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+
