ZoneMinder

Build Status Bountysource

All documentation for ZoneMinder is now online at http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Documentation

Overview

ZoneMinder is an integrated set of applications which provide a complete surveillance solution allowing capture, analysis, recording and monitoring of any CCTV or security cameras attached to a Linux based machine. It is designed to run on distributions which support the Video For Linux (V4L) interface and has been tested with video cameras attached to BTTV cards, various USB cameras and also supports most IP network cameras.

Requirements

If you are installing ZoneMinder from a package, that package should provide all of the needed core components.

Packages

If you are compiling ZoneMinder from source, the below list contains the packages needed to get ZoneMinder built:

Ubuntu

A fresh build based on master branch running Ubuntu 1204 LTS. Will likely work for other versions as well.

root@host:~# aptitude install -y apache2 mysql-server php5 php5-mysql build-essential libmysqlclient-dev libssl-dev libbz2-dev libpcre3-dev libdbi-perl libarchive-zip-perl libdate-manip-perl libdevice-serialport-perl libmime-perl libpcre3 libwww-perl libdbd-mysql-perl libsys-mmap-perl yasm automake autoconf libjpeg8-dev libjpeg8 apache2-mpm-prefork libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cli libphp-serialization-perl libgnutls-dev libjpeg8-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libavutil-dev libv4l-dev libtool ffmpeg libnetpbm10-dev libavdevice-dev libmime-lite-perl dh-autoreconf dpatch;

root@host:~# git clone https://github.com/ZoneMinder/ZoneMinder.git zoneminder;
root@host:~# cd zoneminder;
root@host:~# ln -s distros/ubuntu1204 debian;
root@host:~# dpkg-checkbuilddeps;
root@host:~# dpkg-buildpackage;

One level above you'll now find a deb package matching the architecture of the build host:

root@host:~# ls -1 ~/zoneminder*;
/root/zoneminder_1.26.4-1_amd64.changes
/root/zoneminder_1.26.4-1_amd64.deb
/root/zoneminder_1.26.4-1.dsc
/root/zoneminder_1.26.4-1.tar.gz

The dpkg command itself does not resolve dependencies. That's what high-level interfaces like aptitude and apt-get are normally for. Unfortunately, unlike RPM, there's no easy way to install a separate deb package not contained with any repository.

To overcome this "limitation" we'll use dpkg only to install the zoneminder package and apt-get to fetch all needed dependencies afterwards. Running dpkg-reconfigure in the end will ensure that the setup scripts e.g. for database provisioning were executed.

root@host:~# dpkg -i /root/zoneminder_1.26.4-1_amd64.deb; apt-get install -f;
root@host:~# dpkg-reconfigure zoneminder;

Alternatively you may also use gdebi to automatically resolve dependencies during installation:

root@host:~# aptitude install -y gdebi;
root@host:~# gdebi /root/zoneminder_1.26.4-1_amd64.deb;
sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php5 php5-mysql build-essential libmysqlclient-dev libssl-dev libbz2-dev \
libpcre3-dev libdbi-perl libarchive-zip-perl libdate-manip-perl libdevice-serialport-perl libmime-perl libpcre3 \
libwww-perl libdbd-mysql-perl libsys-mmap-perl yasm automake autoconf libjpeg-turbo8-dev libjpeg-turbo8 \
apache2-mpm-prefork libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cli

Debian

A fresh build based on master branch running Debian 7 (wheezy):

root@host:~# aptitude install -y apache2 mysql-server php5 php5-mysql build-essential libmysqlclient-dev libssl-dev libbz2-dev libpcre3-dev libdbi-perl libarchive-zip-perl libdate-manip-perl libdevice-serialport-perl libmime-perl libpcre3 libwww-perl libdbd-mysql-perl libsys-mmap-perl yasm automake autoconf libjpeg8-dev libjpeg8 apache2-mpm-prefork libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cli libphp-serialization-perl libgnutls-dev libjpeg8-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libavutil-dev libv4l-dev libtool ffmpeg libnetpbm10-dev libavdevice-dev libmime-lite-perl dh-autoreconf dpatch;

root@host:~# git clone https://github.com/ZoneMinder/ZoneMinder.git zoneminder;
root@host:~# cd zoneminder;
root@host:~# ln -s distros/debian;
root@host:~# dpkg-checkbuilddeps;
root@host:~# dpkg-buildpackage;

