Zone Parameter Explanations

Mastertheknife: small corrections and added info about min\max alarmed pixels

===Zone Parameter Explanations===
*Note: This area is complex and needs alot of work. Please help in any way that you can!

==Name==
Each Zone can be named for reference purposes. Choose a name that helps you identify your zones.

==Type==
*Active
*:This is the zone type you'll use most often, and which will be set for your default zone. This means that this zone will trigger an alarm on any events that occur within it that meet the selection criteria.

*Inclusive
*: This zone type can be used for any zones that you want to trigger an alarm only if at least one other Active zone has already triggered one. This might be for example to cover an area of the image like a plant or tree which moves a lot and which would trigger lots of alarms. Perhaps this is behind an area you'd like to monitor though, in this case you'd create an active zone covering the non-moving parts and an inclusive zone covering the tree perhaps with less sensitive detection settings also. If something triggered an alarm in the Active zone and also in the Inclusive zone they would both be registered and the resulting alarm would be that much bigger than if you had blanked it out altogether.

*Exclusive
*: The next zone Type is Exclusive. This means that alarms will only be triggered in this zone if no alarms have already been triggered in Active zones. This is the most specialised of the zone types and you may never use it but in its place it is very useful. For instance in the camera covering my garden I keep watch for a hedgehog that visits most nights and scoffs the food out of my cats bowls. By creating a sensitive Exclusive zone in that area I can ensure that a hedgehog alarm will only trigger if there is activity in that small area. If something much bigger occurs, like someone walking by it will trigger a regular alarm and not one from the Exclusive zone. Thus I can ensure I get alarms for big events and also special small events but not the noise in between.

*Preclusive
*:This zone type is relatively recent. It is called a Preclusive zone because if it is triggered it actually precludes an alarm being generated for that image frame. So motion or other changes that occur in a Preclusive zone will have the effect of ensuring that no alarm occurs at all. The application for this zone type is primarily as a shortcut for detecting general large-scale lighting or other changes. Generally this may be achieved by limiting the maximum number of alarm pixels or other measure in an Active zone. However in some cases that zone may cover an area where the area of variable illumination occurs in different places as the sun and/or shadows move and it thus may be difficult to come up with general values. Additionally, if the sun comes out rapidly then although the initial change may be ignored in this way as the reference image catches up an alarm may ultimately be triggered as the image becomes less different. Using one or more Preclusive zones offers a different approach. Preclusive zones are designed to be fairly small, even just a few pixels across, with quite low alarm thresholds. They should be situated in areas of the image that are less likely to have motion occur such as high on a wall or in a corner. Should a general illumination change occur they would be triggered at least as early as any Active zones and prevent any other zones from generating an alarm. Obviously careful placement is required to ensure that they do not cancel any genuine alarms or that they are not so close together that any motion just hops from one Preclusive zone to another. As always, the best way is to experiment a little and see what works for you.

*Inactive
*:This final zone type is the opposite of Active. In this zone type no alarms will ever be reported. You can create an Inactive zone to cover any areas in which nothing notable will ever happen or where you get constant false alarms that don't relate to what you are trying to monitor. An Inactive zone can overlay other zone types and will be processed first.

==Units==

*Pixels - Selecting this option will allow many of the following values to be entered (or viewed) in units of pixels.

*Percentage - Selecting this option will allow may of the following values to be entered (orviewed) as a percentage.

==Minimum X - Minimum Y - Maximum X - Maximum Y==
Use these parameters to define the X,Y coordinates of the corners of the zone that is to be defined.

==Alarm Colour==

These parameters can be used to indvidually colorize the zone overlay pattern. By default, red is the active zone and green is the ??? zone.

==Alarm Check Method==
*Alarmed Pixels -

Choosing this Check Method will grey out many of the available parameters. This can simplify the tuning process, and could possibly be a better starting point for learning to adjust the many advanced parameters that are enabled with the other options. Its recommended that you start with this method.

*Filtered Pixels -

Choosing this Check Method opens up the Filtered parameters for adjustment in addition to the Alarmed Pixels above. This should give more accuracy, once you know how to adjust the various parameters and assist with eliminating false alarms and triggering on desired conditions.

