Ubuntu Server 16.04 64-bit with Zoneminder 1.32.x the easy way

2015-10-29T20:13:57Z

Ccjames9:

For Ubuntu 15.10 with default Zoneminder 1.28.1

Install Ubuntu 15.10 from the server CD with LAMP. If you use the minimum setup disk install basic server and LAMP. You may configure a static IP address for you server. Learn how to do this elsewhere.

Become root

sudo su

Install Zoneminder

apt-get install zoneminder

Create Zoneminder database in MySQL (Note: this also creates the default Zoneminder user and permissions in MySQL)

This next step creates a file which contained the MySQL user and password. Otherwise you will have to enter the user and password on teh command line which is not secure!

Go to the root directory

cd ~

Create a hidden password file

nano .my.cnf

Enter this content (but use your MySQL root password!)

[client]
user=root
password=(mysqlpass)

Ctrl+o Enter to save

CTRL+x to exit

Create database (press ENTER after each command)

mysql < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql

mysql -e "grant select,insert,update,delete,create on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass';"

Remove password file

rm .my.cnf

Set permissions of /etc/zm/zm.conf to root:www-data 740

chmod 740 /etc/zm/zm.conf

chown root:www-data /etc/zm/zm.conf

Enable Zoneminder service to start at boot

systemctl enable zoneminder.service

Create a new user

adduser www-data video

Start Zoneminder

systemctl start zoneminder.service

Check to see that Zoneminder is running

systemctl status zoneminder.service

Enable CGI and Zoneminder configuration in Apache.

a2enmod cgi

a2enmod rewrite

a2enconf zoneminder

Restart Apache

service apache2 restart

Open Zoneminder in web browser

http://serverip/zm

Enable ffmpeg

Open Zoneminder in a web browser, Go to options (top right) Go to Images

OPT_FFMPEG Is the ffmpeg video encoder/decoder installed (?) Tick

PATH_FFMPEG Path to (optional) ffmpeg mpeg encoder (?) replace with /usr/bin/ffmpeg

Save then exit

Reboot

Hardware Compatibility List

2015-10-26T09:44:59Z

Ccjames9: /* Network Cameras */

Zoneminder will work with almost any capture card that is supported by the linux kernel. You may find additional details about supported hardware in the part of the forums. Also if you find something in the forums that is missing from the wiki ADD IT.

== Capture Cards ==

[[Anykeeper]]

[[Avermedia]]

[[Camsecure PCI Express video capture]]

[[Digiflower]]

[[Geovision GV250 - bt878a chip]]

[[Grandtec Grand X Guard]]

[[Hauppauge]]

[[Howell-Tempest VC 878B-Q]]

[[Ituner Spectra 8]]

[[Kodicom 4400r]]

[[Kodicom 8800]]

[[Tungson TE-8008]]

Leadtek WinFast VC 100 - the cheapest bt878 model with no tuner on it, just Com/Svideo in.

[[LinkDelight CCTV H.264 4CH DVR Card]]

[[Linux Media Labs LMLBT44]]

[[Osprey 100]]

[[Provideo PV- series (Bluecherry)]]
[[ Bluecherry - BC-H16480A]]
[[TView 95/99]]

[[UDP Technology NCP3200v2]]

[[Videocards with Philips saa7134 chipset]]

[[WinFast TV2000 XP]]

[[Rapid OS]]

[[KesCom PG104]]

[[IEI Technology Corp. IVC-268G-R20]]

== bt8x8 Cards ==
A note on the bt8x8-based TV-tuner cards: these usually have beside the tuner input, also a Composite and an S-Video input. You can hook up 2 analog cameras to these, and access from ZoneMinder both of them as individual cameras, at max 15Fps. You don't need two separate TV cards for two cameras!

[[Pico2000]] - 4 port card, one chip bt878, around 2 fps when using all channels

[[Bt878_4chip_8inputs]] -4 chips bt878, 8 inputs, around 5 fps when using 2 inputs per chip

[[:Image:Karta.jpg| bt878 8 chip 8 input]] - This card is supplied with D-sub to 8 BNC connector and uses the bt878 chip for each input allowing full frame rates and quality. See [[Kodicom 8800]] for more information.

Geovision GV250 bt878a single chip 4 inputs - This capture Card is supplied with 4 video inputs but with NO audio channel

'''Most other BTTV (bt878, bt848) cards, see /usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/bttv/CARDLIST on your system for a list of some of them.'''

