Ubuntu Groovy 20.10 scheduled to be released 22OCT20

One limitation is free space in /dev/shm. If it is full then you are at your limit. Unless you add more RAM or reduce the resolution in the other cameras. There are other factors but the /dev/shm free space is likely it. I have found that the newer Zoneminder is very easy on shared memory especially...

It's a Pi not a PC or server. My experience with a Pi is to use a Buster install sans desktop. Installing Ubuntu 18.04 0r 20.04 (32 or 64 bit) also works but I remove the cloud junk and just use a basic system. If I can I will also remove the server components and just run a LAMP or LEMP (using Mari...

You did not give any details of your Zoneminder server. So assuming it is a normal setup with Apache running on port 80 you should be OK of you port forward port 80 on your router to the Zoneminder server (will not discuss the port forwarding requirements for ZmNinja). As we know port 80 is not secu...

1.35.6~20200905091552-focal tabs now works. The Bionic version should work too. Should not matter how you do the upgrade as long as your PPA is set to the master branch.

Looks like you have a PC with two hard drives. Not a problem! While I usually do Ubuntu a Debian Buster should be pretty much the same. You can change your existing to do the same as the below... When you set up the OS, with both drives in the PC, Format SDA for the OS and mount as "/" Format SDB an...

Let us know when you need help with PTZ. Someone here will have an answer.. As for Zoneminder LEMP on Ubuntu, I have a couple of servers running with NGINX, Mariadb and PHP 7.2. I use older PC's for servers. Usually i5's or better. Install the OS and database to a small SSD (120 GB for a start) with...

Good to hear you got Zoneminder working on 20.04/NGINX. Must admit that every time I tried ZM on 20.04 LEMP it failed. Might need to get your procedure as mine on the WIKI does not seem to work.

Edit: Found my error in the WIKI install instructions for LEMP!

If you are using Firefox there is a configuration fix that will allow the browser to show all the monitors. Should be in the wiki somewhere.

Yes, the cameras are at my elderly mothers, and the Zoneminder server is at my home. I have opened the appropriate port on her router (as described in OP) For the original foscam incidences it works fine, but adding teh C1s seems more problematic You may be better off and more secure using a VPN to...

I run a Dell i7 with 16GB ram, a 120GB SSD for the OS and database and a 1TB WD Green drive for data storage. Ubuntu 18.04 with LEMP and it rund 19 Cams just fine. Low res and frame rate as Zoneminder is not a HD movie system!

Linux distro and version? Instructions you used to install Zoneminder?

From what you have described it appears that your cameras are located remotely from the LAN where the Zoneminder server is located and you are trying to do port forwarding to get the cameras to work?

Two changes:
Start Date less than or equal to
Sort by Id

All else looks OK.

Have a test setup running with just one FFMPEG cam. Seems to be working OK except for setting up a USB cam. Ubuntu 20.04 LAMP
Productiion system, 19 cams, in warehouse was upgraded yesterday afternoon. It too gets motion after it was upgraded. Ubuntu 18.04 LEMP
