ZoneMinder

ZoneMinder is an opensource monitoring tool.

Prerequisites

Installation

ZoneMinder is available at SBo.

ONVIF cameras

If you want to use ONVIF cameras

  • Install perl-Data-UUID (from Slackbuilds)
  • Install other Perl modules via CPan:
# perl -MCPAN -e 'install Class::Std::Fast, Data::Dump, SOAP::WSDL::Transport::HTTP, IO::Socket::Multicast'

Database

# mysql -u root -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql 
# mysql -u root -p 
      grant select,insert,update,delete,lock tables,alter,create on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass'; #NOTE: zmuser and zmpass is found in /etc/zm.conf
      select User,Host from mysql.user;  #Check and make zmuser was created
      quit

The SELECT command (above) should reply:

  MariaDB [(none)]> select User,Host from mysql.user;
  +--------+------------+
  | User   | Host       |
  +--------+------------+
  | root   | 127.0.0.1  |
  | root   | ::1        |
  |        | localhost  |
  | root   | localhost  |
