Files:
zm_alm_136.php: encode engine uses ffmpeg. Can run script from command line directly.
Other files required for HTML front end
index.php: Use this as index
zm_movie_functions.php: miscellaneous functions called by scripts
zm_movie_header.html: html header information
zm_movie_make.php: setup movie parameters
Installation:
Put all files in a subfolder to /var/www/html
e.g. /var/www/html/zm136/
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/zm136/ (or web user)
chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/zm136/
Point your browser to http://host:port/zm136/index.php and enjoy
Note: the script will create 2 subfolders zm136/zm_movie for storing movies and zm136/zm_tmp for temporary files.
Important:
Ensure the storage area is set to either default or other. If blank, go to camera settings and set to default.
And
Ensure permision of the "/etc/zm/zm.conf" file is readable by www-data (or apache).
Issues:
Some camera feeds (RLC-410 with audio for example) don't seem to play well with FFMPEG. The video will be created but the duration may not match requested.
TODO:
- Add date/time picker
- Fix FFMPEG issues
