It looks like /dev/shm gets filled up to 100% within just a minute, maybe that's the reason? Any way to reduce usage?

Code: Select all

tmpfs           464M  464M     0 100% /dev/shm

halve the resolution till it works. try 1740x1080 then 870x540

I was wrong. Ffmpeg does work on a Pi. I used these instructions: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Debian_9_64-bit_with_Zoneminder_1.30.4_the_Easy_Way#Raspberry_Pi_3B_Zoneminder_1.30.4 Actually ended up with ZM 1.30.0. Make sure you are using the right resolution in Zoneminder. Some cameras do not output...

If I remember from my testing the Pi ffmpeg does not work. Try remote.

If you can get the camera to stream in VLC use those settings in Zoneminder ffmpeg. Use VLC (Tools, Media Information, Codec) to check camera Display Resolution to use in Zoneminder.

Hi. The only thing I can find for php edits is the timezone. Am I missing something else for the php 7.2 updates? thanks, Geoff Should be it. But you may want to check to see if the prior version of PHP is still there If it is remove it. Then if you are still having issues run a force install of Zo...

While I have not done an OS upgrade with ZM 1.32.x the issue is likely the same as with 1.30.x going from 16.04 to 18.04. 18.04 uses PHP 7,2 so you may need to make the necessary changes to /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini.

Switch browser to Firefox. IE is old outdated and a security risk.

Are you using a capture card or USB cameras? If a capture card and it is old the newer versions of Linux may not support the card. If USB try PAL B and set the resolution down to 640x480 with a frame rate of 5 FPS. Also check the tmpfs (/dev/shm) for free space. No free space no video...

Can not view your file. Things to check: Free memory in tmpfs (/dev/shm) lower camera resolution or add more RAM Run mysqltuner and make recommended changes Lower frame rate and resolution. If IP cameras do this at the camera. See the instructions at https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Server_18.04_6...

I am running Zoneminder 1.30.4 on Debian 9.8 stable 64-bit GNOME and am getting several errors. I don't always get these errors, but often enough that zoneminder works ony half of the time. I attached images to the post.

How are your cameras configured?

Dear All, I installed zoneminder to my old IBM laptop with Debian on it. I had a lot of difficulty to add my IP camera to the system but finally I managed it. And after I thought I was okay I couldn't fined any recordings, no events, nothing. I can see the live camera footage with some time delay b...

Hi there, i made a fresh install of zoneminder to a raspi 3 according to the wiki. The only difference is,that i used the zoneminder package that comes with apt-get install zoneminder. :!: A minor differnce is that i am using a mariadb10 on another host and not locally. None of the monitors work. A...

See: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Server_19.04_Zoneminder_1.32.3 Zoneminder 1.32.3 is in the Ubuntu 19.04 (Beta) repository so the PPA is not used. I also use Mariadb as I had password length issues with MySQL. This is a preliminary install procedure and may change with the official 19.04 rele...

In the past when the disk got too full the system would hang. I had to manually delete a bunch of events to get it working again. I've also found that 95% to start the purge is too much. 85% for a single drive system gives a bit of a cushion to let the system work.
