| If you are not experienced with Linux and would like a quick way to get Zoneminder running for you, consider Zoneminder on a stick, a per-configured Lubuntu 14.04 with Zoneminder 1.29.0. See: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Lubuntu_14.04_with_Zoneminder_1.29.0_pre-configured_CD_or_USB
| | Place holder for 18.04 |
| | |
| Zoneminder 1.25.0 on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit
| |
| | |
| This installation uses Zoneminder from the Ubuntu sources. Zoneminder in Ubuntu since the 11.10 version is compiled with the mmap option. I am running an Optiplex 755 with a dual core processor, 6 GIG RAM and 160 GIG hard drive. I have 11 Linksys IP cameras and a Vivotek IP camera with Modect operational. I have run this install and have set up the 12 cameras in about an hour!
| |
| | |
| Note: While not tested this should work for 32 BIT as well
| |
| | |
| Note2: These instructions work on Ubuntu Server 12.10 32-bit under VirtualBox 4.1.22 (host: Windows 7 Pro SP1), with 512MB RAM 8 GB HD. Tested with one IP camera (IP-400 camera from DealExtreme). (28-Oct-2012/ktt)
| |
| | |
| Note3: This setup also works with Ubuntu desktop. You will have to install tasksel to install all the LAMP packages. One advantage of this is that you can install Teamviewer or another remote control package to access your Zoneminder without dynamic DNS or port forwarding. This is useful if your installation is behind multiple firewalls/routers.
| |
| | |
| Install Ubuntu
| |
| | |
| There are plenty of sources for instructions on how to install Ubuntu.
| |
| | |
| Install Basic Server (if you used the mini.iso), OpenSSH Server, and LAMP Server.
| |
| | |
| Reboot server.
| |
| | |
| Log in then become root:
| |
| | |
| sudo su
| |
| | |
| apt-get update
| |
| apt-get upgrade
| |
| apt-get dist-upgrade
| |
| | |
| | |
| Optional: Set static IP address
| |
| | |
| nano /etc/network/interfaces
| |
| | |
| Make changes similar to this:
| |
| | |
| auto eth0
| |
| 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 68.87.75.194
| |
| | |
| Note: for Ubuntu 12.04 the resolv.conf is dynamically assigned.
| |
| The "dns-servers" entry in the interfaces file will set the DNS
| |
| Multiple DNS server entries can be used.

| |
| | |
| From this point on I used Putty from another PC to configure the server.
| |
| | |
| Install Zoneminder
| |
| | |
| Log in then become root
| |
| sudo su
| |
| | |
| apt-get install zoneminder
| |
| | |
| Note: You will be prompted to configure Nullmailer during the Zoneminder install. You can leave the program un-configured if you do not plan to have the server email alerts. Or search for instructions to configure Nullmailer.
| |
| | |
| Add the H.264 packages if wanted.
| |
| | |
| apt-get install x264
| |
| | |
| Add delay to allow MySQL to start before Zoneminder
| |
| | |
| nano /etc/init.d/zoneminder
| |
| | |
| Add above "zmfix -a" sleep 15
| |
| | |
| Ctrl+o Enter to save
| |
| | |
| CTRL+x to exit
| |
| | |
| Link Apache to Zoneminder
| |
| | |
| | |
| ln -s /etc/zm/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/zoneminder.conf
| |
| | |
| /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload
| |
| | |
| adduser www-data video
| |
| | |
| Optional Install Cambozola
| |
| | |
| cd /usr/src && wget http://www.andywilcock.com/code/cambozola/cambozola-latest.tar.gz
| |
| | |
| tar -xzvf cambozola-latest.tar.gz
| |
| | |
| replace "935" with cambozola version downloaded
| |
| | |
| cp cambozola-0.935/dist/cambozola.jar /usr/share/zoneminder
| |
| | |
| Optional Add SSL to Apache2
| |
| | |
| Create a self-signed certificate:
| |
| | |
| make-ssl-cert generate-default-snakeoil --force-overwrite
| |
| | |
| Activate Apache SSL module:
| |
| | |
| a2enmod ssl
| |
| | |
| Activate Apache default ssl virtual host:
| |
| | |
| a2ensite default-ssl
| |
| | |
| Restart Apache:
| |
| | |
| service apache2 restart
| |
| | |
| | |
| You should now be able to access the web server using https://serverip
| |
| | |
| NTP Daily Sync
| |
| | |
| nano /etc/cron.daily/ntpdate
| |
| | |
| Copy the following two lines into nano
| |
| | |
| #!/bin/sh
| |

| |
| | |
| Note: replace ntp.ubuntu.com with the time server(s) of your choice. I use time-a.nist.gov time-b.nist.gov
| |
| | |
| Ctrl+o Enter to save
| |
| | |
| CTRL+x to exit
| |
| | |
| chmod 755 /etc/cron.daily/ntpdate
| |
| | |
