I use the API - with a json on or off - to enable recording and disable. My concern is for whatever reason the recording I start does not get turned off - did not receive the json OFF request, etc. Is there some way that I can set a max recording time? Or is there someway when I tell the camera to t...

I'm running hassio - and under certain conditions I want to turn on a ZM camera for a specified time. I know how to turn it on via zm/api/monitors/alarm/id:1/command:on.json (and off via the off.json) - but it would be convenient just have the camera turn off after some period of time. I can have ha...

This may have been my issue since I'm running ubuntu - I changed the path from /tmp/zm to /dev/shm...so far so good...

This is on Ubuntu 18.04 - ZM 1.31.47. Not sure when it started - this is a new installation (within the last couple of weeks) - but I'm really starting to capture cam events now - so could have been that way from the beginning. I'm using external telnet trigger to turn on cams BTW - not depending on...

I installed a Ubuntu 18.04 and ZM 1.31.4 this weekend from scratch. So far it working without any issues. I have 7 of the POE Hikvision HD cameras - and one Foscam. Impressed so far though my setup is not very complicated. I don't do any of the "motion" detection inside of ZM - I depend on...

Over the last few months I purchased 5 of these HD IP bullet camera. I've been please so far - see how well they last. The first 2 I bought had a default 192.168.1.64 address - easy to web to and configure. The 3rd and 4th one I purchased - some weeks later - had a 192.0.0.64 address. The 5th one I ...

Hey - a newby may be able to help. Look at the last field - path to the ssmtp program - on my ubuntu it is "/usr/sbin/ssmtp". I *think* that part was left out on someone's post - add that in and see if it works...

I'll answer my first question - under "stats" the first field shows the zone name...

I actually have 2 question. The first question is - when you have a camera set up with more than one zone defined - how do you know WHICH zone may be going in alarm? Second question is - I saw a thread in this forum - https://forums.zoneminder.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=25081&p=95904&hilit...

That was the issue asker - I had the internal IP address of my ZM server configured in the ZMnimja event server field. Changed it to the DDNS host name and it now works. Thanks for the quick reply to my question though. So great app and thanks for all your work on it. I'm going to make a donation fo...

I have Zmninja set up an working when my android phone is connected to my local home network. My internal ZM server is 192.168.1.110. I want to be able to access this via the internet - but I don't want to use 443 - since it a well known port and easily scanned. So I confiugred my SSL port to be - s...

Ignore this. If I had read a few more lines in the HOWTO I would have read how to take care of this...duh

Running Ubuntu 16.10 and ZM 1.3. Installed from scratch couple of days ago - and so far pretty impressed with ZM. Trying to get zmeventnotification.pl to work - the perl script that allows my android phone (using zmNinja) to receive alerts from the ZM server. As part of the install instructions it s...
