NAME

zmcontrol.pl - ZoneMinder control script

SYNOPSIS

 zmcontrol.pl --id {monitor_id} [--command={command}] [various options]
 zmcontrol.pl --protocol {module} --address {addr} [--device {dev}] --command {cmd}

DESCRIPTION

ZoneMinder camera control script. Operates in two modes:

Monitor mode (--id): Connects to the control daemon for the given monitor, or starts the daemon if run without --command. Requires a running ZoneMinder instance with database access.

Direct protocol mode (--protocol): Loads a ZoneMinder::Control module directly and executes a single command without requiring database access or a running ZoneMinder instance. Useful for testing control modules.

 --protocol [ name ] - Control module name, e.g. ONVIF (direct mode)
 --address [ addr ]  - ControlAddress, e.g. user:pass@host:port (direct mode)
 --device [ dev ]    - ControlDevice / profile token (direct mode)
 --command [ cmd ]   - Command to execute (e.g. moveConUp, get_config)
 --autostop          -
