@sfoskett @homeassistant I’ve been using anpviz basic fixed dome cameras which are solid hardware but the support and firmware updates are nonexistent. Does Reolink have a basic fixed dome camera that plays well with #HomeAssistant and #zoneminder?

I don't even have it fully configured and working right, but I already

#frigate as a #security #camera setup.

Motion detection + object tracking works multiple levels above where it was with #zoneminder. It IDs every car going down the street and often in the parking lot a block away, plus the half-a-car poking over the hill from my neighbor.

It has reinvigorated me to set up some additional camerae in key spots of the yard plus maybe a birdfeeder one?

A while ago I adjusted my #Zoneminder setup to use ffmpeg as source type.

However since that change I noticed that all recorded events now started with a grey "layer" before the actual video.

To fix this, the #ffmpeg encoder parameters need to be set in the monitor (camera) settings. Here's how 👇

Tonight's fun: I'm running lighttpd on because that's what smokeping wanted and I also got pi-hole and zoneminder running on it. BUT .. zoneminder API stuff doesn't work because it depends on apache mod_rewrite. So, poking at this to see if I can make lighttpd's rewrite work for this. All this brought upon because the HomeAssistant integration for zoneminder needs the API URLs to work.

Picked up this "AI" camera for $15. I'm going to see if I can integrate it into my existing Zonemimder setup (if there's a video stream I should be able to do something). Of course, only after I connect it to an airgapped laptop so I can see what weird URLs it's trying to connect to. Also, it seems to require an app, but I'm hoping I can get around that.

The illustration on the back is top notch!

#Frigate or #ZoneMinder?

For my second thesis; I'll wow you with:

- a #pihole-like box wired to your router, connecting all surveillance cameras on your farm exclusively to...
- a local install of #viseron, #zoneminder or #frigate, with #RT_DETR powered accelerated detection of predators...
- using #MQTT to trigger a predator repel system (audio, lights)...
- with alerts, actions and media externally available via app/pwa...
- using #headscale or #nebula

WIP!

@julia Literally any #ONVIF Profile-S compliant IP camera.

Unfortunately they're not exactly cheap, but if you don't care about Ingress Protection ratings there are a few around 90~150$/ea you can setup with #ZoneMinder.

I kinda dread setting up #Zoneminder (or #HomeAssistant?) but I and managing my own cameras, but I also don't want to have my video stored on someone else's server, nor do I want to have to put up with this sort of nonsense...

Any #FLOSS #Linux security #camera / #DVR recommendations? I've been using #Zoneminder for years, but I tire of its constant high CPU usage, ancient motion detection algorithms, etc. So far, #Frigate, #iSpy, and #Shinobi look interesting. The #HomeAssistant integration in them is a plus, and #Frigate has ML offload to a TPU (available as a USB dongle) for dramatic reduction in CPU and power usage (and more sophisticated detection; differentiating cars from people, etc.) #AskFedi

Turns out I already installed #ZoneMinder. So I'll stick with it. I just need to get the cameras set up and installed.

I've used #ZoneMinder in the past for security cameras. Is that still the way to go?

It'll be on a Linux Mint box that's already hosting some other things, and I'd rather not hassle with containers.

I've got a WD Purple disk set aside for video. I just need something to handle monitoring the IP cameras for motion and capturing the relevant footage.

@devil ciao, ho usato tempo fa per qualche mese #ZoneMinder. Non sono un esperto di videosorveglianza e quindi penso di non averlo sfruttato neanche al 10%... Ma secondo me è tanta roba!

Yes that's right - ZoneMinder v1.37.40 running on Slackware64 15 with green logs.

Whats that? Yes - GREEN FOOKIN LOGS!

Is there a #zoneminder compatible #surveillance camera that supports #ipv6 ?
I just got a hikvision HWC-C120-D/W which claims to support IPv6 but so far only has a link-local address 🤮 which is not sufficient.
There are also no configuration parameters for IPv6 at all.

When I wanted to update the #ZoneMinder package on my Debian machine, I ran into an apt error (public key is not available). This happens because the public #GPG key (used for package signing) was renewed. The new key needs to be added to the list of apt's trusted gpg keys.

Here's how to update the key and run the package update on #Debian 11 (Bullseye).

@astrid Not that much tbh, #zoneminder is fairly mature and pushing records to a remote endpoint periodically is easy-enough with a #cronjob.

We're out for most of tomorrow and would like to be able to see what our dog is doing, so introducing dogcam2, now with more #containers!

Hardware:
* Thinkpad X200 booted off an extrnal drive that miraculously has a working internal camera
* Literally the cheapest Logitech webcam I've ever laid eyes on
* Raspberry Pi A+ with a #pimoroni pan-tilt hat (yes, this is a gen 1 Pi)

Software:
* Modified version of https://github.com/ZoneMinder/zmdockerfiles (changes will be pushed soon)
* Motion: https://motion-project.github.io/
* Raspberry Pi ONVIF Server (RPOS), forked to add libcamera support: https://github.com/SkUrRiEr/rpos
* https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pliablepixels.zmninja_pro

Motion is running on the x200 and is streaming both the Logitech camera and the internal webcam. RPOS is running (barely) on the Pi and is configured to use the pan-tilt hat. #Zoneminder is running in a container on the X200 with a containerised version of MariaDB. Both computers are connected to WiFi and the router is configured to poke a hole in the firewall for external access.

Zoneminder is monitoring all three cameras and knows about the ONVIF stuff so it can move the camera on the Pi.

We've got a big four pane sliding door and a kitchen window opening onto the back yard, so the laptop is on a bar table angled to watch the kennel and the area around it through the sliding door, the Logitech camera is pointed at our front door and the Pi is on a tripod over the sink looking out the window.

Between these the two cameras there's basically nowhere he can go in the yard that we can't see, and the Logitech cam gives me the possibility of spotting a break-in - which won't happen, but I'm feeling paranoid.
