l Install the zoneminder & required packages.
apt-get install make
apt-get install apache2
apt-get install php5
l For testing the
apache server open the web browser & type.
l After this you must see the apach-default page on the
web browser else check you installation again
l For testing php you have to create a file (test.php)
& write some php code in that file and try to execute with the help of web
browser.
Example :
vi /etc/www/
test.php
<?
phpinfo(); ?>
save
& exit.
l For testing php file on the local system type
l You'll find the information about php.
l Install some
more packages that required to run the zoneminder properly.
apt-get install php5-mysql
apt-get install
libapache2-mod-auth-mysql
apt-get install mysql-server
apt-get install g++
apt-get install libdate-manip-perl
apt-get install
libmysqlclient12-dev
apt-get install
libjpeg-mmx-dev
apt-get install
liblwp-protocol-http-socketunix-perl
l If you are unable to install zoneminder with the help
of apt-install than download the zoneminder zip file form the web on any local
system and copy that gz file on the target system.
l And than unzip that file.
tar -xvzf
ZoneMinder-1.22.2.tar.gz
l And for configure the zm run this command
./configure
--with-webdir=/var/www/zm --with-cgidir=/usr/lib/cgi-bin
--with-webuser=www-data –with-webgroup=www-data
Note : If u find error message like
configure: error: zm requires
openssl/md5.h
l Than you need some extra package to install libssl-dev
than zoneminder is completely configured :)
l For creating the database in mysql for zoneminder you
have to run this command
#> mysql mysql <
db/zm_create.sql -p
l when you run this command it'll creat the default zoneminder
database. when it's completely created than you have to grant some permission
on that database for specific user's.
l For this open mysql for this type.
mysql -p
l It's ask for your mysql password. Enter the password
and type this command for grant the permission to zmuser.
Grant select,insert,update,delete on
zm.* to
'zmuser'@localhost identified by
'zmpass';
(It's
a compelete command)
l And type exit or quit to close mysql.
l After this restart the mysqlamin to refresh the
database schema for restart type
#> mysqladmin
reload -p
l After this type make install to install the zoneminder
make install
l After this you have to make the zm script file for
that you have to past this script code in
vi /etc/init.d/zm
l Hare is a script

l After past the script
you have make that file executable with the help of
#>
chmod +x /etc/init.d/zm
l After this start the zoneminder.
#>
/etc/init.d/zm start
l You have to increase the kernel memory for this open
sysctl.conf
#>vi
/etc/sysctl.conf
l And this line kernel.shmmax = 134217728
l In apache you have to redirect the client request to
the zoneminder file for this open
vi
/etc/apache2/sites-available/default
Find RedirectMatch
RedirectMatch
^/$ /apache2-default/
replace
RedirectMatch
^/$ /zm/
Save & Exit
l You have to set the cookies.
Type vi /var/www/zm/zm.php
Find
setcookie & add this line
setcookie
(“cookies”,$cookies);
If
it's already added than there is no need to replace.
l Restart the apache2
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
l Restart Zoneminder
/etc/init.d/zm restart
l It's batter to set the static ip address for ur
zoneminder machine
vi
/etc/networking/interfaces
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.11
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
Save
& Exit
Restart the networking or it's
batter to restart ur system :)
Setting up ZoneMinder
l Use a other pc to preform the following steps or use the localhost.
l For zoneminder configuration you have to change some options for this
Click Option and change
Network
- Check ZM_OPT_REMOTE_CAMERAS
Video
- Select jpeg for ZM_VIDEO_STREAM_METHOD
l After this you have to add the new monitor to monitor the different cam.
You have to create seprate monitors for every cam.
Press
add monitor
General - Enter monitor name
Source
Type - Remote / Local / File
l If you are using IP cam than every cam have it's own IP address you can
also set that IP address.
Function
- Monitor / Modect / etc
IP
Source : (Remote Host Name/ IP = 192.168.1.250)
Port # : (Remote Host Port)
Remote
Host Path : /video.cgi or image.jpg
Note :- Every ip cam have a
different path for it's video / images you must
know about you cam IP,Port No, .cgi file path, .jpg file path.
l Enter 640/480 for the Capture Width and Height
Now check the monitor im sure it's working :)
