Zoneminder in Ubuntu since the 11.10 version is compiled with the mmap option. I am running an Optiplex 755 with a dual core processor, 4 GIG RAM and 160 GIG hard drive. I have 12 Linksys IP cameras with Modect operational. I have run this install and have set up the 12 cameras in about an hour!<br /> <br /> Note: This also works for Ubuntu 13.04. I have also tested this with a Ubuntu desktop install on 12.04 and 13.04. I tested this with Teamviewer for Linux to enable a client to view cameras without the need for port forwarding and/or dynamic DNS. Setting this up is an entire topic in itself!<br /> <br /> <br /> Install Ubuntu<br /> <br /> There are plenty of sources for instructions on how to install Ubuntu.<br /> <br /> Install Basic Server (if you used the mini.iso), OpenSSH Server, and LAMP Server.<br /> <br /> Reboot server.<br /> <br /> Log in then become root:<br /> <br /> sudo su<br /> <br /> apt-get update<br /> apt-get upgrade<br /> apt-get dist-upgrade<br /> <br /> <br /> Optional: Set static IP address<br /> <br /> nano /etc/network/interfaces<br /> <br /> Make changes similar to this:<br /> <br /> auto eth0<br /> iface eth0 inet static<br /> address 192.168.1.10<br /> netmask 255.255.255.0<br /> gateway 192.168.1.1<br /> dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1 68.87.75.194<br /> <br /> Note: for Ubuntu 12.04 the resolv.conf is dynamically assigned. The &quot;dns-servers&quot; entry in the interfaces file will set the DNS Multiple DNS server entries can be used.<br /> <br /> Ctrl+o Enter to save<br /> <br /> CTRL+x to exit<br /> <br /> Reboot server<br /> <br /> From this point on I used Putty from another PC to configure the server.<br /> <br /> Install Zoneminder<br /> <br /> Log in then become root<br /> <br /> sudo su<br /> <br /> Install PPA Repository for Zoneminder 1.26.4-2<br /> <br /> apt-get install python-software-properties<br /> <br /> add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder<br /> <br /> apt-get update<br /> <br /> apt-get install zoneminder<br /> <br /> Note: You will be prompted to configure Nullmailer during the Zoneminder install. You can leave the program un-configured if you do not plan to have the server email alerts. Or search for instructions to configure Nullmailer.<br /> <br /> Add the H.264 packages if wanted.<br /> <br /> apt-get install x264<br /> <br /> Add delay to allow MySQL to start before Zoneminder<br /> <br /> nano /etc/init.d/zoneminder<br /> <br /> Add above &quot;zmfix -a&quot; sleep 15<br /> <br /> Ctrl+o Enter to save<br /> <br /> CTRL+x to exit<br /> <br /> Link Apache to Zoneminder<br /> <br /> <br /> ln -s /etc/zm/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/zoneminder.conf<br /> <br /> /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload <br /> <br /> adduser www-data video<br /> <br /> Optional Install Cambozola<br /> <br /> cd /usr/src &amp;&amp; wget http://www.charliemouse.com:8080/code/cambozola/cambozola-latest.tar.gz<br /> <br /> tar -xzvf cambozola-latest.tar.gz<br /> <br /> replace &quot;931&quot; with cambozola version downloaded<br /> <br /> cp cambozola-0.931/dist/cambozola.jar /usr/share/zoneminder<br /> <br /> Optional Add SSL to Apache2<br /> <br /> Create a self-signed certificate:<br /> <br /> make-ssl-cert generate-default-snakeoil --force-overwrite<br /> <br /> Activate Apache SSL module:<br /> <br /> a2enmod ssl<br /> <br /> Activate Apache default ssl virtual host:<br /> <br /> a2ensite default-ssl<br /> <br /> Restart Apache:<br /> <br /> service apache2 restart<br /> <br /> <br /> You should now be able to access the web server using https://serverip<br /> <br /> NTP Daily Sync<br /> <br /> nano /etc/cron.daily/ntpdate<br /> <br /> Copy the following two lines into nano<br /> <br /> #!/bin/sh<br /> ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com<br /> <br /> Note: replace ntp.ubuntu.com with the time server(s) of your choice.
