1/
there are rpm, srpm, an script to install libs .
so just do a:
./install_zm-1.20.1.sh
tested on sme6.1.
so, you must have php >= 4.3.9, so upgrade php....

Thanks chaapai.
Script run ok but some issues:
I capture some screen from my putty.

1)
15:53:00 (23.82 KB/s) - perl-MIME-tools-5.411-2.dag.rh73.noarch.rpm' saved [380904]

error: failed dependencies:
        perl-MIME-tools >= 5.411a is needed by amavis-ng-0.1.6.4-03dc
        perl-MIME-tools >= 5.411a is needed by sme-antivirus-1.1.0-1
installation correcte ?

2)
File perl-TimeDate-2.22-1.noarch.rpm' already there, not retrieving.
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
package perl-TimeDate-2.22-1 is already installed

3)

error: failed dependencies:
        zlib = 1.1.4 is needed by zlib-devel-1.1.4-8.7x

4) When i loged in zoneminder, hit "option" and I didn't see anything below options items, and the message "Unknown MySQL error".
Then I execute perl zminit and I see option now, but can not run zoneminder service again.

I have standard installation box SME 6.0.1-01 and MySQL 4.1.8

5) In the script you repeat two times perl-TimeDate-2.22-1.noarch.rpm

Thanks for your effort and share your knowledeg

Sorry for my english

Thanks chaapai !

Thank you for your work  :-D , i have done a test with a Hauppauge ImpactVCB card and my camcorder and it works good, but i can only use one port. I found this in the  zoneminder forum:

After lots of playing around and experimentation I've managed to get 2 Hauppauge ImpactVCB cards working in the same system, with 4 ports on each card. The problem is bttv autodetects the card as Card=10. After looking through the bttv gallery at http://www.bttv-gallery.de/ I found this card also listed as an Osprey card, Card=82. The card also works as a 4 port Grandtec
Card=77. All use the same 878A Capture chip.

For multiple cards add this to your /etc/modprobe.conf
options bttv card=82,82 tuner=4,4
Also I think bttv has a limit of 4 cards per system, although I haven't actually tried this many.

Make sure all of the cameras connected to one card are set to the same resolution, and the same "Capture Palette". ie: B&W Cameras on one card, colour on the other.

If you are looking for a reliable source for these cards in North America, try http://www.fgeng.com/. Cards are $69USD, plus taxes and shipping.
For Canadians, they ship from within Canada, and the last one I ordered arrived in 4 days.
Don't expect top of the line performance from this card, as there is only one capture chip.

Where can i find the modprobe.conf ?

thanks
