README for eyeZm iPhone App and ZoneMinder XML Plugin
|
|
|
|
This small installer package will install additional PHP scripts to your ZoneMinder
|
|
directory which will allow XML viewing of certain parts of your install. This is intended
|
|
for use with the eyeZm iPhone application, but can be used for other purposes as well.
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
Requirements:
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
- eyeZm 1.0+ for iOS 4 (http://www.eyezm.com)
|
|
- ZoneMinder 1.24.1 or 1.24.2
|
|
- FFMPEG, installed in a sensible place that is in your path (for event viewing)
|
|
- PHP enabled on your Apache server (which it probably is)
|
|
- Elevated/SUDO access. This script must be run with a user who can change permissions.
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
Install:
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
To install, simply type ./install as the right user. If on Ubuntu/Debian, sudo ./install works fine.
|
|
|
|
You must execute the installer with elevated permission, else you will see error messages.
|
|
|
|

|
|
eyeZm Performance:
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Performance of the eyeZm application is heavily dependent on your network connection, as well as
|
|
ZoneMinder server speed.
|
|
|
|
Live Feed viewing, or viewing of events may take longer on 3G Networks due to bandwidth requirements.
|
|
If using eyeZm on WiFi, most of the time any performance issues are due to the speed of the ZoneMinder
|
|
server, and not the network.
|
|
|
|
-----------------
|
|
Potential Issues:
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
After the above steps are completed, you should be able use the 'Test Connection' feature on the
|
|
eyeZm application to connect to your server. Use any alerted error messages, or the 'View Log' feature
|
|
of eyeZm to debug connection issues.
|
|
|
|
Once 'Test connection' passes, two potential issues that people have encountered are 1) Event Viewing
|
|
not working, and 2) Live feed doesn't update.
|
|
|
|
Issue 1:
|
|
|
|
When clicking on an event to view in eyeZm, if you don't see any output after the 'Please Wait' disappears,
|
|
there is a chance that FFMPEG is not installed on your system correctly. Ensure that your Ffmpeg installation
|
|
is accessible in your path, and is executable by the username that Apache runs under. Please email support
|
|
(below) if you still have issues after verifying this.
|
|
|
|
Issue 2:
|
|
|
|
When trying to view a Live Feed of one of your monitors, if you see an initial image but it does not refresh
|
|
subsequently, there is a good chance that browser detection on your ZoneMinder installation is not patched
|
|
to work correctly.
|
|
|
|
See the following thread for the issue and fix: http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15429
|
|
|
|
This issue should get patched in future versions of ZoneMinder, and is not patched as part of the XML
|
|
plugin installation since it is out of it's scope.