== Analog Cameras ==

Any regular composite or S-video camera connected via a supported capture card. Some analog cameras feature camera control - ZM supports several of these camera's Pan/Tilt/Zoom functions via serial port control, as well as camera Presets, Focus, Iris, etc.
*[[PicturetelControlScript | PictureTel PTZ2N]].

== Network Cameras ==
For Network Cams to work they need to be able to generate a video stream without the requirement of activex controls. If the requirements state Internet Explorer is the only supported browser, then the camera may not work. The other option is to grab JPEG images (snapshots), if the camera supports that option, which will work but at a lower frame rate.

'''Help us keep this list accurate.'''

The hardware compatibility list is maintained by you, the community. If you see something that is no longer up to date, please consider revising it. Naturally, be respectful with your edits. Those before you have put in a lot of effort into this documentation.

'''Maintaining PTZ Control Scripts is particularly important.'''

It is important to understand that many of the control scripts were written for older versions of ZoneMinder and may require changes to work with the most recent version. When reviewing control scripts, look at the date it was created (see the history tab at the top). If that date is not recent then the script may not work with the latest version. When in doubt, ask in the user forum.

If you discover the control script in this WiKi has already been added to ZoneMinder, then please update the WiKi to reflect that.

'''Consider adding your script to ZoneMinder.'''

If you are willing to do the work, we will gladly add new control scripts to ZoneMinder, as long as they have been tested to work properly. This requires submitting a pull request on our github site with the control script and the necessary sql bits to make it show up in the console. Once the control script has been added to the source tree, it will be maintained by the developers and will (should?) always work for you. This is really the best option as it avoids the endless maintenance required to keep the WiKi up to date.

== Network Digitizers ==

Like Network Cameras, these devices produce a video stream - but they accept an analog video input from a camera or other video source.

* [[Synectics E100]] encoder
*The [[IP9100 | Aviosys IP9100, Models A, B and Plus]] has four analog video inputs. It produces a ZM compatible video stream from one of the inputs, which is selectable via an HTTP GET command. There might even be a control script for ZM that lets you select the active video input using ''ZM's Camera Control Presets!''

With the yoics Aviosys 9100 firmware at http://www.yoics.com/?p=28, ZoneMinder can directly access all four ports via /usr/yoicsX.jpg as the remote host path, where X is 0 - 3.

* [[Bosch VIP X1 Single-channel]] video encoder [http://products.boschsecuritysystems.eu/en/EMEA/products/bxp/SKU15449253232961378955-CATMda7ec5dc0edf5b1a0b8cb619e2e11308]

* Video cameras & safes for antitheft purpose on the website http://www.infosafe.fr

== USB Cameras ==

*Just Zoom USB cam

*Creative Webcam Pro, Webcam 3, LIVE! Cam OPTIA PRO (V4L2, Chan 0, PAL, YUYV)

*''Most'' UVCvideo cameras, including: Advent AWC213, Creative Labs VF0420, [[Logitech QuickCam Express]], QuickCam Pro 3000, [[QuickCam Pro 4000]], QuickCam Communicate STX/Deluxe, [[Logitech Webcam Pro 9000]], and [[Webcam C250]]

*[[Logitech HD C270]]

*Logitech Quickcam Orbit/Sphere (experimental basic pan/tilt control has also published for testing and hacking [http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9788])

*[[Philips]]

*Any OV511 based USB camera [http://alpha.dyndns.org/ov511/cameras.html]

*Any CPIA based USB camera [http://webcam.sourceforge.net]

*[[LabTec WebCam Pro]]

*Confirmed basic functionality with Microsoft Lifecam VX 5000 using UVC Streaming method

Note that most USB cameras that can use Video4Linux/V4L2, and so can be used by ZoneMinder. Some have older chipsets and can be hard to find new.

Note that PWC drivers are not included in the kernel. Some distribution's add them in and other may not. Here are some relevant links:

== X10 Devices ==
The only device that really needs to be compatable with ZM is the Transceiver, all other x10 devices comunicate through that device.

To find out if your hardware is supported, check the [http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=10 HCL]

== Plug Computers ==
Guruplug Server Plus -> How to install Zoneminder

== Raspberry Pi ==

ZM 1.25 is already in Raspbian. Newer development packages are available.

You will want libjpeg-turbo from the following repository by adding to your /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://zarrenspry.info/repos/apt/raspbian testing main
deb-src http://zarrenspry.info/repos/apt/raspbian testing main

Add gpg by

wget -O - http://zarrenspry.info/zarrenspry.gpg.key|apt-key add -

apt-get install libturbojpeg8 libturbojpeg8-dev

If using the Pi camera, you will need to enable it in raspi-config as well as loading the v4l2 kernel module by adding the following to your /etc/modules. You will also need to assign more than 128M to the GPU.

bcm2835-v4l2

Although the camera will can capture high res, you don't have enough RAM currently to do so. Especially if you have the early 256MB model. So just stick to 640x480.

