Raspbian is a distribution for the Raspberry Pi that has some customizations which benefit it over traditional GNU/Linux ARM releases. The FFMPEG binary and libraries are compiled with hardware acceleration, and this can be used in situations where you have an h264 camera in Zoneminder (RPI3, and ZM 1.32+ only). As the RPI is a moving target, and many variations abound, we will try to cover only each Major RPI iteration here.

=== '''How to install ZoneMinder on Raspberry PI 1 or 2 with Raspbian 8.1 (Jessy) 64 bit''' ===
 
 
A special Thanks to "Felixr" and "BBunge" from which I took the initial FAQ.
 
Prereq before starting:
* SD card created with raspbian Jessie 64bit
* filesystem is extended.
* the systems boots in console mode with autologin disabled (X is disabled)
 
Log in as pi
 
pi  (followed by your root password)
 
sudo to root
 
sudo su
 
Configure your network and Set static IP address
 
  nano /etc/network/interfaces
 
Make changes similar to this:
 
auto eth0
 
#allow-hotplug eth0 (make sure this is commented or you will get 2 ip's)
iface eth0 inet static
  address 192.168.1.10
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  gateway 192.168.1.1
  dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1
 
Update Raspbian Sources
 
apt-get update
 
Check to be sure everything is up to date for the raspbian distribution
 
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
 
Add the Debian Jessie backports
 
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
 
add to the top of the list:
 
deb http://http.debian.net/debian jessie-backports main
 
Ctrl+o Enter to save
CTRL+x to exit
 
add priority to this repository
 
nano /etc/apt/preferences.d/zoneminder
 
add to the file:
 
Package: *
Pin: origin http.debian.net
Pin-Priority: 1100
 
Ctrl+o Enter to save
CTRL+x to exit
 
Update Sources
 
apt-get update
 
you will get a GPG error message like this:
W: GPG error: http://http.debian.net jessie-backports InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 8B48AD6246925553    NO_PUBKEY 7638D0442B90D010
 
Fix this as following:
gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv-key  8B48AD6246925553
gpg -a --export 8B48AD6246925553 | sudo apt-key add -
gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv-key  7638D0442B90D010
gpg -a --export 7638D0442B90D010 | sudo apt-key add -
 
'''If you have a problem with the above see this'''
 
HKP, the HTTP keyserver protocol", is normally spoken on a different port (11371/TCP) than regular HTTP. It could be that you're behind a firewall which blocks all but the most common ports.
Many keyservers do accept HKP on the regular HTTP port, and some of them also work with HKPS (which just shares the HTTPS port). Therefore try one of the following keyservers:
''hkp://pgp.mit.edu:80
 
hkps://pgp.mit.edu
 
hkp://p80.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80
 
hkps://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net'''''
 
I had luck with the 2nd and 4th one in the list.
 
Update Sources again (now should go fine)
 
apt-get update
 
Package 'tar' (tar (1.29b-1~bpo8+1)) seems to be broken.
exclude tar from upgrade
aptitude hold tar
 
Check to be sure everything is up to date for the raspbian distribution
 
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
 
 
Install  PHP, and MySQL server (This installs MySQL server 5.5. If you want to use MySQL 5.6 follow the instructions [[Install MySQL 5.6 on Debian Jessie]] (using mariadb also works fine, as tested on Debian 8.2, replacement package for mysql-server is then mariadb-server)
 
apt-get install  php5 mysql-server php-pear php5-mysql
 
Install Zoneminder
 
apt-get install zoneminder
 
You may need to install "extra" VLC components (I will check this and edit as needed)
 
apt-get install libvlc-dev libvlccore-dev vlc
 
Create Zoneminder database in MySQL (Note: this also creates the default Zoneminder user and permissions in MySQL)
 
This next step creates a file which contained the MySQL user and password. Otherwise you will have to enter the user and password on the command line which is not secure!
 
Go to the root directory
cd ~
 
Create a hidden password file
 
nano .my.cnf
 
Enter this content (but use your MySQL root password!)
 
[client]
user=root
password=(mysqlpass)
 
Ctrl+o Enter to save
 
CTRL+x to exit
 
Create database (press ENTER after each command)
 
mysql < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql
 
mysql -e "grant select,insert,update,delete,create on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass';"
 
Remove password file
 
rm .my.cnf
 
Set permissions of /etc/zm/zm.conf to root:www-data 740
 
chmod 740 /etc/zm/zm.conf
chown root:www-data /etc/zm/zm.conf
 
create link for apache (paths can differ)
ln -s /etc/zm/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/zoneminder.conf
 
Enable Zoneminder service to start at boot
 
systemctl enable zoneminder.service
 
Add www-data to the sudo group (to enable use of local video devices)
 
adduser www-data video
 
Start Zoneminder
 
systemctl start zoneminder.service
 
Check to see that Zoneminder is running
 
systemctl status zoneminder.service
 
Enable CGI and Zoneminder configuration in Apache.
a2enmod cgi
a2enconf zoneminder
 
Restart Apache
 
service apache2 restart
 
*** You may be tempted to try Zoneminder at this point but there is one setting you will need to change from the web gui.  Read on!!!
 
Optional: Install Cambozola (needed if you use Internet Explorer)
 
cd /usr/src && wget http://www.andywilcock.com/code/cambozola/cambozola-latest.tar.gz
 
tar -xzvf cambozola-latest.tar.gz
 
replace 936 with cambozola version downloaded
 
cp cambozola-0.936/dist/cambozola.jar /usr/share/zoneminder
 
Kernel shared memory settings:
 
Set shared memory for 512MB RPi board:
1) 128MB shhmax shared:
  sudo su -
  echo "kernel.shmmax = 134217728" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
  exit
 
2) 2MB shmall pages:
sudo su -
echo "kernel.shmall = 2097152" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
exit
 
Set PHPs Default Timezone
sudo nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
 
ctrl+w to search, and type
date.timezone
 
Remove the initial ';' and enter your timezone from the list at http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
 
The line should look something like
date.timezone = Europe/London
ctrl + x
 
'y' to save and exit
 
Restart Apache
 
service apache2 restart
 
You should now be able to access the web server using http://servername
 
Open Zoneminder in web browser
 
http://serverip/zm
 
Click Options
 
Uncheck: Check with zoneminder.com for updated versions (?) click Save
 
Click Images tab
 
Check Is the (optional) cambozola java streaming client installed (?) Click Save
 
Click Paths
 
Change PATH_ZMS from /cgi-bin/nph-zms to /zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms      Click Save
 
Optional: under Paths change PATH_SWAP to /dev/shm (puts this process in RAM drive)  Click Save
 
Restart Zoneminder
 
Your Zoneminder install is now ready to add cameras!