One level above you'll now find a deb package matching the architecture of the build host:

root@host:~# ls -1 ~/zoneminder*;
/root/zoneminder_1.26.4-1_amd64.changes
/root/zoneminder_1.26.4-1_amd64.deb
/root/zoneminder_1.26.4-1.dsc
/root/zoneminder_1.26.4-1.tar.gz

The dpkg command itself does not resolve dependencies. That's what high-level interfaces like aptitude and apt-get are normally for. Unfortunately, unlike RPM, there's no easy way to install a separate deb package not contained with any repository.

To overcome this "limitation" we'll use dpkg only to install the zoneminder package and apt-get to fetch all needed dependencies afterwards. Running dpkg-reconfigure in the end will ensure that the setup scripts e.g. for database provisioning were executed.

root@host:~# dpkg -i /root/zoneminder_1.26.4-1_amd64.deb; apt-get install -f;
root@host:~# dpkg-reconfigure zoneminder;

Alternatively you may also use gdebi to automatically resolve dependencies during installation:

root@host:~# aptitude install -y gdebi;
root@host:~# gdebi /root/zoneminder_1.26.4-1_amd64.deb;

CentOS / RHEL

Additional repositories must be added before one can build zoneminder on CentOS or RHEL:

  1. Zmrepo ZoneMinder WiKi
  2. EPEL https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
  3. RPMFusion: http://rpmfusion.org/

When adding third party repositories, it is highly recommended that the user also install and configure yum priorities as documented in the CentOS WiKi

Prioritize the repositories:

  1. Base
  2. EPEL
  3. RPMFusion
  4. Zmrepo

Once your repos are in order, install the following:

sudo yum install cmake bzip2-devel ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel gnutls-devel httpd libjpeg-turbo libjpeg-turbo-devel mysql-devel mysql-server pcre-devel \
perl-Archive-Tar perl-Archive-Zip perl-Convert-BinHex perl-Date-Manip perl-DBD-MySQL perl-DBI perl-Device-SerialPort perl-Email-Date-Format perl-IO-stringy \
perl-IO-Zlib perl-MailTools perl-MIME-Lite perl-MIME-tools perl-MIME-Types perl-Module-Load perl-Package-Constants perl-Sys-Mmap perl-Time-HiRes \
perl-TimeDate perl-YAML-Syck perl-X10 perl-URI-Encode php php-cli php-mysql x264 vlc-devel vlc-core \
libcurl libcurl-devel polkit-devel git

To build from the master branch:

git clone https://github.com/ZoneMinder/ZoneMinder.git
cd ZoneMinder
cmake .
make
sudo make install

IMPORTANT: Don't forget the trailing "." when calling cmake

Docker

Docker is a system to run applications inside isolated containers. ZoneMinder, and the ZM webserver, will run using the Dockerfile contained in this repository. However, there is still work needed to ensure that the main ZM features work properly and are documented.

ffmpeg

This release of ZoneMinder has been tested on and works with ffmpeg version N-55540-g93f4277.

Contribution Model and Development

Pull requests are very welcome! If you would like to contribute, please follow the following steps.

  1. Fork the repo
  2. Open an issue at our GitHub Issues Tracker. Describe the bug that you've found, or the feature which you're asking for. Jot down the issue number (e.g. 456)
  3. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b 456-my-new-feature)
  4. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Added some feature') It is preferred that you 'commit early and often' instead of bunching all changes into a single commit.
  5. Push your branch to your fork on github (git push origin 456-my-new-feature)
  6. Create new Pull Request
  7. The team will then review, discuss and hopefully merge your changes.

Package Maintainters

Many of the ZoneMinder configration variable default values are not configurable at build time through autotools or cmake. A new tool called zmeditconfigdata.sh has been added to allow package maintainers to manipulate any variable stored in ConfigData.pm without patching the source.

For example, let's say I have created a new ZoneMinder package that contains the cambolzola javascript file. However, by default cambozola support is turned off. To fix that, add this to the pacakging script:

./utils/zmeditconfigdata.sh ZM_OPT_CAMBOZOLA yes

Note that zmeditconfigdata.sh is intended to be called, from the root build folder, prior to running cmake or configure.
