Watchdog version 1 released with Zoneminder
Went to the shop and the C210 is out of stock. Stymied again. Both my inbuilt webcam and USB plugged cheapie will work and save images in various webcam apps but they refuse to work with all the settings i have tried in various zoneminders Pussy, puppy 525, catdudes wary, and both watchdog versions. Later zoneminder versions have settings different to the screenshots you have posted. It is those that i was looking for. Moving about for the next few days so this is put aside for now.
I'm not sure what you mean by "Later zoneminder versions" mine says 1.24.2 from the console, its no more than a month or so old.
I think I found my problem. I booted in recovery mode and got this message;
Starting Zoneminder: DBI connect('database=zm;host=localhost','zmuser',...) failed:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) at /user/share/perl5/ZoneMinder/Config.pm line 89
Can't call method “prepare_cached

here is my text of pussy zoneminder install run. maybe of use.
my install run shows apache/mysql errors because i had already installed and was running these when i did the install. but it did not affect the outcome adversely.
will post a screenshot of my console setup and version later.

That does sound worthwhile as I read elsewhere, and here, that it could solve a number of problems which users have experienced.
It's easy for me to say since it's your knowledge and time that will make it happen!

Put it in the folder that all the other squashfs are in and reboot. Open a browser at localhost/zoneminder
http://puppylinuxstuff.meownplanet.net/ ... e.squashfs 90ish MB
nice if someone who has a known working camera could test it. or create a new squash cow that makes it work

I have Zoneminder 1.24.4 and now the zcowsave.squashfs file
Please bring me up to speed as to what is necessary to run the desired tests.

the zcowsave.squashfs is for use in pussy. It is only for use when the apt-get install of zoneminer is failing for some unknown reason. Or to try and get the zcowsave to work for me to use. So to test it, first need to install pussy then follow my previous post. It is so long ago that i made it that i dont recall if i had previously installed xampp for the apache/mysql/php.edoc wrote:I have Zoneminder 1.24.4 and now the zcowsave.squashfs file

I got zoneminder running on my project desktop (Pentium4 Ubuntu 10.04) but I've been watching the CPU Resources running ZM (or not) bounce up near 100%. Thinking I need a slimmer OS like Pussy.
For the most part I'm stuck right now, trying to research what card and cameras to buy that won't be a mistake
First try or two with pussy on it I couldn't get anywhere. EDIT; From the old desktop if I try startx all I get is a lacy looking pattern across the top of the screen - hard boot to get out of it. On the laptop PentiumR M pussy displays the pussy operating system with user & pass graphic then loads a bunch of other stuff, the desktop just sits there until I hit enter. [endof edit]
This morning I tried pussy on my laptop, very cool! I haven't figured out how to get my Kensington bluetooth trackball to work and I don't have wired internet - I'll try that next time.
I assume the squashfs is all about running pussy off a HD and that begs this question;
Is there a special pussy download - iso for a thumb drive or can I just take the files off the cd?

My zoneminder/pussy is on my SDcard that i grub boot from my internal SSD.
Pussy is just the files extracted from the iso into a folder. The grub code to use is at the pussy thread. Same frugal method i use for all puppys but different grub code required for pussy. So if you made a grub enabled USB flashdrive then frugal installed pussy it would work. Then put the zm squashfs in the folder too. For hardware issues best to ask at the pussy thread.

I am probably missing the obvious but could you post a link to the URL where the pussy version of the Puppy OS may be downloaded, please?

A couple of observations:
1. I cannot find a URL for hotROXpussy - which sounds as though it may be a more-developed or specialized version of pussy.
2. It may be filters or something but I get no results at all when searching for puppy linux pussy or for hotROX pussy - perhaps you need to make the name less-likely to trigger filters - since there are more of them at every level every day. (e.g. Filters at the pc-level, in routers, at DNS-level like opendns.com, at ISP's, etc)
It is a shame to work so hard to create a useful app or OS only to have it rendered, by filters, really difficult for potential users to find.
What about pussinpaws? (A take-off on Puss-in-Boots)

perhaps post in pussy thread. I am thinking i am going to use the webcam app in saluki called ucview to save images to an xampp localhost folder and so dispense with Zoneminder altogether.edoc wrote:A couple of observations:

Anyone here familiar with Netviewer?
Is is a MS-based app to allow remote access to a DVR with multiple security cameras.
It would be used with something like this:
http://www.zmododirect.com/zmodo-4ch-c ... te-2-5-12/
Or this ...

I'm looking for a Linux replacement for the app.

No. I'm really just getting into this stuff (linux & security systems) but just wondering if anyone has heard of running audio in addition to cameras.edoc wrote:Anyone here familiar with Netviewer?
My plan is to have Zoneminder running at least 4 cameras on the pussy-linux OS. CCTV cameras for motion detection.
But I'd like to find a way to listen in remotely as well. I know ZM doesn't have audio currently and I believe there's extra legal complications in some areas of the world, but the building I'm trying to protect already had a audio surveillance system. It also has door contacts.
So I'm wondering if anyone has any info on combining some or all of these things to just one running computer.
