For use of old webcams edit /usr/bin/zmdc.pl
insert the following lines jsut 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';
Modify the time stamp with the following format: %N - %Y-%m-%d %I:%M:%S%P %Z
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
