Zm-py

A loose python wrapper around the ZoneMinder API. As time goes on additional functionality will be added to this API client.

zm-py is based on code that was originally part of Home Assistant. Historical sources and authorship information is available as part of the Home Assistant project:

• ZoneMinder Platform
• ZoneMinder Camera
• ZoneMinder Sensor
• ZoneMinder Switch

Installation

PyPI

$ pip install zm-py

Usage

from zoneminder.zm import ZoneMinder

SERVER_HOST = "{{host}}:{{port}}"
USER = "{{user}}"
PASS = "{{pass}}"
SERVER_PATH = "{{path}}"

zm_client = ZoneMinder(
    server_host=SERVER_HOST, server_path=SERVER_PATH, username=USER, password=PASS, verify_ssl=False
)

#Zoneminder authentication
zm_client.login()


#Get all monitors
monitors = zm_client.get_monitors()

for monitor in monitors:
    print(monitor)

>>> Monitor(id='monitor_id', name='monitor_name', controllable='is_controllable')


#Move camera down
controllable_monitors = [m for m in monitors if m.controllable]

for monitor in controllable_monitors:
    zm_client.move_monitor(monitor, "right")
