With FC4 there are three things that must be done to get ZM running,:
#is in the /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ dir created a file with 775 perm called zm.conf and add the line '/usr/local/lib' to it and type 'ldconfig' once it is added, also with a fresh install of FC4 make sure SE linux is disabled if you are not using it. Check your log path in options under the paths tab. This will tell you were the log are going to be put.

*All things are possible and the example someone posted a while back of detecting trucks and buses, but not cars, passing over a distant intersection is probably appropriate for you. What I would suggest you need are quite high pixel differences (indicating difference from the background) and pretty small counts of changed pixels or blob sizes. You might find it useful to turn on diagnostic images initially (and only for a while as they slow everything down a lot) which will output what ZM thinks the differences etc are are in the images.

Sawireless2000: DSlam and video balun updated

Request for comment:
I will discuss various ways of using DSLAMS, Video baluns , copper, Telephone poles and fiber to setup a neighbourhood surveillance system.

=== Slice the street up into multiple camera zones ===

Three cameras should be trained down the length of the street. One to monitor only the tar road and the other two to monitor the pavements. Motion detection works best the narrower the zone is to be monitored. Multiple cameras can be spanned adjacent to each other, thus slicing up the road into as many sections as desired. Plant to poles on the pavement and suspend the camers at a certain height across the road. It is critical that nobody's privacy is invaded with such a setup, with each resident able to see each camera output this will be ensured.

=== DSLAM and video baluns ===
A DSLAM is a Point-to-Multipoint device. It can be thought of as a massive SwiTch. It strength lies in it's ability to download/upload high bandwidth content to each ADSL modem, connected to it's ports, over twisted pair copper. DSLAM sizes vary between eight and 200 ports. The eight port uses RJ-45 telephone jack connectors. The larger port sizes use a Telco-50 connector cable. Each port connects to only one ADSL modem.

Functioning as a switch, it receives the ADSL modem data (connected to it via twisted pair copper wire) on a port and
streams this data via the Ethernet gigabit link that physically plugs into the DSLAM itself unto
the Internet or local network.

The DSLAM can multicast a video stream to all the ADSL modems at the same time. An eight-port DSLAM can stream eight different movies and at the
same time the ADSL modems can upload data unto the DSLAM to be routed unto the Internet or local network via the DSLAM's Gigabit Ethernet port.
This allows for See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_play_(telecommunications) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_play_%28telecommunications%29]
The DSLAM has QOS and bandwidth control in increments of 32k, allowing bandwidth management to each ADSL modem.

It overcomes the distance limitation of 100m over copper wire that limits Ethernet usage. Via the ATM protocol a DSLAM downloads/uploads it's
data to the ADSL modem connected to one of it's ports at a distance of over 5km. The ATM protocol uses fixed packet widths. The Ethernet protocol uses variable data rates. As the distance of a wire increases, its resitance increases hence the the need for the ATM protocol.

Upload speed from an ADSL modem to it's DSLAM port: 1meg ~ 1.6km

Download speeds from a single DSLAM port to it's ADSL modem
*25meg at 1000 feet
*24meg at 2000 feet
*23meg at 3000 feet
*22meg at 4000 feet
*21meg at 5000 feet
*19meg at 6000 feet
*16meg at 7000 feet

As the distance of the ADSL modem from the DSLAM increases the throughput will drop. At any distance where the speed becomes unacceptable
, connect an Fiber/Ethernet module to the ADSL modem's ethernet port. The ADSL could be seen as an ATM to Ethernet protocol converter. All switches, hubs, routers and bridges uses the Ethernet protocol.

A DSLAM is a viable alternative to many Fiber deployments, it allows people to build their own private telephone exchanges via telephone poles and underground cabling in the exact same manner that a Telco builds their exchanges.

Connect an analogue camera to a VideoBalun. The balun transmitter converts the analogue signal to digital and transmits the video data a distance of 1km over twisted pair copper to the receiver balun which converts it back to analogue. These analogue signals are connected to cards installed inside Zoneminder boxes. The Zoneminder box connects to the DsLam besides it via it's Ethernet port. The DsLam streams the captured video to the ADSL2+ modems.

