IP Network Cameras

  • OBS Studios, also known as Open Broadcaster Software, is a free and open source software program for live streaming and video recording. Features of the software include device/source capture, recording, encoding and broadcasting. Stream on Windows, Mac or Linux.
  • ZoneMinder can also be accessed as if it were another camera, using a Remote Path such as. IEI Technology Corp.

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.

Download ZoneMinder To get started, you'll need to download ZoneMinder. Packages make it super easy to install, and we offer the source code for those that want full control.

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 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 [1]
  • GXV3504 Grandstream 4 channel video encoder.
  • Hikvision HD Analog (With errors)
  • Samsung uses AHD cameras, and possibly NTSC/PAL cameras.

Capture Cards

Leadtek WinFast VC 100 - the cheapest bt878 model with no tuner on it, just Com/Svideo in.

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!


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

Bt878_4chip_8inputs -4 chips bt878, 8 inputs, around 5 fps when using 2 inputs per chip

bt878 8 chip 8 input - This card is supplied with D-sub to 8 BNC connector and uses the bt878 chip for each input allowing full frame rates and quality. See Kodicom 8800 for more information.

Geovision GV250 bt878a single chip 4 inputs - This capture Card is supplied with 4 video inputs but with NO audio channel

Most other BTTV (bt878, bt848) cards, see /usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/bttv/CARDLIST on your system for a list. You can also find more details on the BTTV module, such as parameters to pass via insmod, in the kernel andon the v4l wiki 2nd link

Analog Cameras

Any regular composite or S-video camera connected via a supported capture card. Some analog cameras feature camera control - ZM supports several of these camera's Pan/Tilt/Zoom functions via serial port control, as well as camera Presets, Focus, Iris, etc.

  • PictureTel PTZ2N.

USB Cameras

  • Just Zoom USB cam

  • Creative Webcam Pro, Webcam 3, LIVE! Cam OPTIA PRO (V4L2, Chan 0, PAL, YUYV)
  • Most UVCvideo cameras, including: Advent AWC213, Creative Labs VF0420, Logitech QuickCam Express, Logitech HD C270, QuickCam Pro 3000, QuickCam Pro 4000, QuickCam Communicate STX/Deluxe, Logitech Webcam Pro 9000, Webcam C250, and Logitech C525.
  • Logitech Quickcam Orbit/Sphere (experimental basic pan/tilt control has also published for testing and hacking [3])
  • Any OV511 based USB camera [4]
  • Any CPIA based USB camera [5]
  • Confirmed basic functionality with Microsoft Lifecam VX 5000 using UVC Streaming method
  • Company name: PU`Aimetis model: PUAN-3656 (2MP / Max resolution: 1920*1080, MJPEG - 1920X1080 @ 30fps / YUV2 - 1920X1080 @ 5fps)

Note that most USB cameras that can use Video4Linux/V4L2, and so can be used by ZoneMinder. Some 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:

X10 Devices

The only device that really needs to be compatable with ZM is the Transceiver, all other x10 devices comunicate through that device.

With ZM, you may want to use a 2nd HDD dedicated for videos only, with no OS or db files on it.

  • 1ZoneMinder 1.31 or Newer
  • 3Tips/Troubleshooting

ZoneMinder 1.31 or Newer

Please follow the steps shown on our readthedocs site:http://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installationguide/dedicateddrive.html

Web Console Instructions

Here is a guide for users with 1.32.3 or newer, to add a storage device to ZM via the web portal.

1. From the console, navigate to options.

2. In options, navigate to storage.

3. Choose Add New Storage.

4. Configure paths appropriately. Here I have an external ext4 filesystem SSD which is mounted at /video/. For those curious, the scheme refers to how the files are named as they are saved in the directory. In old versions of ZM, there were a number of sub directories, (e.g. month 11 would be directory 11, day 30 would be directory 30 in folder 11, for 11/30, and so on, for year, day, hour, etc.). This option is kept for backwards compatibility, but also a newer simpler scheme is available. The default is medium and that will suffice for most.

5. After that is added and saved, return to the console. Click source tab to configure where the camera stores video. Here we have the option of configuring where each camera can store its videos. This means you can have multiple HDDs, with multiple cameras, and split the storage across as many or as few HDDs as you wish. Camera 1 can record to HDD1, and Camera 2 can record to HDD2. Or you can have both Camera 1 and 2 on HDD1.

