==Debian 13 with Zoneminder 1.36.35 from Debian Repo==

'''Notice: These procedure are for a new install of Zoneminder 1.36.35 on Debian 13 Trixie.'''

Debian, unlike Ubuntu, does not install sudo with the initial setup. While you can log in as root, a user with sudo authority is recommended.

To enable sudo:
In a terminal,become root with su root. Enter your root password.
Install sudo with:
apt install sudo
Add the user account to the group sudo with:
/sbin/adduser username sudo
where username is your user account.
Exit root then log out and then log in with the same user.

Become root with the command:

sudo su

Timezone: it is recommended you set your specific timesone with:
timedatectl set-timezone America/New_York
Of course use your timezone in place of America/New_York.

'''Note: This is an install procedure for new installations! Upgraders are encouraged to search the Zoneminder Forum for upgrade information!'''

To begin, install Debian 13 Trixie along with Apache2, PHP and Mariadb (recommended). A quick way to do this is:

apt install apache2 mariadb-server php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql systemd-timesyncd

Add timezone to PHP

nano /etc/php/8.4/apache2/php.ini

Search for [Date] (Ctrl + w then type Date and press Enter) and make changes as follows for your time zone

[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
; http://php.net/date.timezone
date.timezone = America/New_York

Ctrl+o Enter to save

CTRL+x to exit

Install Zoneminder

apt install zoneminder --install-recommends -y

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

mysql -uroot -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql

mysql -uroot -p -e "grant all on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass';"

mysqladmin -uroot -p reload

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

Create a new user if you plan to use local (USB or capture card) cameras.

adduser www-data video

Replace the zoneminder.conf file (The API functions were not included in the Trixie Distro version)
Make a copy of the original file

cp /etc/apache2/conf-available/zoneminder.conf /etc/apache2/conf-available/zoneminder.conf.org

Edit the zoneminder.conf

nano /etc/apache2/conf-availible/zoneminder.conf

Replace the original contents with the following:

==Debian 13 with Zoneminder 1.37.x from zmrepo==
Install Zoneminder Development Branch 1.37.x on Debian 13

You will have to install sudo and add the user to the sudoers file.

Become root with

su

Install sudo

apt install sudo

Then add the user

/sbin/adduser username sudo

I recommend rebooting at this point but a log out and back in also works.

Install Apache2, PHP and your favorite database (Mariadb recommended). A quick way to install LAMP is:

apt install apache2 mariadb-server php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql lsb-release gnupg2

Become root with sudo su before running this!

Shell script file contents:

#!/bin/sh
clear
read -p "This script installs ZoneMinder 1.37.x on Debian 12 with LAMP (MySQL or Mariadb) installed...
This script must be run as root!
Press Enter to continue or Ctrl + c to quit" nothing
clear
apt install -y lsb-release gnupg2
echo "deb https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/master "`lsb_release -c -s`"/" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zoneminder.list
# The key is stored in the deprecated keyring trusted.gpg.
# wget -O - https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/archive-keyring.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
wget -O- https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/archive-keyring.gpg | sudo gpg --dearmour -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/zmrepo.gpg
read -p "Warning! Check above to insure the line says OK. If not the GPG signing key was not installed and you will need to figure out why before continuing.
Press enter to continue" nothing
apt update
clear
apt install -y zoneminder
systemctl enable zoneminder
service zoneminder start
adduser www-data video
a2enconf zoneminder
a2enmod rewrite
a2enmod headers
a2enmod expires
service apache2 reload
clear
read -p "Install complete. Open Zoneminder/Options and set the timezone. Press enter to continue" nothing
clear

Copy the contents of the script, open a terminal and run:

nano zm-install

Paste the contents of the script into Nano

Then:

Ctrl + o Ctrl + x

Next run:

chmod 755 zm-install

Start the script by entering:

./zm-install

Follow the prompts. Things are pretty simple. The timezone is now set in Zoneminder/Options.

Good Luck!