See *DsLam http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSLAM

I guess you are using the default module supplied with CentOS. I think, not sure about this though, that it is missing some capabilities. So I installed the pwc module (http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/INSTALL.en) and these crashes stopped.

*All things are possible and the example someone posted a while back of detecting trucks and buses, but not cars, passing over a distant intersection is probably appropriate for you. What I would suggest you need are quite high pixel differences (indicating difference from the background) and pretty small counts of changed pixels or blob sizes. You might find it useful to turn on diagnostic images initially (and only for a while as they slow everything down a lot) which will output what ZM thinks the differences etc are are in the images.

==== Fedora4 Notes ====
* http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5991 
Set web user and group correctly and set the log dir to a writeable location.
With FC4 there are three things that must be done to get ZM running,:
#is in the /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ dir created a file with 775 perm called zm.conf and add the line '/usr/local/lib' to it and type 'ldconfig' once it is added, also with a fresh install of FC4 make sure SE linux is disabled if you are not using it. Check your log path in options under the paths tab. This will tell you were the log are going to be put.
#Second make sure the path exists.
#Third create the log files if they do not exist and make sure that they have the correct permissions. '''If zm can not open and write the log files, it will not start. '''

Check zone.conf or zm.conf. Check that there are no bogus vesions of this file lying around. 
"nobody" doesn't have shell access, choose a different Apache alias like "httpd". 
zmdc.log or /var/log/messages log any errors.

==== Fedora4 Notes ====
* http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5991 
Set web user and group correctly and set the log dir to a writeable location.
With FC4 there are three things that must be done to get ZM running,:
#is in the /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ dir created a file with 775 perm called zm.conf and add the line '/usr/local/lib' to it and type 'ldconfig' once it is added, also with a fresh install of FC4 make sure SE linux is disabled if you are not using it. Check your log path in options under the paths tab. This will tell you were the log are going to be put.
#Second make sure the path exists.
#Third create the log files if they do not exist and make sure that they have the correct permissions. '''If zm can not open and write the log files, it will not start. '''

==== Misc Notes (Anyone care to categorize?) ====
Check zone.conf or zm.conf. Check that there are no bogus vesions of this file lying around. 
"nobody" doesn't have shell access, choose a different Apache alias like "httpd". 
zmdc.log or /var/log/messages log any errors. 
zm.sock file must be able to be created.

*All things are possible and the example someone posted a while back of detecting trucks and buses, but not cars, passing over a distant intersection is probably appropriate for you. What I would suggest you need are quite high pixel differences (indicating difference from the background) and pretty small counts of changed pixels or blob sizes. You might find it useful to turn on diagnostic images initially (and only for a while as they slow everything down a lot) which will output what ZM thinks the differences etc are are in the images.

2006-08-15T22:06:22Z

Sawireless2000: /* USB Cameras */ Forum link on PCVC

Zoneminder will work with almost any capture card that is supported by the linux kernel.

== Capture Cards ==

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

[[Bt878_4chip_8inputs]] - I don't know the name for it, 4 chips bt878, 8 inputs, around 5 fps when using 2 inputs per chip

[[Hauppauge]]

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

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

[[Avermedia]]

[[TView 95/99]]

[[WinFast TV2000 XP]]

[[Osprey 100]]

[[Grand X Guard]] [http://www.grandtec.com/xguard.htm]

[[Kodicom 4400r]]

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 svideo camera connected via a supported capture card.

== Network Cameras ==

* [[Axis]] (just about all recent models, including support for PTZ functions)

* [[Panasonic]] BLC-10, KX-HCM10 etc (including PTZ support)

* [[D-Link]] DCS-1000(W) - plus other D-Link IP models

* [[Sony]] SNC-M1 and SNC-M3 wired and wireless - possibly other Sony IP models?

