ZMLarch

DaveQB: Download links

'''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/
::http://www.greenwattle.com/linux/zmlarch/ZMLarch_1.24.2-1.iso
::http://www.dward.name/iso/ZMLarch_1.24.2-1.iso
==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?)

DaveQB: Typo

== ZM < v. 1.24 ==
In versions of ZoneMinder prior to 1.24, the only way to use the Vivotek 7131 camera was by streaming the snapshot (which gives you an inconsistent FPS of 1 - 3). Use '''/cgi-bin/video.jpg''' as the '''Remote Host Path''' (Under '''Source''').

== ZM >= v. 1.24 ==
Starting with version 1.24 of ZoneMinder, RTSP is supported. As the Vivotek 7131 camera supports RTSP, we can now make full use of this camera.
I have successfully setup a a Vivotek 7131 on an Ubuntu 8.10 Server using RTSP at 640x480, 24-bit color and streaming at 20FPS using RTSP.
To make this work, use the following settings:

Remote Protocol: RTSP
Remote Method: RTP/RTSP
Remote Host Name: x.x.x.x
Remote Host Port: 554
Remote Host Path: /live.sdp
Remote Host SubPath: /trackID=
Remote Image Colours: 24 bit colour
Capture Width (pixels): 640
Capture Height (pixels): 480

= IP7138 =
== < v. 1.24 ==
In versions of ZoneMinder prior to 1.24, the only way to use the Vivotek 7138 camera was by streaming the snapshot (which gives you an inconsistent FPS of 1 - 3). Use '''/cgi-bin/viewer/video.jpg''' as the '''Remote Host Path''' (Under '''Source''').

RTSP

Works pretty good, decent image via ffmpeg and RTSP, but not a consistent 30fps, more like in the mid 20's with a wired connection. Only got about 5fps via WiFi, and that was with it less then about 8 feet from the 802.11g access point through one wall so using it via WiFi is a wash. But that's why I wanted one that was also wired as a fallback and it's PoE so that's a plus. So it needs at least one wire either way. (Laptop has no problem through that same wall and is even farther away.)

How to setup MPEG-4 streaming with RTSP monitor from a Vivotek IP8332 camera

2010-12-12T12:55:33Z

DaveQB: nowiki tag added.

[http://www.vivotek.com/products/model.php?network_camera=ip8332&tab=spe|Vivotek IP8330/32]

The IP8332 is a 1Megapixel (1280x800) day and night camera with an IR filter for night vision. It can have 4 concurrent streams in either H.264, MPEG-4 or MJPEG with an option for Multicast.

Once this camera is on your network, access its web interface by putting its IP into your web browser (preferably Firefox). How you attains its IP/Hostname is outside the scope of this article.

This camera's 4 streams can be access by either Motion JPEGs or RTSP for MPEG-4 and H.264.

MJPEG: 
<nowiki>http://<ip>:80/video.mjpg or http://<ip>:8080/video.mjpg</nowiki> 
<nowiki>http://<ip>:80/video2.mjpg or http://<ip>:8080/video2.mjpg</nowiki> 
<nowiki>http://<ip>:80/video3.mjpg or http://<ip>:8080/video3.mjpg</nowiki> 
<nowiki>http://<ip>:80/video4.mjpg or http://<ip>:8080/video4.mjpg</nowiki> 

MPEG-4 or H.264: 
rtsp://<ip>:554/live.sdp 
rtsp://<ip>:554/live2.sdp 
rtsp://<ip>:554/live3.sdp 
rtsp://<ip>:554/live4.sdp 

These paths and ports can be changed under the Network configuration as well as the quality and resolution of the stream/picture all on the Vivotek's web interface. Read the manual (page 43) for full details:
[http://www.vivotek.com/downloadfiles/downloads/usermanuals/ip8330manual.pdf]

Now to put this all together into ZoneMinder. 
For MJPEG we add a new Monitor with the below settings. Put in the stream that is sending out a JPEG image stream otherwise the monitor will fail.

[[Image:IP8332-JPEG01.png]]

Remote Protocol: HTTP 
Remote Method: Simple 
Remote Host Name: Put in the cameras IP or hostname 
Remote Host Path: /video4.mjpg 

[[Image:IP8332-JPEG02.png]]

And for MPEG4. Put in the stream that is sending out a MPEG4 or H.264 video stream otherwise the monitor will fail.

[[Image:IP8332-MPEG01.png]]

Remote Protocol: RTSP 
Remote Method: RTP/RTSP 
Remote Host Name: Put in the cameras IP or hostname 
Remote Host Path: /live3.sdp 

[[Image:IP8332-MPEG02.png]]

Notes:
Depending on how you config the stream effects whether it can be access via http or rtsp. 
That is, if you have stream 2 set for JPEG on the camera web config page, then only the URLs http://<ip>:80/video2.mjpg or http://<ip>:8080/video2.mjpg will work and rtsp://<ip>:554/live2.sdp will not. 
You can change the quality of the stream that is being sent out also on the cameras web interface. 
For me, with ZM v1.24.2 I have found that setting an H.264 stream does not work, only MPEG4. H.264 does work, however, using VLC (ver 1.1.5) on my PCLinuxOS desktop.

How to setup MPEG-4 streaming with RTSP monitor from a Vivotek IP8332 camera
