Sabayon Linux with ZM 1.22.3 Step-by-Step

2012-05-15T15:26:20Z

Archersg: /* What is Sabayone Linux? */

http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/9420/sabayonzmiv7.jpg

Hi together,

here's a HowTo for installing ZM 1.22.3 on Sabayon Linux 3.2.

This is by the way the fastest methode to get a working ZM.

I've needed less then 1,5 hours for installing Sabayon and ZoneMinder.

== What is Sabayone Linux? ==

SabayonLinux is based on the source-based distro named Gentoo - http://gentoo.org. Gentoo is a highly customizable distro which we have used as our base and using their excellent development techniques, we have created a pre-configured distribution with the tenets of Performance, Versatility, and Stability. If you have any more question about what Gentoo is and its philosophy, please visit their website.

== Home of Sabayon Linux ==

http://www.sabayonlinux.org/
----

== Preparation ==
Download the [http://www.sabayonlinux.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=27 Sabayon Linux miniEdition], burn it, and install it.

== Installing ZM ==
Open a Terminal and do the following Steps:

'''# emerge --sync

'''# emerge portage

'''# emerge zoneminder

== Configure MySQL ==

1.] Edit the '''/etc/mysql/my.cnf'''

Search for:

'''bind-address = 127.0.0.1'''

and change it to:

'''# bind-address = 127.0.0.1'''

http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/1903/lehrergs6.gif Otherwise you don't have permission for remote access on your MySQL Database.

2.] Type this:

'''# /etc/init.d/mysql start'''

'''# mysql_install_db '''

'''# cd /usr '''

'''# /usr/bin/mysqld_safe & '''

=> Now MySQL is ready for use.

== Create the MySQL Database for ZoneMinder ==

Type this:

'''# cd /usr/share/zoneminder'''

'''# mysql mysql < db/zm_create.sql '''

'''# mysql mysql '''

''' mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON zm.* TO 'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass'; '''

''' mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON zm.* TO 'zmuser'@'%' identified by 'zmpass'; '''

''' mysql> quit '''

'''# mysqladmin reload '''

== Configure ZoneMinder ==

Edit the '''/etc/zm.conf'''

Change

'''# ZM_PATH_BUILD=/var/tmp/portage/www-misc/zoneminder-1.22.3/work/ZoneMinder-1.22.3'''

to

'''ZM_PATH_BUILD=/usr/share/zoneminder'''

change

'''ZM_PATH_WEB=/usr/share/webapps/zoneminder/1.22.3/htdocs'''

to

'''ZM_PATH_WEB=/var/www/localhost/htdocs/zoneminder'''

change

'''ZM_PATH_CGI=/usr/share/webapps/zoneminder/1.22.3/hostroot/cgi-bin'''

to

'''ZM_PATH_CGI=/var/www/localhost/cgi-bin'''

== Misc ==

1.] Starting Apache Webserver

'''# /etc/init.d/apache2 start'''

2.] Put the Apache Webserver into Runlevel "default"

'''# rc-update -a apache2 default'''

3.] Put MySQL into Runlevel "default"

'''# rc-update -a mysql default'''

http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/1903/lehrergs6.gif
If want to check which Daemon is runing on which Runlevel, type:

'''# rc-update -s'''

http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/1903/lehrergs6.gif
If you want ZoneMinder should starting automaticly on each Start, type:

'''# rc-update -a zoneminder default'''

== Starting ZoneMinder ==

'''# /etc/init.d/zoneminder start'''

== Testing ZoneMinder ==

Open a Webbrowser an type:

'''http://<IP_of_your_ZM-Machine>/zoneminder'''

If everthing went all right, you sould see something like this:

http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/7439/zm199el8.jpg

== Installing Cambozola ==

If you want to use [http://www.charliemouse.com/code/cambozola/index.html Cambozola], type this:

'''# emerge dev-java/ant'''

'''# cd /usr/local/src '''

'''# wget http://www.charliemouse.com/code/cambozola/cambozola-latest.tar.gz '''

'''# tar xvfz cambozola-latest.tar.gz '''

'''# cp /usr/local/src/cambozola-0.68/dist/cambozola.jar /var/www/localhost/htdocs/zoneminder'''

'''# chmod 775 /var/www/localhost/htdocs/zoneminder/cambozola.jar '''

Then under: '''Options --> Images''' enable '''ZM_OPT_CAMBOZOLA'''

That's all, now you can configure your ZoneMinder, --> have fun.

I hope it was helpfull.

