About
/usr/bin/zmtrigger.pl is an optional perl script for zoneminder. See the script for a brief description. One way it can be used is to overlay text information from an outside source (say a temperature sensor) onto the video feed.
Configuration
Enable it first, by going into options, config, and clicking Enable Triggers.
Then # service restart zoneminder
Verify it is running with ps auxw | grep zmtrigger
Overlaying Text Data onto a Video Feed
After you have verified the script is running, test it is working.
Choose a monitor, say monitor 1, then add %Q to the monitors timestamp section.
The monitor must be in either modect, mocord, or nodect mode.
Open the video feed for monitor 1.
Then type in another terminal
telnet ipaddress 6082</code
in the telnet session type the following
3|show||||testingOSD
then press return.
Refer to Documentation for what this command means.
If done correctly, you should immediately see testingOSD in place of the %Q you put in the timestamps section.
For more examples of how to use ZMTrigger see the forums.
