Add SAA7134/SAA7135HL module.

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 saa7134
options saa7134 card=33,33,33,33

 

If above doesn’t work, you can try one of them:

options saa7134 card=60,60,60,60
or - options saa7134 card=60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60
or - options saa7134 card=2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2
or - options saa7134 card=33,33,33,33,33,33,33,33
or - options saa7134 card=97,97,97,97
or - options saa7134 card=73,73,73,73

Install Zoneminder.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install zoneminder

 

If above will fail, use this command to fix/install zoneminder’s dependencies.

sudo apt-get install -f

 

Install some needed dependencies.

sudo apt-get install libfaad-dev faad libmp4v2-2 libmp3lame-dev libogg-dev libtheora-dev libvorbis-dev libx264-dev libxvidcore-dev x264 libav-tools ffmpeg openssl

 

Increase shared memory – Kernel Memory.

Last line in configfile must be empty. Example:

sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf
kernel.shmall = 1048576
kernel.shmmax = 6442450944

 

sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf

 

Increase shared memory – Kernel Memory – ( 128MB ) – SHMMAX i SHMALL.

sudo nano /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
134217728

 

Install Jpegturbo.

sudo wget --trust-server-names http://sourceforge.net/projects/libjpeg-turbo/files/1.3.0/libjpeg-turbo-official_1.3.0_amd64.deb/download

Configure Apache2.


Simple configuration:


sudo ln -s /etc/zm/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/zoneminder.conf
sudo adduser www-data video
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart


 


Access to ZoneMinder:


http://localhost/zm


http://IP_address/zm


http://domain.com/zm


 


Advance configuration:


Configuratin: ssl + virtualhost + subdomain. Subdomain: zm.domain.com Change zm.domain.com to your own subdomain name.


sudo mkdir -p /etc/apache2/ssl/zm.domain.com/
cd /etc/apache2/ssl/zm.domain.com/


 


Generate a Private Key.


sudo openssl genrsa -des3 -out zm.domain.com.key 2048



Generating RSA private key, 2048 bit long modulus
..+++
.............................................................+++
e is 65537 (0x10001)
Enter pass phrase for domain.com.key:
Verifying - Enter pass phrase for zm.domain.com.key:


 


Generate a CSR (Certificate Signing Request).


sudo openssl req -new -key zm.domain.com.key -out zm.domain.com.csr


Enter pass phrase for zm.domain.com.key:


You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.

Please enter the following 'extra' attributes
to be sent with your certificate request
A challenge password []:
An optional company name []:


 


Remove Passphrase from Key.


sudo cp zm.domain.com.key zm.domain.com.key.org
sudo openssl rsa -in zm.domain.com.key.org -out zm.domain.com.key


Enter pass phrase for zm.domain.com.key.org:
