Does anyone know if Watch Dog puppy is still going...

if anybody know if any Puplets in the list or second table are active or not that'd be useful

Hi
I have been messing around with a personal project based on: wary-511-k2.6.32.28
it has the following packages installed:
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

darkcity,
Watchdog puppy 2 appears to still be available for download at this url:
http://www.doubleburgerbar.com/watchdog/
Version 2, uploaded in December 2008, is apparently based on a Debian package build of puppy that the url below indicates hushpuppy was working on in June, 2008:

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

Hello aarf
Sorry for the delay in responding
I'm not sure if it was safe or not to delete the /usr/local/mysql/mysql-test/suite directory,
could anyone say for sure
Anyways, for those that want to have a play with it,
you can grab a copy from here:
you may want to edit the timezone that is set in: /usr/local/php/lib/php.ini
@ line 998
it is currently set to: Europe/London

Well i deleted quite a bit.aarf wrote:Would be interested in seeing your iso. Dont know how you got it so small
- I deleted: /root/.cpan (this bugger was about 117 MB)
and a load of crap from mysql. (this bugger was about 312 MB)
/usr/local/mysql/docs (11 MB)
/usr/local/mysql/mysql-test/suite (93 MB)
I then stripped the bin & lib files (saving around 63 MB by doing that)
So, the mysql directory alone ended up at around 145 MB (ish)
Total saving of around 284 MB just by deleting that lot.

Hello aarf
In that screenshot i posted above,
you can see on the two windows with the pics of me in them, various buttons (pause etc and a progress bar),
well they do not appear to work.
I don't know if it is down to something i have done (or not done),
or if it is simply a fault of Zoneminder itself.
Let me know how you get on with it.
CatDude
P.S
I see you figured out the Username/Password for the download,
i forgot to add it (now rectified)

No problem mate, i just hope it works for you (and anyone else who tries it)aarf wrote:thanks CatDude downloading now.

Hello aarf
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,
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
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

"Once you have the driver installed, "
hmm yes i had also figured i would need to do some driver searching and reading to get it going. it was a too daunting task then and as i am having a slack attack now too, with my brain refusing to think, this will be done sometime later.
Thanks a lot, CatDude
Wary Watcher works fine for me.
It took a long time for me to realise
With my Eee, no extra driver was needed. I changed only Source:

Yeah, it's best to get into the habit of restarting it anyway (after making any changes )rhadon wrote:It took a long time for me to realiseThis I've always overlooked before . For me, it was neccessary.it may be necessary to restart ZoneMinder (via the console window)

I downloaded Watchdog, then realized that it was only for USB cameras.
I recently acquired an IP camera ($49. USD) that connects to the RJ-45 port. It is generic, no manufacturer or model number, and came with a MS windows-only mini-CD.
I have loaded WaryWatcher on my Samsung Netbook NB30
It loads OK but cannot "see" an IP Camera that wants ActiveX.
So far I have not located a Linux app that has a functional work-around that is also available in Puppy.
Note: The site that sold these $49. IP cameras never mentioned that they were dependent on a proprietary MS app. Sigh.

For example, how would one even make a hardware query of the camera to try and figure out what it really is - since everything with it is highly generic - no useful markings or identifications anywhere on it or in the manual.
I read that one can run a sniffer like Wireshark to detect incoming network activity from the camera - is anything like that available for Puppy?
It may be a Foscam F18910 (wired, not wireless) PTZ.

This looks interesting but I cannot tell if it would be safe to flash without risk of bricking it!
