ZOG Zmbaq : ultimately buggy code at the moment. It's under re-writing process. It's under development and needs the goals of the project to be documented instead of being "spherical horse inbound into 4-dimensional cube".

It pretends to be soon an open source video surveillance system -- a server for incoming video streams, GUI client for PC and R.Pi, R.Pi h264 video streamer.

Database design in progress, not finished yet.

Internal implementation of the software may be denoted as the following scheme (it's not electrical scheme, just using that symbols for some processes like data copying, logic, some processing)

At the moment, there is only 1 working piece: a small utility "rtsp_dumper" that dumps RTSP/RTP(from .sdp file) H264 streams to filesystem, just to test existing implementation entities of the C++ code. Current work is focused on motion detection algorithms via OpenCV, GUI client is next.

Authors: Alexander Sorvilov(ideas,concept, financial aid), Bohdan Maslovskyi(development), Olexii Shevchenko(development).

Dependencies:

• libzip
• libasan
• libx264 (in system)

• = ffmpeg-3.0 (flags: --with-encoder=libx264 --enable-gpl)

• ZeroMQ 4.x
• CZMQ 3.x (depends on ZeroMQ4.x)
• OpenCV 3.x
• libboost_filesystem, libboost_asio >= 1.55
• Urho3D game engine for the GUI

Preconditions

Create a directory for the dependencies installation (let's name it "broot"). Install Git, CMake, CMake-GUI, MSVC (if needed)

	mkdir "C:\Users\Max\broot" #windows
	mkdir $HOME/broot #linux
    export BROOT=$HOME/broot # dependencies directory

submodules checkout

cd external/
git submodule init avcpp
git submodule update avcpp

FFMPEG

• For linux:

sudo apt-get install libx264-dev

wget http://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-snapshot-git.tar.bz2
tar xvf ffmpeg-snapshot-git.tar.bz2
cd ffmpeg
./configure --prefix=$HOME/broot --enable-gpl --enable-libx264 --enable-decoder=h264

• For MacOS

brew install ffmpeg

• For Windows: Download from http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ and deploy libraries into "broot"

ZeroMQ 4.x http://zeromq.org

https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq

• Linux

   # linux:
   git clone https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq.git
   ./autogen.sh
   ./configure --prefix=$HOME/broot
   make && make install

• MacOS

brew install zmq czmq

• Windows

   # get the build from http://zeromq.org/distro:microsoft-windows (latest 4.x branch)

CZMQ 3.x (depends on ZeroMQ)

CZMQ 3.x(more modern ZMQ C API): http://czmq.zeromq.org/page:get-the-software

http://download.zeromq.org/czmq-3.0.0-rc1.zip #for windows

CZMQ will probably look for ZMQ at /usr/local prefix.

Download and install BOOST libraries

For windows: install Boost libraries into "broot" directory. Linux/MacOS: install libboost_system >=1.55 libboost_thread >= 1.55 using your package management system or build it.

Install or compile OpenCV

http://opencv.org Should be deployed in "broot" directory, for example: "C:\Users\Max\broot"

• Windows:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/files/opencv-win/3.0.0-beta/ #deploy it into "broot" directory

+Linux

git clone https://github.com/Itseez/opencv.git
cd opencv
mkdir build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/broot
make -j2 && make install

• MacOS

brew tap homebrew/science
brew install opencv3

Download and build RethinkgDB C++ driver

git clone https://github.com/AtnNn/librethinkdbxx.git
cd librethinkdbxx
make
#install to our BROOT directory
cp -R build/include/* $BROOT/include
cp -R build/lib* $BROOT/lib

Compile the project:

cd zmbaq mkdir build && cd build cmake .. -DDEPENDS_ROOT=$HOME/broot