You should be able to get around 20fps, but if you do anything involving the CPU you will get underruns.

Ubuntu Server 14.04 64-bit with Zoneminder 1.28.1 the easy way

2015-10-23T16:34:17Z

Ccjames9:

Zoneminder 1.28.1 on Ubuntu 14.04. Should also works on Ubuntu 14.10 running init.

22OCT15 Returned this to original version as 1.28.1 has been returned to the iconnor PPA

23OCT15 Added add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media as there newer updated video codec but optional ~ Edited by ccjames9

I did this install on a 64 BIT server but it should work on 32 BIT. As of 20FEB15 I have tested this with a local USB camera and a remote h.264 camera with Ffmpeg and Libvlc.

If you install from CD install Ubuntu Server, OpenSSH Server, and LAMP Server (LAMP installs Apache2, PHP, and MySQL server)

If you use the minimum ISO CD install Basic Server, OpenSSH Server, and LAMP Server (LAMP installs Apache2, PHP, and MySQL server)

Log in then become root:

sudo su

If you used the server install CD

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade

Optional: Set static IP address

nano /etc/network/interfaces

Make changes similar to this:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1

Note: for Ubuntu 14.04 the resolv.conf is dynamically assigned. The "dns-servers" entry in the interfaces file will set the DNS Multiple DNS server entries can be used.

Reboot server

Log in and become root

sudo su

Suggested changes to MySQL

For most of you Zoneminder will run just fine with the default MySQL settings. There are a couple of settings that may, in time, provide beneficial especially if you have a number of cameras and many events with a lot of files. One setting I recommend is the "innodb_file_per_table" This will be a default setting in MySQL 5.6 but should be added in MySQL 5.5 which comes with Ubuntu 14.04. A description can be found here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/innodb-multiple-tablespaces.html

To add "innodb_file_per_table" edit the my.cnf file:

nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf

Under [mysqld] add

innodb_file_per_table

Ctrl+o Enter to save

CTRL+x to exit

Restart MySQL

service mysql restart

As you add cameras to your system and the events build up you may need to increase the size of the "innodb_buffer_pool_size" when this setting runs out of space your system may act like it is out of disk space. One way to check this is to install mysqltuner and run it from the command line. When the results are shown you can edit the my.cnf file and change the buffer size. The default "innodb_buffer_pool_size" is 128M. In the ZM forum I have found a recommended setting of 256M. My production server required a setting greater than 410M. Install and run mysqltuner to determine the recommended size for your system. Be sure to restart MySQL after making changes.

Add Repository's (One by One)

add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder
add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media

apt-get update

Install Zoneminder

apt-get install zoneminder

Note: a couple of package configurations will open up. These are to configure Nullmailer. You can just OK them and come back to configure them later.

You may need to install "extra" VLC components (I will check this and edit as needed)

apt-get install libvlc-dev libvlccore-dev vlc

Add delay to allow MySQL to start before Zoneminder

nano /etc/init.d/zoneminder

Ubuntu Server 14.04 64-bit with Zoneminder 1.28.1 the easy way

2015-10-23T16:34:02Z

Ccjames9:

Zoneminder 1.28.1 on Ubuntu 14.04. Should also works on Ubuntu 14.10 running init.

22OCT15 Returned this to original version as 1.28.1 has been returned to the iconnor PPA
23OCT15 Added add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media as there newer updated video codec but optional ~ Edited by ccjames9

I did this install on a 64 BIT server but it should work on 32 BIT. As of 20FEB15 I have tested this with a local USB camera and a remote h.264 camera with Ffmpeg and Libvlc.

If you install from CD install Ubuntu Server, OpenSSH Server, and LAMP Server (LAMP installs Apache2, PHP, and MySQL server)

If you use the minimum ISO CD install Basic Server, OpenSSH Server, and LAMP Server (LAMP installs Apache2, PHP, and MySQL server)

Log in then become root:

sudo su

If you used the server install CD

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade

Optional: Set static IP address

nano /etc/network/interfaces

Make changes similar to this:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1

Note: for Ubuntu 14.04 the resolv.conf is dynamically assigned. The "dns-servers" entry in the interfaces file will set the DNS Multiple DNS server entries can be used.

