So you made a new entry for the replacement camera. Is the name you gave the new one the same as the old? no, i just turned off the old camera and left it so it had the old videos, just incase i needed them. but i figured it would eventually delete them to recover the drive space. but it didnt. i j...

no they arent archived, i just turned the monitor off and put it to none.

There isn't. There is a tool zmeventtool.pl, which you can use with a filter to delete them later. We need to not be creating them. It's a hack.. Working on it. Could use some funding. Gonna make youtube videos instead. where is this tool at, i tried to run it but it says not found and its not in /...

its already running as normal.

so i was checking my drive and i noticed that an old camera that i took out and replaced still has some videos on one of my drives. i have purge when full enabled and its at 99%. when i go into zm and i click on the total events down at the bottom, it loads those old videos as the first few pages. t...

say i want to upgrade to 22.04, i can just to a sudo apt do-release-upgrade.
would this break zoneminder?

has anyone done this before without reinstalling everything?

Yeah. I think you are looking for snapshot.jpg. They are in the event folder of the recording you play. what? this isnt even my question. if you click on events, then you click on the circle icon at the top left that says show timeline. when you mouse over the timeline it makes a thumbnail of the e...

say i want to scrub a camera, i go into the timeline and i mouse over the time and it makes a thumbnail. where does this picture get put and can i put it on a temporary drive? not the camera recording drive.. i think its putting the pictures on the recording drive where the video is? i have a ssd th...

/zm/store/1/2022-08-12/{event ID}/{event id}-video.mp4

i thought about that but then they would be in 100s of folders.

something got stolen on my property and unfortunately it was out of view of the camera so i have to literally watch a months worth of videos to see if i can see someone walking past the camera. . ive tried to do it in the webpage but it keeps messing up and i have to either remember where i was or s...

i noticed /dev/shm is not used much anymore. i have 24gb of ram in my pc and /dev/shm was set to like 8gb of that ram with only 1% used. i put an entry in fstab to fix this. tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults,noexec,nosuid,size=5% 0 0 now my /dev/shm is around 1.2gb and its using about 30%. this freed up...

when you scrub a timeline with multiple events, instead of making ffmpeg get the thumbnails of every event at the same time, which usually causes a too many connections error, can you limit it to 10 or so? also can i set it somewhere to scrub the ffmpeg pictures to another drive? like maybe a smalle...

same. i tried to add a new camera today and none of the buttons are working, probe or onvif.
if i add manually and hit save it just reloads the page but doesnt actually save anything.

version
1.36.16