AxisMotionDetection

2012-05-15T15:25:50Z

Archersg: /* Cameras */

I had this performance problem while monitoring and event recording for 8-10 IP cameras using the ZM.
ZM is too good a software to abandon just for performance issues. So I decided I should pay more attention to the motion detection feature of the cameras I have and relieve the ZM server from the task of detecting motion.
I've finally managed to use the on-camera motion detection feature of Axis Cams and here are my notes:

== Cameras ==

I've set my Axis camera as follows:

[[Image:AxisMDetect1.png]]
[[Image:AxisMDetect2.png]]

The text "1|on 5|5|cause|text|showtext" means that
alarm will be triggered for the monitor which has ID=1,
alarm will set recording on
alarm will be cleared after 5 seconds.
The score of the alarm is 5 ( any score >0 is OK)
"text" and "showtext" are just explanatory notes.

The ZM specs tells us that the format of the message can include a "duration" as long as the message is sent as:
"1|on+5|5|cause|text|showtext" bu the problem is the Axis camera cannot or will not save the "+" sign which appears in the message. A CGI parameter conversion problem I presume...

More of this can be seen at [http://slammerz.info Band In Cirencester]

I've taken care of this "+" problem with a small modification in zmtrigger.pl source (see below).

Next, I specified the host IP address of the zm computer and its default zmtrigger port of 6802.

[[Image:AxisMDetect3.png]]
[[Image:AxisMDetect4.png]]

The second important setup is the "motion detection" setup on the Axis. I created a window which covers the area of interest; kept the object size as small as possible, pulled the history slider all the way back to zero and left the sensitivity slide somewhere past the %50 value.

== ZM settings ==

There is no special setting for the ZM except that I've assigned the "Nodect" function to my camera monitor.

[[Image:AxisMDetect5.png]]

Finally, I modified the zmtrigger.pl file so that the first few lines of the
function handleMessage looks like this:

Code:
sub handleMessage{
my $connection = shift;
my $message = shift;
#
# CUA - Axis camera send the message quoted with"
# CUA - Also Axis camera cannot save the plus sign which
# CUA - possibly exists in the 1|on+20|score|cause|text|showtext formatted msg

$message=~ s/^\"//g;
$message=~ s/\"$//g;
$message=~ s/on /on\+/;

# CUA - end of modifications

my ( $id, $action, $score, $cause, $text, $showtext ) = split( /\|/, $message );

a few other modifications I made in the zmtrigger.pl file are commenting out some unused modules and pushes:

Code:
use ZoneMinder::Trigger::Channel::Inet;
#CUA use ZoneMinder::Trigger::Channel::Unix;
#CUA use ZoneMinder::Trigger::Channel::Serial;
use ZoneMinder::Trigger::Connection;

my @connections;
push( @connections, ZoneMinder::Trigger::Connection->new( name=>"Chan1", channel=>ZoneMinder::Trigger::Channel::Inet->new( port=>6802 ), mode=>"rw" ) );
#CUA push( @connections, ZoneMinder::Trigger::Connection->new( name=>"Chan2", channel=>ZoneMinder::Trigger::Channel::Unix->new( path=>'/tmp/test.sock' ), mode=>"rw" ) );
#push( @connections, ZoneMinder::Trigger::Connection->new( name=>"Chan3", channel=>ZoneMinder::Trigger::Channel::File->new( path=>'/tmp/zmtrigger.out' ), mode=>"w" ) );
#CUA push( @connections, ZoneMinder::Trigger::Connection->new( name=>"Chan4", channel=>ZoneMinder::Trigger::Channel::Serial->new( path=>'/dev/ttyS0' ), mode=>"rw" ) );

my modifs are marked with "# CUA"

These three regular expressions remove the quotes sent by Axis which envelope the message string and insert a plus sign if the "on" command is followed by a space). These 3 statements convert an incoming message of the form

Code:
"1|on 25|5|cause|text|showtext"

to

Code:
1|on+25|5|cause|text|showtext

and of course, you shouln"t forget to restart zmtrigger.pl; or better still modify the zm startup script so that it starts zmtrigger.pl everytime zm is [re]started.

I added the line '/usr/bin/zmtrigger.pl &" in the start section of
/etc/init.d/zoneminder and also added the line "pkill zmtrigger.pl" in the stop section.

Code:

start() {
echo -n "Starting $prog: "
$command start
# CUA
/usr/bin/zmtrigger.pl &

RETVAL=$?
[ $RETVAL = 0 ] && echo success
[ $RETVAL != 0 ] && echo failure
echo
[ $RETVAL = 0 ] && touch /var/lock/zm
return $RETVAL
}
stop() {
echo -n $"Stopping $prog: "
#
# Why is this status check being done?
# as $command stop returns 1 if zoneminder
# is stopped, which will result in
# this returning 1, which will stuff
# dpkg when it tries to stop zoneminder before
# uninstalling . . .
#
# CUA
pkill zmtrigger.pl

I just hope that this helps other people trying to implement the on-camera motion detection with ZM.

Again; many thanks to those people who developed ZM at the first place and to those who helped it to become a perfect opensource project.