Reboot server

Log in and become root

sudo su

Suggested changes to MySQL

For most of you Zoneminder will run just fine with the default MySQL settings. There are a couple of settings that may, in time, provide beneficial especially if you have a number of cameras and many events with a lot of files. One setting I recommend is the "innodb_file_per_table" This will be a default setting in MySQL 5.6 but should be added in MySQL 5.5 which comes with Ubuntu 14.04. A description can be found here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/innodb-multiple-tablespaces.html

To add "innodb_file_per_table" edit the my.cnf file:

nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf

Under [mysqld] add

innodb_file_per_table

Ctrl+o Enter to save

CTRL+x to exit

Restart MySQL

service mysql restart

As you add cameras to your system and the events build up you may need to increase the size of the "innodb_buffer_pool_size" when this setting runs out of space your system may act like it is out of disk space. One way to check this is to install mysqltuner and run it from the command line. When the results are shown you can edit the my.cnf file and change the buffer size. The default "innodb_buffer_pool_size" is 128M. In the ZM forum I have found a recommended setting of 256M. My production server required a setting greater than 410M. Install and run mysqltuner to determine the recommended size for your system. Be sure to restart MySQL after making changes.

ZMLarch

2015-10-23T13:28:22Z

Ccjames9:

'''ZMLarch''' is a liveCD ZoneMinder demo, development tool, and installer solution.
Based on Arch Linux and built with the larch live CD/USB toolkit, ZMLarch is fairly light weight at ~425MB
Documentation on the CD is sparse, but effort has been made to keep it as simple to use as possible.
The CD's browser home page has a link back to here, so users can help with documenting.

The current release on June 30, 2009 is '''ZMLarch_1.24.2-1.iso'''
It is available for download here:
http://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/files/file/246-zoneminder-zm-larch-live-cd/

==Included software==
*ZoneMinder svn 2935-1 (ZoneMinder is packaged and updating is very simple. See [[Update_ZMLarch]])
*ffmpeg-svn 18940-1 (Built with the RTSP authentication patch)
*kernel 2.6.29.4-1
*Firefox 3.0.11-1
*MySQL 5.1.35-1
*PHP 5.2.9-3
*mjpg-streamer r63-1

==Features==
*A lightweight openbox desktop environment
** In an effort to keep the system light, ZMLarch doesn't use a display manager (typical runlevel 5). It's set up so that /etc/inittab runs autologin for 'user', then /home/user/.bash_profile starts X
** To disable X, comment the line out of /home/user/.bash_profile
*A unique hostame that has the form "zmhost_nn(n)_nn(n)" The numeric portion is determined by the last two octets of the mac address of the network interface. The preference order of interfaces is "wlan0", "ath0","eth0". Having a unique hostname enables us to use avahi to announce zeroconf network services. So the liveCD system can be used in a headless, dhcp configured network setup. Useful for "on the fly" temporary deployment. Of course these features can also be used in a more permanently installed system as well.

==Fixes==
===High Resolution Monitors===
Cameras above 320x240 will probably render a broken icon.
echo 134217728 >/proc/sys/kernel/shmall
echo 134217728 >/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax

To make the change permanent edit /etc/sysctl.conf and add
kernel.shmall = 134217728
kernel.shmmax = 134217728

==Data Storage==
Events are stored @ /var/lib/zm/www/events/, which is mounted (where?)

Hardware Compatibility List

2015-10-22T16:25:35Z

Ccjames9: /* USB Cameras */

Zoneminder will work with almost any capture card that is supported by the linux kernel. You may find additional details about supported hardware in the part of the forums. Also if you find something in the forums that is missing from the wiki ADD IT.

== Capture Cards ==

[[Anykeeper]]

[[Avermedia]]

[[Camsecure PCI Express video capture]]

[[Digiflower]]

[[Geovision GV250 - bt878a chip]]

[[Grandtec Grand X Guard]]

[[Hauppauge]]

[[Howell-Tempest VC 878B-Q]]

[[Ituner Spectra 8]]

[[Kodicom 4400r]]

[[Kodicom 8800]]

[[Tungson TE-8008]]

Leadtek WinFast VC 100 - the cheapest bt878 model with no tuner on it, just Com/Svideo in.

[[LinkDelight CCTV H.264 4CH DVR Card]]

[[Linux Media Labs LMLBT44]]

[[Osprey 100]]

[[Provideo PV- series (Bluecherry)]]
[[ Bluecherry - BC-H16480A]]
[[TView 95/99]]

[[UDP Technology NCP3200v2]]

[[Videocards with Philips saa7134 chipset]]

[[WinFast TV2000 XP]]

[[Rapid OS]]

[[KesCom PG104]]

[[IEI Technology Corp. IVC-268G-R20]]

== bt8x8 Cards ==
A note on the bt8x8-based TV-tuner cards: these usually have beside the tuner input, also a Composite and an S-Video input. You can hook up 2 analog cameras to these, and access from ZoneMinder both of them as individual cameras, at max 15Fps. You don't need two separate TV cards for two cameras!