*Blob Pixels -

Choosing this Check Methos opens up all of the available parameters. Enabling Blobs provides one more analysis for determination of what is a valid alarm and what is not.

==Minimum Pixel Threshold==
These setting are used to define limits for the difference in value between a pixel and its predecessor in the reference image.

This value (and the Maximum value as well) defines the amount of change that a single pixel must undergo, from the prior image (the reference image) and the current image, in order for the pixel to have been considered to have changed.

Small abberations in lighting or auto exposure camera adjustments may cause the explicit value of a pixel to vary by small amounts from image to image. This parameter allows you to set the limits of what will be considered a "changed pixel". For example, if your camera points to a blank white wall, and you raise a black colored item into view, then the change in any one pixel will be great, indeed, extreme. If however, you raise a white piece of paper, then the change that an individual pixes sees will be more subtle. Setting this minimum value too high, may allow a white cat to walk undetected across the view of the white wall.

==Maximum Pixel Threshold==
See the Minimum Pixel Threshold (above) for some explanation.

The default value for this parameter is 0% or 0 (zero) pixels, which disables the check. In other words, a pixel that changes from extreme white to extreme black will always be considered to be changed. This value is probably best left at a value of 0 (zero).

==Minimum Alarmed Area==
This setting controls the minimum amount of alarmed pixels (read above) needed to trigger an alarm. Depending on the size of the object you are trying to capture, a value too low may cause false alarms, while a value too high might not detect small objects. You will probably need to experiment to find a value that doesn't trigger many false alarms but still able to detect small objects such as dogs or cats.

==Maximum Alarmed Area==
This setting controls the maximm amount of alarmed pixels (read above) needed to trigger an alarm. The default value for this setting is 0, which disables the check and is probably best to leave it that way.

==Filter Width and Filter Height (pixels)==
This parameter is always specified in Pixels, even when Percentages are the selected units.

This parameter defines a group of pixels and should always be an odd number.

3 x 3 is the default value, and 5 x 5 is also suggested as another valid option. It is suggested that these numbers be small in number.

==Minimum Filtered Area==

* This value should always be equal to or less than the Minimum Alarmed Area

==Maximum Filtered Area==

* This value should always be equal to or less than the Maximum Alarmed Area

==Minimum Blob Area==
* The following Blob parameters are only available if you have selected "Blobs" as the "Alarm Check Method" above.

When two or more Filtered areas touch or share a boundary, they probably should be evaluated as one contiguous area and not as separate entities. A Blob is the coalesced or consolodated area of multiple filtered areas.

The Minimum blob area the smallest area that would be considered to be a blob.

==Maximum Blob Area==
This parameter is probably best left at the default value of 0 (zero) or disabled.

==Minimum Blobs==
Normally, you would want any single blob to trigger an event, so the default value of 1 (one) should suffice. In some circumstances, it may benefit to have only one blob NOT trigger an event, in which case, setting this value to 2 or higher may serve some special purpose.

==Maximum Blobs==
I believe that the usefulness of this parameter is negligible. Normally set to 0 (zero), it is probably best left at that value.

Hardware Compatibility List

2011-02-17T17:48:44Z

Mastertheknife: added link to kodicom 8800 page

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 [http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=10 Hardware Compatibility List] 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]]

[[Grandtec Grand X Guard]] [http://www.grandtec.com/products/surveillance/xguard.html]

[[Hauppauge]]

[[Ituner Spectra 8]] [http://www.ituner.com/spectra.htm]

[[Kodicom 4400r]]

[[Kodicom 8800]]

[[Tungson TE-8008]]

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

[[Linux Media Labs LMLBT44]] [http://www.linuxmedialabs.com]

[[Osprey 100]]

[[Provideo PV- series (Bluecherry)]] [http://store.bluecherry.net/SearchResults.asp?Cat=63&Click=51]

[[TView 95/99]]

[[Videocards with Philips saa7134 chipset]]

[[WinFast TV2000 XP]]

[[Rapid OS]]

== 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]] - options bttv card=77,77,77,77,77,77,77,77. The card is supplied with D-sub to 8 BNC connector with the connectors labelled VID1, AUD1, VID2, AUD3 etc. The /dev/video device numbering may be backwards such that /dev/video7 is VID1, /dev/video6 -> VID2, 5 -> 3, 4 -> 4, /dev/video3 -> AUD1 etc. See [[Kodicom 8800]] for more information.