* [[Grandtec]] [[Grandtec_WLAN_Camera|WLAN Camera]] WiFi or III - poor outdoor-quality, acceptable indoor quality. cheap!

* [[Airlink 101]] AIC250W - Just remember to turn off PCRE processing in the Options > Network tab. http://x.x.x.x/video.cgi gives 10 fps 640 x 480 mjpeg feed. Same camera as D-Link DCS-900W / TrendNet IP-200 / Hawking HNC320W.

* Any network camera that allows access to single JPEG image grabs or multi-part JPEG feeds.

== USB Cameras ==

Just Zoom USB cam

Creative Webcam Pro, Webcam 3

Logitech QuickCam Express, QuickCam Pro 3000

Philips PCVC 730K, PCVC 740K 
http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6645&highlight=zmu

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

Any Philips based USB camera [http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam]

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

'''Note that most USB cameras that can use Video4Linux, and so can be used by ZoneMinder, 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.'''

I pulled the battery for 5 minutes and slapped it back in. I booted, then started zoneminder. It didn't lock up! I went into the interface and found several lines of 'incorrect key file for table: 'E'Try to repair it' before the regular interface began. I stopped zoneminder and went into mysql - sure enough, the events and frames tables both had errors. I repaired them and restarted zoneminder successfully.

*All things are possible and the example someone posted a while back of detecting trucks and buses, but not cars, passing over a distant intersection is probably appropriate for you. What I would suggest you need are quite high pixel differences (indicating difference from the background) and pretty small counts of changed pixels or blob sizes. You might find it useful to turn on diagnostic images initially (and only for a while as they slow everything down a lot) which will output what ZM thinks the differences etc are are in the images.

While setting up a new server I omitted the "card=" and had the 133,132,133,133. 
This resulted in just blue screens. Once I figured out I had omitted the phrase "card=" and add it the card worked.

Set web user and group correctly and set the log dir to a writeable location.
With FC4 there are three things that must be done to get ZM running,:
#is in the /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ dir created a file with 775 perm called zm.conf and add the line '/usr/local/lib' to it and type 'ldconfig' once it is added, also with a fresh install of FC4 make sure SE linux is disabled if you are not using it. Check your log path in options under the paths tab. This will tell you were the log are going to be put.
#Second make sure the path exists.
#Third create the log files if they do not exist and make sure that they have the correct permissions. If zm can not open and write the log files, it will not start.

http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5657&highlight=repair+database+mysql
Mysql corrupted via bad BIOS.
I pulled the battery for 5 minutes and slapped it back in. I booted, then started zoneminder. It didn't lock up! I went into the interface and found several lines of 'incorrect key file for table: 'E'Try to repair it' before the regular interface began. I stopped zoneminder and went into mysql - sure enough, the events and frames tables both had errors. I repaired them and restarted zoneminder successfully. The system is now running; I'm going to let it be and see if it dies as it did before.

*My personal recommendation is to try converting your database over to INNODB tables.
Researching the web I found this to be faster for larger tables (as events grow) and much more reliable.

Mysql corrupted via bad BIOS.
I pulled the battery for 5 minutes and slapped it back in. I booted, then started zoneminder. It didn't lock up! I went into the interface and found several lines of 'incorrect key file for table: 'E'Try to repair it' before the regular interface began. I stopped zoneminder and went into mysql - sure enough, the events and frames tables both had errors. I repaired them and restarted zoneminder successfully. The system is now running; I'm going to let it be and see if it dies as it did before.

*My personal recommendation is to try converting your database over to INNODB tables.
Researching the web I found this to be faster for larger tables (as events grow) and much more reliable.

*All things are possible and the example someone posted a while back of detecting trucks and buses, but not cars, passing over a distant intersection is probably appropriate for you. What I would suggest you need are quite high pixel differences (indicating difference from the background) and pretty small counts of changed pixels or blob sizes. You might find it useful to turn on diagnostic images initially (and only for a while as they slow everything down a lot) which will output what ZM thinks the differences etc are are in the images.