Hardware Compatibility List

2020-12-07T22:58:25Z

Rangerbob:

The ZoneMinder Wiki is community based. That means the list below is only as good as those who chose to maintain it. Did you find something outdated? Did you get a camera working, which is not shown in the list below? Please consider adding or improving this list.

== IP Network Cameras ==
Most modern IP cameras are ONVIF compliant, which means most modern IP cameras should work with ZoneMinder. However, there are some caveats to this general rule. Cameras which (only) send an encrypted stream will not work with any third party recording software. Some "cloud" cameras fit into this category [examples?].

You should verify one can adjust camera parameters such as frame rate, resolution, contrast, etc. from within the camera's web portal. This, in itself, is not a show-stopper, but it will make your experience a lot easier. [why?]

The following list of IP cameras is not exhaustive. If your camera is not listed, it does not mean that it won't work with ZoneMinder. Rather, it is likely that no one has taken the time to add it to the list. Please consider adding your camera to this list once you get it working. More details on obtaining stream paths can be found on [[Finding Camera Stream Paths]].

== IP Video Encoder ==

Like Network Cameras, these devices produce a video stream over tcp/ip - but they do so with input from an analog video camera or other video source. An easy way to find these are to search for video encoders or video servers, e.g. 8 channel video encoder, or 2 channel video server. Newer video encoders may also support HD Analog either in addition, or instead of analog streams (how they implement HD analog, depends upon the brand. There are currently competing standards such as AHD, EX-SDI, HD-SDI, HD-CVI, HD-TVI, etc...).

IP Video Encoders are generally easier to use and maintain than PCI / Capture cards.

* [[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.

* [[Axis]] Multiple

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

* [[GXV3504]] Grandstream 4 channel video encoder.

* [[Hikvision]] HD Analog (With errors)

* [[Samsung]] uses AHD cameras, and possibly NTSC/PAL cameras.

== bt8x8 Cards ==
BT8x8 cards are handled by the Kernel module BTTV. 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!

Hardware Compatibility List

2020-12-04T19:10:38Z

Rangerbob:

The ZoneMinder Wiki is community based. That means the list below is only as good as those who chose to maintain it. Did you find something outdated? Did you get a camera working, which is not shown in the list below? Please consider adding or improving this list.

== IP Network Cameras ==
Most modern IP cameras are ONVIF compliant, which means most modern IP cameras should work with ZoneMinder. However, there are some caveats to this general rule. Cameras which (only) send an encrypted stream will not work with any third party recording software. Some "cloud" cameras fit into this category [examples?].

You should verify one can adjust camera parameters such as frame rate, resolution, contrast, etc. from within the camera's web portal. This, in itself, is not a show-stopper, but it will make your experience a lot easier. [why?]

The following list of IP cameras is not exhaustive. If your camera is not listed, it does not mean that it won't work with ZoneMinder. Rather, it is likely that no one has taken the time to add it to the list. Please consider adding your camera to this list once you get it working. More details on obtaining stream paths can be found on [[Finding Camera Stream Paths]].

== IP Video Encoder ==

Like Network Cameras, these devices produce a video stream over tcp/ip - but they do so with input from an analog video camera or other video source. An easy way to find these are to search for video encoders or video servers, e.g. 8 channel video encoder, or 2 channel video server. Newer video encoders may also support HD Analog either in addition, or instead of analog streams (how they implement HD analog, depends upon the brand. There are currently competing standards such as AHD, EX-SDI, HD-SDI, HD-CVI, HD-TVI, etc...).

IP Video Encoders are generally easier to use and maintain than PCI / Capture cards.

* [[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.

* [[Axis]] Multiple

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

* [[GXV3504]] Grandstream 4 channel video encoder.

* [[Hikvision]] HD Analog (With errors)

* [[Samsung]] uses AHD cameras, and possibly NTSC/PAL cameras.

== bt8x8 Cards ==
BT8x8 cards are handled by the Kernel module BTTV. 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!