'''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 stream MJPEG without the requirement of activex controls. If you see the requirement for the camera calls for IE then there is a good chance it may not work. The other option is to grab JPEG images if the camera supports that option which will work but at a lower frame rate.

Any network camera that allows access to single JPEG image grabs or '''some but not all''' multi-part JPEG feeds.

== 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.

*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.

== USB Cameras ==

*Just Zoom USB cam

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

*''Most'' UVCvideo cameras, including: [[Logitech QuickCam Express]], QuickCam Pro 3000, QuickCam Communicate STX/Deluxe, and [[Logitech Webcam Pro 9000]]

*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:
* [http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/ Old Maintainer]
* [http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/ Current PWC Maintainer]

== X10 Devices ==
The only device that really needs to be compatable with ZM is the Transceiver, all other x10 devices comunicate through that device.
*[[CM11]] Bi-Directional Transceiver

Talk:ZoneMinder 1.24.2 Bugfixes

Mastertheknife: Added thanks

''To avoid clutter, if you want to add a fix to this page, please don't copy its code directly to this page! Make a thread in User Contributions forum and add the link to this page by editing it.''

That would be fine, unfortunately forums is not a great place for patches. If a patch contains a long line, line wrapping becomes a problem. The Wiki is better (no line wrapping problems), but still not very ideal, (space/tab problems). It would be nice to have a way to upload the patch, especially for ones that are larger than 10 lines or so.

Andy (forum member "genanr")

I agree, ZM definitely needs a place to upload patches to! Or even better, a bugreport system like bugzilla or Trac, that you can also upload patches to.

Thanks to whoever updated this and added more fixes :)

Kodicom 8800

2010-02-12T09:08:42Z

Mastertheknife: 2nd card options layout fix

[[Image:KMC8800.jpg|frame|right|200px|Kodicom 8800]]
==General Information==
The Kodicom 8800 is a PCI card with 8 inputs and 8 Conexant Fusion 878A (also known as BT878) chips. 
Real time monitoring of all 8 inputs is possible because each input has a dedicated chip for it, resulting in a total of 200FPS for PAL and 240FPS for NTSC. 
Since around 2006, this card is no longer in production, however, there are many clones of this card floating around at low cost. 

==Use with ZoneMinder==
Use the bttv driver for this card, however, this card layout isn't automaticly detected by the driver.
Use the options below with the bttv driver. 
On modern linux distributions, the options below should be placed in /etc/modprobe.d/bttv.conf

 1 card:
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
options bttv gbuffers=16 card=102,102,102,102,102,102,102,102 radio=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 tuner=4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4 chroma_agc=1 combfilter=2 full_luma_range=1 coring=1 autoload=0
*The 8 inputs are from /dev/video0 channel '''0''' to /dev/video7 channel '''0'''. 
 2 cards:
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
options bttv gbuffers=16 card=102,102,102,102,102,102,102,102,102,102,102,102,102,102,102,102 radio=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 tuner=4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4 chroma_agc=1 combfilter=2 full_luma_range=1 coring=1 autoload=0
*The 16 inputs are from /dev/video0 channel '''0''' to /dev/video15 channel '''0'''. 

 Its recommended to install heatsinks on the BT878 chips of this card because the chips generate a lot of heat. Without heatsinks and front case fan cooling the heatsinks, this card might not last long. 

==Limitations==
At this time it appears its not possible to install more than 2 cards of this card in the same computer, the computer will detect no more than 16 BT878 chips.

 Its recommended to install heatsinks on the BT878a chips of this card because the chips generate a lot of heat. Without heatsinks and front case fan cooling the heatsinks, this card might not last long. 