[[Pico2000]] - 4 port card, one chip bt878, around 2 fps when using all channels

[[Bt878_4chip_8inputs]] -4 chips bt878, 8 inputs, around 5 fps when using 2 inputs per chip

[[:Image:Karta.jpg| bt878 8 chip 8 input]] - This card is supplied with D-sub to 8 BNC connector and uses the bt878 chip for each input allowing full frame rates and quality. See [[Kodicom 8800]] for more information.

Geovision GV250 bt878a single chip 4 inputs - This capture Card is supplied with 4 video inputs but with NO audio channel

'''Most other BTTV (bt878, bt848) cards, see /usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/bttv/CARDLIST on your system for a list of some of them.'''

== Analog Cameras ==

Any regular composite or S-video camera connected via a supported capture card. Some analog cameras feature camera control - ZM supports several of these camera's Pan/Tilt/Zoom functions via serial port control, as well as camera Presets, Focus, Iris, etc.
*[[PicturetelControlScript | PictureTel PTZ2N]].

== Network Cameras ==
For Network Cams to work they need to be able to generate a video stream without the requirement of activex controls. If the requirements state Internet Explorer is the only supported browser, then the camera may not work. The other option is to grab JPEG images (snapshots), if the camera supports that option, which will work but at a lower frame rate.

'''Help us keep this list accurate.'''

The hardware compatibility list is maintained by you, the community. If you see something that is no longer up to date, please consider revising it. Naturally, be respectful with your edits. Those before you have put in a lot of effort into this documentation.

'''Maintaining PTZ Control Scripts is particularly important.'''

It is important to understand that many of the control scripts were written for older versions of ZoneMinder and may require changes to work with the most recent version. When reviewing control scripts, look at the date it was created (see the history tab at the top). If that date is not recent then the script may not work with the latest version. When in doubt, ask in the user forum.

If you discover the control script in this WiKi has already been added to ZoneMinder, then please update the WiKi to reflect that.

'''Consider adding your script to ZoneMinder.'''

If you are willing to do the work, we will gladly add new control scripts to ZoneMinder, as long as they have been tested to work properly. This requires submitting a pull request on our github site with the control script and the necessary sql bits to make it show up in the console. Once the control script has been added to the source tree, it will be maintained by the developers and will (should?) always work for you. This is really the best option as it avoids the endless maintenance required to keep the WiKi up to date.

== Network Digitizers ==

Like Network Cameras, these devices produce a video stream - but they accept an analog video input from a camera or other video source.

* [[Synectics E100]] encoder
*The [[IP9100 | Aviosys IP9100, Models A, B and Plus]] has four analog video inputs. It produces a ZM compatible video stream from one of the inputs, which is selectable via an HTTP GET command. There might even be a control script for ZM that lets you select the active video input using ''ZM's Camera Control Presets!''

With the yoics Aviosys 9100 firmware at http://www.yoics.com/?p=28, ZoneMinder can directly access all four ports via /usr/yoicsX.jpg as the remote host path, where X is 0 - 3.

Note that most USB cameras that can use Video4Linux/V4L2, and so can be used by ZoneMinder. Some have older chipsets and can be hard to find new.

Note that PWC drivers are not included in the kernel. Some distribution's add them in and other may not. Here are some relevant links:

== X10 Devices ==
The only device that really needs to be compatable with ZM is the Transceiver, all other x10 devices comunicate through that device.

== Raspberry Pi ==

ZM 1.25 is already in Raspbian. Newer development packages are available.

You will want libjpeg-turbo from the following repository by adding to your /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://zarrenspry.info/repos/apt/raspbian testing main
deb-src http://zarrenspry.info/repos/apt/raspbian testing main

Add gpg by

wget -O - http://zarrenspry.info/zarrenspry.gpg.key|apt-key add -

apt-get install libturbojpeg8 libturbojpeg8-dev

If using the Pi camera, you will need to enable it in raspi-config as well as loading the v4l2 kernel module by adding the following to your /etc/modules. You will also need to assign more than 128M to the GPU.

bcm2835-v4l2

Although the camera will can capture high res, you don't have enough RAM currently to do so. Especially if you have the early 256MB model. So just stick to 640x480.

You should be able to get around 20fps, but if you do anything involving the CPU you will get underruns.
