Hi,

Just have a couple of questions.

I have just done a fresh install of 5.5.

I have just purchased some wireless swann cameras that output to svideo. I have a dvico plus card with a analogue in which im hoping will work to get the signal.

I am going to try and set up zoneminder or motion.

1. My question is if zoneminder on 5.5 is a full install or do you need zoneminder on another computer for it to work.

2. Why is there motion and zoneminder. If I configure does clicking motion start zoneminder.

3. If zoneminder is the full program in the setup menu do i just put the ip address of my machine?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, After lots of research I think I understand a little. Im still not sure what difference is between motion and zoneminder but i have it working kind of.

I can start motion but it freezes my computer and i cant stop my computer. I Hit the power button on the computer and when i check my images I see that motion was working and recording my movements. I just cant stop it once it starts.

I got Zoneminder working from a windows machine useing my backend ip address/zm. I can see a gray scale picture when i set up the monitor but the records etc dont work. I cant set zones.

I still am not sure what ip address to put in zoneminder setup if im using zoneminder on my backend. Has anyone had this working.

Hi,

There has been some discussion on motion and zoneminder, maybe you can gleen the info you seek in one of these.

Motion,Basically working
http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... r=asc&sta$

ZoneMinder / MythZoneMinder *working*
http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... d=5f00bdf$

I got the web part working locally by doing this:

#!/bin/sh
#tweaks for zoneminder
#
#http://www.howtoforge.com/video_surveillance_zoneminder_ubuntu
adduser www-data video
ln -s /etc/zm/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/zoneminder.conf
/etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload
/etc/init.d/zonminder start
echo "ZoneMinder should be launchable http://localhost:port/zm"
echo "It will not be restarted on a reboot, one can set it to run using webmin"

Now in iceweasle going to localhost/zm brings the control page forward.

It should be installable on R5F27 and work but I have not made it work with my bttv878 chips in R5.5 :(
