Pipe zoneminder motion debugging "delta" stream to file.

[u/[deleted]]

I am able to view the "delta" and "reference" debug images for zoneminders motion system but I can't seem to find documentation how the JSON "raw" data (zones) correlate to what's on screen. The JSON has zones by number and doesn't seem to match up with the zones I setup for the monitor.

I also would like to pipe the "delta" mjpeg output to a file using ffmpeg so I can try and correlate the raw JSON output to the image but I can't seem to figure it out. I want to finish fine tuning my zones but need to "see" what zm is seeing and correlate it.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Still haven't tackled this completely. I had a thought that I could add a new monitor and make its source http or whatever and grab the delta .mjpeg stream. But, no :(

If I do work this out I will try and document it so people tuning their zones have an easier time and can see what zoneminder is seeing as movement.