6. In the source of each camera, configure where you want to save the videos.

7. Make sure permissions are set correctly. The folder must allocate write and read permissions to www-data (debian) or apache (rhel). See the picture above for details. Note that some filesystems don't support all permissions, so it's recommended to use ext4, unless you know what you are doing.

8. We now need a filter, that will delete on our new storage area. Navigate to filters from the console.

9. Choose the PurgeWhenFull filter. Add storage area and the default will be equal to, which will work. Choose your new storage area from the drop down. You can test the filter now, by clicking on List Matches. Click save, to make the changes permanent.

zmfilter has a log file in /var/log/zm/zmfilter.log if you've enabled these log files, and it can be tailed to view the filter in action.

ZoneMinder 1.30.4 or Older

Note: Here is a reliable method to mount a drive or external share using systemd in Ubuntu or Debian:https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Common_Issues_with_Zoneminder_Installation_on_Ubuntu#Use_Systemd_to_Mount_Internal_Drive_or_NASThis can also be done in Centos or Red Hat distros.

On many installs you may wish to dedicate a hard drive or partition for Zoneminder events. There are many reasons why you may want to change the storage location - security, data segregation, preventing encroachment onto OS partition by zoneminder etc.

It's not terribly difficult to do, but may be non-obvious to the untaught so here's a brief guide.

Some commands here are based on Debian/Ubuntu installs

1. Become root or 'sudo -s' to gain root privs.

2. Stop Zoneminder. 'service zoneminder stop', '/usr/bin/zmpkg.pl stop', or 'systemctl stop zoneminder'

3. Mount your new partition onto the root filesystem, ensuring it is automatically remounted at boot time by editing /etc/fstab -- For the benefit of this guide, I'm calling my new partition /newdrive Non banking financial institutions pdf.

Note this new partition can be a local drive, raid partition, lvm/md device, external NAS, SAN, NFS share or SMB share. The only condition is that the I/O throughput should be up to handling what Zoneminder will throw at it. For that speed reason, some favour non-journalled filesystems and accept the extra risk of data corruption

4. Locate Zoneminder's 'events' and 'images' directories. In Debian and Ubuntu, these are under /var/cache/zoneminder. In CentOS and Fedora, these are under /var/lib/zoneminder.

If you wish to copy the data across, MOVE the events and images directories to /newdrive/zoneminder (Note this will take a long time on systems with many events). Also, DO NOT restart zoneminder until this entire process is completed. Doing so will cause all your events to be lost!

If you don't wish to preserve the data, it is MUCH faster to simply delete or rename the original events and images dirs and create new directories in /newdrive/zoneminder. There is no need to remove the 'orphaned' entries in the database, zmaudit will take care of those.

Eg:

mkdir /newdrive/zoneminder/events

mv /var/lib/zoneminder/events/* /var/lib/zoneminder/events_old/-- or --rm -rf /var/lib/zoneminder/events/

Add these lines in fstab to bind-mount an alternate location:

or in some cases,

or if you have a separate partition for each:

(Repeat for images)


5. Ensure ZoneMinder can write to the new destination by changing the owner and group to that of the web server user account. Debian based distros typically use 'www-data' as the web server user account while many rpm based distros use 'apache'.

You will also want to make sure the proper permissions are set in your /var folder, e.g. for debian

chown -R www-data:www-data /var/cache/zoneminder/

6. Finally, mount /newdrive and test your fstab entries ('mount -a'). Restart zoneminder ( 'service zoneminder start', '/usr/bin/zmpkg.pl start', or 'systemctl start zoneminder') Monitor its operation and ensure new events are being created normally and are viewable. Zoneminder should also update the 'Disk: %%' on its Console screen to reflect the disk space on its new partition.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Question:Why can't I just symlink the newdrive to the events folder?Answer: Because it does not work in every case. Many rpm and deb packages need the file folders set up exactly the way they were when the first zoneminder package was installed. Changing that around can cause package upgrades to fail, or worse you could lose all your data!

Question:I noticed that there is an events folder under /usr/share/zoneminder/www, can I mount my dedicated hard drive or volume to that folder?Answer:This will not work in every case either and should be avoided. The events and images folders under /usr/share/zoneminder/www are actually symbolic links that point to the real folders under /var/lib/zoneminder (or /var/cache/zoneminder). Altering this in any way has the same affect as the answer to the first question.
