Re: Record High-res H264 streams 24/7 with low CPU Load

Try the script without any of my patches.

I suspect it is the newer version of ZM, but do not know. Further, I likely cannot easily help if so.

By trying the original github latest, you'll eliminate any of my changes as the cause, and instead, zero in on ZM version as the issue.

Re: Record High-res H264 streams 24/7 with low CPU Load

Rather than copy+paste your code insert, just download the latest gzip. You can diff against what you have, or just use it, but that latest upload is all my patches + original in one. It's what I use. Third argument is the zoneminder monitor ID/mid/camera number. What the linked monitor ID does, is ...

Re: Record High-res H264 streams 24/7 with low CPU Load

Make that 4 patches.

This one is in the original code.

Line 283 from original is this:

if [ $ELAPSED_SECONDS > 0 ]

correct is this:

if [ $ELAPSED_SECONDS -gt 0 ]

I've patched it in my version, and just re-uploaded the whole file.

Re: Record High-res H264 streams 24/7 with low CPU Load

Uh, far away from me. BTW Meanwhile I've noticed that my test cam has not audio, but looking to the vlc stream it seems to have it, so I've added it and now it works, at least in recording. BTW the events are correctly shown in the event view, but they are not shown in the console view. The console...

Re: Record High-res H264 streams 24/7 with low CPU Load

You're not really reading, or at least understanding the documentation here. You might also be thinking this is for something other than it is for.

This might not be right for you.

Frames update/info wasn't done, if a linked camera wasn't provided. Now it is.
Another small fix. Sometimes, I'd end up with a 0 prefacing the frame count remainder. This would get interpreted as octal.

Re: Record High-res H264 streams 24/7 with low CPU Load

Hello. Something does not want to be added to my service. Or I misunderstood. How to enable for all cameras? # systemctl start zmrecord @ <MonitorID ..>. service bash: MonitorID ..: No such file or directory Or do you need each one separately? The readme.txt shows how to do this. There are examples...

Re: Record High-res H264 streams 24/7 with low CPU Load

Been playing with this script for a few days, and made some additions. It's a bit rough, but thought I'd post a diff regardless. Changes: - record audio on /off toggle - 'linked monitor' id - update Events row with 1 alarm frame, if an alarm happens on 'linked monitor' - insert of 1 frame on start, ...

Re: Debugging write problems

I might add... lots of codebases have a <contrib> dir...

ZM doesn't seem to have one, but contrib dir / places to upload code can really help a project. So.. suggesting a 'contrib' dir, and if so, go ahead and throw this code there.

Re: Debugging write problems

Just got hit with this. I've recently upgraded from 1.25 to 1.32.3.. and had a lot of events / monitors using Shallow. I don't care too much about moving historical events from Shallow to Medium, except that some cameras do have a lot of historical data... and Medium is better for this. So.. I wrote...

partially cloudy days make zoneminder angry at the rays ;)

Seriously, however, the problem is that my outdoor cams all go into alarm mode, each time the sun comes out from the clouds, and each time they back behind the clouds.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

For some reason, the default is for ZM_AUTH_RELAY to be on, when it should be set to "none". This isn't covered anywhere I can see, so I'm not sure why it is even set to on. Anyhow, turn that off, and you'll be fine. At least, I believe that this is the option I changed. If not, get back t...

perhaps for the next version... ?

Heyo, I have my new ZM working now. Anyhow, one thing that would likely be quite handy to more than just myself, is a delayed "arming" option. Right now, I start zoneminder, then leave the house.. at which point I receive several alarm emails and pages... as ZM has dutifully caught me snoo...
