Just plug the APEMAN C450 dash camera into your Linux server via USB and select “PC Camera” using the buttons on the side.<\/p>\n

Confirm it works with this command:
\nffmpeg -f video4linux2 -s 640x480 -i \/dev\/video0 -ss 0:0:2 -frames 1 \/tmp\/out.jpg<\/code><\/p>\n

Then download this docker-compose config file
\nhttps:\/\/github.com\/dlandon\/zoneminder\/blob\/master\/docker-compose.yaml<\/a><\/p>\n

Add the video device to the docker-compose.yaml file:
\ndevices:
\n- \/dev\/video0:\/dev\/video0<\/code><\/p>\n

Install\/start your docker container:
\ndocker-compose up -d<\/code><\/p>\n

Then visit the freshly installed system on whatever your IP address that you have configured:
\nhttps:\/\/192.168.0.25:8443\/zm\/<\/code><\/p>\n

To add the dash camera as a monitor :
\nGeneral Tab:
\n Source Type = Local<\/code>
\nSource Tab:
\n Source Path = \/dev\/video0
\n1280 x 720<\/code><\/p>\n

Note that, when I first set this up recording, I was getting a corrupt\/ green frame of video at the beginning of the recording.\u00a0 Whatever was causing this made it trigger an event constantly.\u00a0 To fix this, I went into the settings for \/dev\/video0, buffer tab and changed Alarm frame count from 1 to 3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