==Limitations==
At this time it appears its not possible to install more than 2 cards of this card in the same computer, the computer will detect no more than 16 BT878a chips.

Mastertheknife: Some small fine touches

==General Information==
The Kodicom 8800 is a PCI card with 8 inputs and 8 Conexant Fusion 878A (also known as BT878a) chips. 
Real time monitoring of all 8 inputs is possible because each input has a dedicated chip for it, resulting in a total of 200FPS for PAL and 240FPS for NTSC. 
Since around 2006, this card is no longer in production, however, there are many clones of this card floating around at low cost. 

==Use with ZoneMinder==
Use the bttv driver for this card, however, this card isn't automaticly detected by the driver.
Use these options with the bttv driver:
*options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
*options bttv gbuffers=32 card=102,102,102,102,102,102,102,102 radio=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 tuner=4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4 chroma_agc=1 combfilter=2 full_luma_range=1 coring=1 autoload=0

 The 8 inputs are from /dev/video0 channel '''0''' to /dev/video7 channel '''0'''. 
 Its recommended to install heatsinks on the BT878a chips of this card because the chips generate a lot of heat. Without heatsinks and front case fan cooling the heatsinks, this card might not last long.

==Limitations==
At this time it appears its not possible to install more than 2 cards of this card in the same computer, the computer will detect no more than 16 BT878a chips.

Hardware Compatibility List

Mastertheknife: Added a link for the Kodicom 8800

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 [http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=10 Hardware Compatibility List] part of the forums.

== 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]] - options bttv card=77,77,77,77,77,77,77,77. The card is supplied with D-sub to 8 BNC connector with the connectors labelled VID1, AUD1, VID2, AUD3 etc. The /dev/video device numbering may be backwards such that /dev/video7 is VID1, /dev/video6 -> VID2, 5 -> 3, 4 -> 4, /dev/video3 -> AUD1 etc.

'''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 stream MJPEG without the requirement of activex controls. If you see the requirement for the camera calls for IE then there is a good chance it may not work. The other option is to grab JPEG images if the camera supports that option which will work but at a lower frame rate.

Any network camera that allows access to single JPEG image grabs or '''some but not all''' multi-part JPEG feeds.

* [[Intellinet]] IPCamera with the new firmware.

* Old Intellinet IPCamera (model MWNC-100) with this (http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7500) protocol adapter.

* OvisLink AirLive WL-5400CAM

== 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.

*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.

== USB Cameras ==

*Just Zoom USB cam

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

*''Most'' UVCvideo cameras, including: [[Logitech QuickCam Express]], QuickCam Pro 3000, QuickCam Communicate STX/Deluxe

*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:
* [http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/ Old Maintainer]
* [http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/ Current PWC Maintainer]

== X10 Devices ==
The only device that really needs to be compatable with ZM is the Transceiver, all other x10 devices comunicate through that device.
*[[CM11]] Bi-Directional Transceiver

Kodicom 8800

2009-12-19T20:56:01Z

Mastertheknife: Trying to contribute a little.. a page about the kodicom 8800 card after some research about this card :)

The Kodicom 8800 is a 8 input card with 8 BT878 chips.
Real time viewing of all 8 inputs is possible because each input has a dedicated chip for it, resulting in a total of 200FPS for PAL and 240FPS for NTSC. 
Since around 2006, this card is no longer in production, however, there are many clones of this card floating around the internet at low cost. 
Its important to install heatsinks on the BT878 chips of this card because the chips generate a lot of heat. Without heatsinks and front case fan cooling the heatsinks, the card might not last long.

==Use with ZoneMinder==
The 8 inputs are from /dev/video0 ('''0''') to /dev/video7 ('''0''').

Use the bttv driver with these options:
*options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
*options bttv gbuffers=32 card=102,102,102,102,102,102,102,102 radio=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 tuner=4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4 chroma_agc=1 combfilter=2 full_luma_range=1 coring=1 autoload=0

==Limitations==
At this time it appears its not possible to install more than 2 cards of this card in the same computer, the computer will detect no more than 16 BT878 chips.
