What

pyzmNg is a rewrite of pyzm.

It's a pythonic wrapper that integrates with ZM and also operates as a standalone ML library. Key features:

  • ZM API
  • ZM EventServerNg
  • ZM Logger
  • ZM Memory
  • Machine Learning Modules (with our without ZM)

Installation

See the installation guide on ReadTheDocs.

Documentation & Examples

Latest documentation is available here. The documentation includes a full example.

Features

  • API auth using tokens or legacy (manages refresh logins automatically)
  • Monitors
  • Events with filters
  • States
  • Configs
  • EventNotification callbacks
  • Mapped Memory access
  • Direct access to ML algorithms
  • Remote ML detection server (pyzm.serve) — run models on a GPU box, detect from anywhere
  • Amazon Rekognition support for object detection

Training UI

pyzm includes a Streamlit-based UI for fine-tuning YOLO models on your own data:

/opt/zoneminder/venv/bin/python -m streamlit run pyzm/train/app.py -- --base-path /var/lib/zmeventnotification/models

The --base-path flag points to your ZoneMinder models directory (defaults to /var/lib/zmeventnotification/models). Projects are stored in ~/.pyzm/training/.

Testing

pyzm has three test tiers:

Unit / integration tests (no hardware required):

pip install pytest
python -m pytest tests/ -m "not e2e and not zm_e2e" -v

ML end-to-end tests (require real ML models on disk):

# Requires models in /var/lib/zmeventnotification/models/
# and the test image at tests/test_ml_e2e/bird.jpg (included in repo)
python -m pytest tests/test_ml_e2e/ -v

# Skip the slower remote-serve tests:
python -m pytest tests/test_ml_e2e/ -v -m "not serve"

ZoneMinder end-to-end tests (require a live ZM server):

One-time setup:

sudo /opt/zoneminder/venv/bin/pip install pytest
cp tests/.env.zm_e2e.sample .env.zm_e2e   # edit with your ZM server details
# Readonly tests (auth, monitors, events, zones, frames, detection):
sudo -u www-data /opt/zoneminder/venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/test_zm_e2e/ -v -p no:cacheprovider

# Include write tests (event notes, stop/start/restart, DB tagging):
sudo -u www-data ZM_E2E_WRITE=1 /opt/zoneminder/venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/test_zm_e2e/ -v -p no:cacheprovider

ZM E2E tests auto-skip when .env.zm_e2e is missing, so pytest tests/ is always safe.

Developer Notes (for myself)

To make a release:

./scripts/make_release.sh

To skip PyPI upload (e.g. package already published):

./scripts/make_release.sh --skip-pypi

To test docs:

cd docs/
make html && python -m http.server -d _build/html

To test a CHANGELOG:

# __version__ in pyzm/__init__.py should be updated
# replace v2.0.3 with whatever future version
GITHUB_TOKEN=$(gh auth token) git-cliff --tag "v2.0.3"

Limitations

  • Requires Python 3.10+

Security for pyzm 2.5.3

Provenance

Provenance describes where a file came from. On PyPI, provenance is shared via attestations, which provide a verifiable record of the build or publishing details. View details, limitations and caveats.
