Zoneminder

I have no experience with this, but I imagine that you would could use the website plugin to help. You would probably define the web files as a share and then point the website plugin to them. Port redirection would get you to the web files (http://ip:1234). The Opencloud forum might provide enough clues for you.

This piqued my interest (I have an old IP camera) so I had a go.

Steps to install
1) Login and get root
2) apt-get install zoneminder
3) cd /etc/apache2/sites-available
4) cat > zoneminder (and cut/paste the following)

<VirtualHost *:8282>
UseCanonicalName Off
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php index.cgi index.pl
ServerSignature Off
DocumentRoot /usr/share/zoneminder
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/zoneminder-vhost_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/zoneminder-vhost_access.log combined
Alias /zm /usr/share/zoneminder
<Directory /usr/share/zoneminder>
php_flag register_globals off
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php
</IfModule>
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

5) Append the following line to /etc/apache2/ports.conf

Listen 8282

6) cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
7) ln -s ../sites-available/zoneminder zoneminder
service apache2 restart

Then open http://your_OMV_ip:8282

Behold, Zoneminder

However - I have found a problem.
Debian Squeeze (on which OMV is based) uses an OLD copy of libjs-mootools
This renders the "add monitor" window useless.

I have NOT attempted to upgrade mootools at this point. Someone else can try that

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=643300

WOW, i have a windows system setup as my ip camera server and use blueiris, it works and i have no complaints (other than it's windows a resource hog, system is a 3ghz dual core,4gigs ram records 4 cameras none stop), but if this ever takes off and someone gets this working i will definitely be checking it out.

Very interesting....

Another problem I found...

Barring the fact Zoneminder installs "everything" (check the apt-get dependency list), when I removed it, I started getting CRON errors for some reason.
To solve those, I apparently screwed up the apache2/pam-auth mod.

The fix (if you find you can't login the webgui after removing zoneminder and trying to cure log errors) is here :

Hi....

I have installed zoneminder. Now I see the problems with the web gui. I can not change the setings.

I see ptruman find the reason for it. Have someone try to change the fault ?
In ubuntu runs zoneminder 1.25 without any problems. Is there a chance to do it in omv too ?
I need zoneminder for my ip cams. Also zfs file system will be a nice way to include in omv.
To build a raid system with it.

Greetings

drnorton.

Having the same problems with the settings as drnorton and ptruman above: you can click on the Settings tab, but nothing happens (the main page of zoneminder does load, but see JS errors below). I've tried downloading mootools 1.4.0 as per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=643300#25. Also tried with mootools 1.2.5:

wget http://mootools.net/download/get/mootools-core-1.2.5-core-nc.js
mv mootools-core-1.2.5-full-nocompat.js /usr/share/javascript/mootools/mootools-core-nc.js

but no luck.

The browser's JS console does show upon loading the main zoneminder page this set of errors:

GET http://192.168.0.217/javascript/mootools/mootools.js 404 (Not Found) 192.168.0.217:10
GET http://192.168.0.217/javascript/mootools/mootools-more.js 404 (Not Found) 192.168.0.217:10
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Window] has no method 'addEvent' console.js:65

The files themselves *are* present in /usr/share/zoneminder/javascript/mootools, but it appears the server doesn't send them to the browser. So I'm guessing there's either a permissions problem, or a config problem of Apache that it can't find mootools. I have no clue on how to address apache problems though. I've made sure the video user is in the www-data group (was suggested in the bug report linked at the start of this post):

usermod -a -G video www-data

But this did not help. I've also given everyone read rights to the mootools directory:

chmod -R a+r /usr/share/javascript/mootools

again to no avail.

I'm guessing there should somewhere be some rule instructing apache that it can get files from /usr/share/javascript.

(I have this stuff on a virtual machine so I can mess around with it at will, it's just that I have no clue what to do.)

Update (if I try Edit on my previous post, the forum system decides it's spam, hence new message): I've changed /etc/apache2/modes-enabled/alias.conf to include this:

Alias /javascript/mootools "/usr/share/javascript/mootools/"
<Directory "/usr/share/javascript/mootools">
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Directory>

(based on this: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_alias.html)
This got rid of the 404 errors, but he JS console still has errors when loading the main ZoneMinder page:

Uncaught ReferenceError: MooTools is not defined mootools-more.js:25
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Window] has no method 'addEvent'

Hurrah! After reverting to the original mootools coming from the debian repositories (so forget what the bug report on debian.org is saying), this did the trick. The Source tab is accessible.

I assume the only change necessary is the Alias thing, everything else is probably not needed. Possibly also the chmod -R.

Unfortunately, after configuring my IP camera and trying to view it, it doesn't load the video stream. The JS console comes up with regular new mootools-related 404 errors looking like this:

GET http://192.168.0.217/cgi-bin/nph-zms?mode=single&monitor=1&scale=100&connkey=13727&rand=1355867774&1355867857016 404 (Not Found) mootools.js:1769
GET http://192.168.0.217/cgi-bin/nph-zms?mode=single&monitor=1&scale=100&connkey=13727&rand=1355867774&1355867862016 404 (Not Found)

Tried following the instructions from http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki…in_the_Zone_window_etc.3F and modifying /etc/apache2/httpd.conf to include:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/"

but now it just fails without any HTTP error code. Excellent.

(This spam detection function of the forum is really nowhere near accurate.)

Turns out from "tail /tmp/zmwatch.log" that it can't get shared memory (no such file or directory). Fortunately other people have encountered this too:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1775337
zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Debian_Squeeze#Inadequate_Memory_Allocation

The solution with setting shmall and shmmax does not lead to a working setup and the log file still shows it can't get shared memory.

i know this is a while ago but did you get it fixed so it displayed the stream ?
i can get it running using a vm but its version 1.25

I gave up and purchased a proper DVR and cameras and will retire the web based cam