*Fedora4 notes
http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5991 
Set web user and group correctly and set the log dir to a writeable location.
With FC4 there are three things that must be done to get ZM running,:
#is in the /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ dir created a file with 775 perm called zm.conf and add the line '/usr/local/lib' to it and type 'ldconfig' once it is added, also with a fresh install of FC4 make sure SE linux is disabled if you are not using it. Check your log path in options under the paths tab. This will tell you were the log are going to be put.
#Second make sure the path exists.
#Third create the log files if they do not exist and make sure that they have the correct permissions. If zm can not open and write the log files, it will not start.

*OpenSSl and openssl-devel
You should have these packages installed:
openssl,openssl-devel,php-mysql
To check if you have them, do
rpm -qa | grep openssl

http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5991 
Set web user and group correctly and set the log dir to a writeable location.
With FC4 there are three things that must be done to get ZM running,:
#is in the /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ dir created a file with 775 perm called zm.conf and add the line '/usr/local/lib' to it and type 'ldconfig' once it is added, also with a fresh install of FC4 make sure SE linux is disabled if you are not using it. Check your log path in options under the paths tab. This will tell you were the log are going to be put.
#Second make sure the path exists.
#Third create the log files if they do not exist and make sure that they have the correct permissions. If zm can not open and write the log files, it will not start.

*OpenSSl and openssl-devel
You should have these packages installed:
openssl,openssl-devel,php-mysql
To check if you have them, do

Mysql corrupted via bad BIOS.
I pulled the battery for 5 minutes and slapped it back in. I booted, then started zoneminder. It didn't lock up! I went into the interface and found several lines of 'incorrect key file for table: 'E'Try to repair it' before the regular interface began. I stopped zoneminder and went into mysql - sure enough, the events and frames tables both had errors. I repaired them and restarted zoneminder successfully. The system is now running; I'm going to let it be and see if it dies as it did before.

*My personal recommendation is to try converting your database over to INNODB tables.
Researching the web I found this to be faster for larger tables (as events grow) and much more reliable.

*All things are possible and the example someone posted a while back of detecting trucks and buses, but not cars, passing over a distant intersection is probably appropriate for you. What I would suggest you need are quite high pixel differences (indicating difference from the background) and pretty small counts of changed pixels or blob sizes. You might find it useful to turn on diagnostic images initially (and only for a while as they slow everything down a lot) which will output what ZM thinks the differences etc are are in the images.

http://www.cnssystems.ca/

*All things are possible and the example someone posted a while back of detecting trucks and buses, but not cars, passing over a distant intersection is probably appropriate for you. What I would suggest you need are quite high pixel differences (indicating difference from the background) and pretty small counts of changed pixels or blob sizes. You might find it useful to turn on diagnostic images initially (and only for a while as they slow everything down a lot) which will output what ZM thinks the differences etc are are in the images.

Add
modprobe bttv gbuffers=16 card=133,132,133,133

or
edit your modprobe.conf to include

options bttv gbuffers=16 card=133,132,133,133

requires a 2.6.12 kernel but fully supported in a 2.6.13
I tried and failed on the 2.6.12 but succeeded on the 2.6.13

Set web user and group correctly and set the log dir to a writeable location.
With FC4 there are three things that must be done to get ZM running,:
#is in the /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ dir created a file with 775 perm called zm.conf and add the line '/usr/local/lib' to it and type 'ldconfig' once it is added, also with a fresh install of FC4 make sure SE linux is disabled if you are not using it. Check your log path in options under the paths tab. This will tell you were the log are going to be put.
#Second make sure the path exists.
#Third create the log files if they do not exist and make sure that they have the correct permissions. If zm can not open and write the log files, it will not start.

I guess you are using the default module supplied with centos. I think, not sure about this though, that it is missing some capabilities. So I installed the pwc module (http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/INSTALL.en) and these crashes stopped.

