Zoneminder already provide alarm notification by email, but you can’t send the image in it’s email notification (yes, you can see tags below). Instead, you can use custom script to send notification via messaging such as telegram
1. create new filter, put this in its fields:
– Alarm Frames >= 10
– (and) Start Date/Time >= -1 hour
– (and) Monitor Id = 1
– Message details of all matches: checked (you need to set OPT_MESSAGE in email options) otherwise you’ll only get notification after an event finished, not immediately
– Execute command on all matches:
/home/zmuser/logalarm.sh "%EI%" "%EN%" "%ET%" "%EL%" "%EFA%" "%EST%" "%ESA%" "%EP%" "%EFMOD%" "%EPI%" "%EPI1%" "%MN%" "%MP%"
– Run filter in background: checked
* For other tags you can use see below
2. create file logalarm.sh (this script only do logging, you can change this script to do notification via telegram using telegram-cli https://github.com/vysheng/tg):
#!/bin/sh
LOGF=/home/zmuser/alarm.log
echo "--- $(date '+%F %T')" >> ${LOGF}
echo "$1" >> ${LOGF}
echo "$2" >> ${LOGF}
echo "$3" >> ${LOGF}
echo "$4" >> ${LOGF}
echo "$5" >> ${LOGF}
echo "$6" >> ${LOGF}
echo "$7" >> ${LOGF}
echo "$8" >> ${LOGF}
echo "$9" >> ${LOGF}
echo "$10" >> ${LOGF}
echo "$11" >> ${LOGF}
echo "$12" >> ${LOGF}
echo "$13" >> ${LOGF}
echo "$14" >> ${LOGF}
echo "LOGGED OK"
exit 0
3. create alarm.log and make sure it’s accessible:
touch /home/zmuser/alarm.log
chmod 666 /home/zmuser/alarm.log
