OK, I'm sure that other people don't care very much about all of this information, however I like to use this page to document my systems and add things here that I want to remember. It works nice as a place to keep all of this information.

Using old Webcams
For use of old webcams edit /usr/bin/zmdc.pl
Insert the following lines just before the "my @daemons = (" line
$ENV{LD_PRELOAD} = '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so';
$ENV{LD_PRELOAD} = '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l2convert.so';
Time stamps
For AM/PM style time modify the time stamp with the following format: %N - %Y-%m-%d %I:%M:%S%P %Z
External Triggers
In order to use external triggers with ZM you must set:
OPT_TRIGGERS Interface external event triggers via socket or device files (?)
Then trigger via:
echo "5|on+15|255|Side Door Motion" >/dev/tcp/localhost/6802
