Not that i am aware of, but...darkcity wrote:...is there any other Puppy that does a similar job?
I did try with zm1.24.4, xampp, latest perl, and 525. After days of effort got a long way through but not actually working. Would be interested in seeing your iso. Dont know how you got it so smallCatDude wrote:Hi

I have been messing around with a personal project based on: wary-511-k2.6.32.28
it has the following packages installed:I suppose you could call it a more up to date Watchdog (i refer to it as Wary Watcher
- httpd-2.2.19 (Apache)
mysql-5.5.13
php-5.3.6
phpMyAdmin-3.4.3.1-all-languages
ZoneMinder-1.24.4),
it is by no means perfect (read: Bug Free) but it does work (with my camera at least)
There are no extra drivers installed. (sorry)
If anyone is interested i could upload a copy so they could try it,
though i do not intend to "Maintain it" as such.
The ISO is roughly around 190 MB

You need to load the driver for your camera, then configure it in the Source window.aarf wrote:...can change from stopped to started in the zm interface but no camera or images. probably have to go back and read the instruction again.
Code: Select all
zmu -d /dev/video -V 1 -q -v

Once you have the driver installed,
you can run the following command to get some details about your camera which will help configure it:It takes a bit of trial & error with regard to the Capture Width/Capture Height values,Code: Select all
zmu -d /dev/video -V 1 -q -v
also the Capture Method depends on your camera,
i have one here that will only work with Video For Linux version 1 (USB Pace VC6452V002 ZoomCam)
and another one (built-in on Acer Laptop) SuYin 1.3M HD Webcam that will only work with Video For Linux version 2
Drivers for both the above cameras are already installed,
- NOTE:
After making any changes to the config of the camera (and saving them),
it may be necessary to restart ZoneMinder (via the console window)
the Pace VC6452V002 ZoomCam required that i modprobed cpia_usb
and the SuYin 1.3M HD Webcam required that i modprobed uvcvideo
If you take a look in: /lib/modules/2.6.32.28/kernel/drivers/media/video
you will see that there are quite a few drivers pre-installed (ie: those already in Wary)
As i said, i did not add any drivers myself.
Hope this helps

Wary Watcher works fine for me.
Yeah, it's best to get into the habit of restarting it anyway (after making any changesrhadon wrote:It took a long time for me to realiseThis I've always overlooked beforeit may be necessary to restart ZoneMinder (via the console window). For me, it was neccessary.
I sure could use "smarter eyes" on this as I don't even know where to begin.CatDude wrote:Hello edoc