1) is in the /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ dir created a file with 775 perm called zm.conf and add the line '/usr/local/lib' to it and type 'ldconfig' once it is added, also with a fresh install of FC4 make sure SE linux is disabled if you are not using it.

Mysql corrupted via bad BIOS.
I pulled the battery for 5 minutes and slapped it back in. I booted, then started zoneminder. It didn't lock up! I went into the interface and found several lines of 'incorrect key file for table: 'E'Try to repair it' before the regular interface began. I stopped zoneminder and went into mysql - sure enough, the events and frames tables both had errors. I repaired them and restarted zoneminder successfully. The system is now running; I'm going to let it be and see if it dies as it did before.

*My personal recommendation is to try converting your database over to INNODB tables.
Researching the web I found this to be faster for larger tables (as events grow) and much more reliable.

With FC4 there are two things that must be done to get ZM running,
1) is in the /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ dir created a file with 775 perm called zm.conf and add the line '/usr/local/lib' to it and type 'ldconfig' once it is added, also with a fresh install of FC4 make sure SE linux is disabled if you are not using it.

Mysql corrupted via bad BIOS.
I pulled the battery for 5 minutes and slapped it back in. I booted, then started zoneminder. It didn't lock up! I went into the interface and found several lines of 'incorrect key file for table: 'E'Try to repair it' before the regular interface began. I stopped zoneminder and went into mysql - sure enough, the events and frames tables both had errors. I repaired them and restarted zoneminder successfully. The system is now running; I'm going to let it be and see if it dies as it did before.

*My personal recommendation is to try converting your database over to INNODB tables.
Researching the web I found this to be faster for larger tables (as events grow) and much more reliable.

*All things are possible and the example someone posted a while back of detecting trucks and buses, but not cars, passing over a distant intersection is probably appropriate for you. What I would suggest you need are quite high pixel differences (indicating difference from the background) and pretty small counts of changed pixels or blob sizes. You might find it useful to turn on diagnostic images initially (and only for a while as they slow everything down a lot) which will output what ZM thinks the differences etc are are in the images.

Set web user and group correctly and set the log dir to a writeable location.
With FC4 there are two things that must be done to get ZM running,
1) is in the /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ dir created a file with 775 perm called zm.conf and add the line '/usr/local/lib' to it and type 'ldconfig' once it is added, also with a fresh install of FC4 make sure SE linux is disabled if you are not using it.
Check your log path in options under the paths tab. This will tell you were the log are going to be put. Second make sure the path exists. Third create the log files if they do not exist and make sure that they have the correct permissions. If zm can not open and write the log files, it will not start.

http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5657&highlight=repair+database+mysql
Mysql corrupted via bad BIOS.
I pulled the battery for 5 minutes and slapped it back in. I booted, then started zoneminder. It didn't lock up! I went into the interface and found several lines of 'incorrect key file for table: 'E'Try to repair it' before the regular interface began. I stopped zoneminder and went into mysql - sure enough, the events and frames tables both had errors. I repaired them and restarted zoneminder successfully. The system is now running; I'm going to let it be and see if it dies as it did before.

*My personal recommendation is to try converting your database over to INNODB tables.
Researching the web I found this to be faster for larger tables (as events grow) and much more reliable.

Edit your /etc/modprobe.conf file and add this line: options bttv card=77
"options bttv card =77" is a DEFAULT setting to get a card working.
All screens must be same resolution.

I guess you are using the default module supplied with centos. I think, not sure about this though, that it is missing some capabilities. So I installed the pwc module (http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/INSTALL.en) and these crashes stopped.

http://www.cnssystems.ca/

*All things are possible and the example someone posted a while back of detecting trucks and buses, but not cars, passing over a distant intersection is probably appropriate for you. What I would suggest you need are quite high pixel differences (indicating difference from the background) and pretty small counts of changed pixels or blob sizes. You might find it useful to turn on diagnostic images initially (and only for a while as they slow everything down a lot) which will output what ZM thinks the differences etc are are in the images.
