================================

|
|
|
This is the FAQ page. Feel free to contribute any FAQs that you think are missing.
|
|
|
|
Why can't I view all of my monitors in Montage view?
|
|
----------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. You will most likely need to increase `mysql_max_connections` in my.cnf.
|
|
2. If using Firefox, you may need to increase `network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server` in `about:config`.

How do I enable ZoneMinder's security?
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
You may also consider to use the web server security, for example, htaccess files under Apache, or mod_auth.
|
|
|
|
1. In the console, click on Options.
|
|
2. Check the box next to "ZM_OPT_USE_AUTH".
|
|
3. Click Save
|
|
4. You will immediately be asked to login. The username is 'admin' and the password is 'admin'.

To Manage Users
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
1. In main console, go to Options->Users.
|
|
|
|
The "Zones" view for a Monitor is blank (I can't see / setup a Zone)
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Snapshots and Zones images are stored in the `images` directory in your webroot.
|
|
Ensure that the `images` directory is writable by the user which ZoneMinder is
|
|
running as. If the `images` directory is a symlink, ensure that your web server
|
|
has access to that directory as well.

How do the 3 AlarmCheckMethods interact?
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In example, if I set the alarm % to 5-10% and the filtered and blob to 1-100%, what happens?
|
|
|
|
1. If any of the min/max values is 0, the check that the value is applied to is skipped.
|
|
2. If you have a min-alarmed area and you're below that, then it quits.
|
|
3. If you have a max-alarmed area and you're above that, then it quits.
|
|
4. If you're on filtered or blobs
|
|
|
|
1. and have a min filtered area that you're below then it quits
|
|
2. and have a max filtered area that you're above then it quits
|
|
|
|
5. If you're on blobs
|
|
|
|
1. any blob smaller than the min blob area (if set) is discarded
|
|
2. any blob larger than the max blob area (if set) is discarded
|
|
3. If there are less remaining blobs than the minimum-blobs, then it quits.
|
|
4. If there are more remaining blobs than the maximum-blobs, then it quits.
|
|
|
|
If AlarmedPixels is selected, you can only enter min/max pixel threshold and
|
|
min/max alarmed area. If FilteredPixels is selected, the Blob options are
|
|
disabled. The Blob check method allows you to specify all options. Filtered
|
|
adds more checks than alarmed, and blobs adds more checks than filtered. The
|
|
final 'score' is calculated using final check method.
