Perhaps not a direct answer because I copy all events. I use rsync to copy all events to a remote server. The script syncs today's directory with the off-site directory. The off-site server deletes directories when there is more than I want to keep. Not by age in case there is a problem, I want the ...

Your browser, like most, does not like h.265. Test with h.264 and see if it works.

It is not the FW since they are on the same network. I have different cameras so I cannot help there.

Are the cameras and ZM server on the same network? If so, it is not pfSense. If they are on different networks, you will need to add a rule to the network with ZM to all access to the cameras. No rules are needed on the camera network. Start with a simple ANY:ANY rule and tighten from there. A scree...

I would avoid bridging unless there is no other way. It adds complexity that should not be needed.
If your firewall has a spare NIC it would be far easier to add a network to it for the cameras.

If you want to isolate the cameras using a 2nd NIC and dedicated switch, that is a workable solution. DHCP on the camera network is not required, but will make things much easier. You can run DHCP on the ZM server, just be sure it only listens on the 2nd NIC. For ease I have DHCP reservations for my...

From you screen shot I am not sure why it would not have matches. Disco1 is at 45% and the filter is set to 20%. I would expect matches from what I am seeing.

Search your log for zmfiler_# Where the number is the filter number. This will show you what the filter has done.

When my PurgeWhenOld filter is run to list matches it shows nothing. If I change the age from -60 to -50 it lists many matches. Have you done something similar?

The filter runs in the background successfully every 10(?) minutes. When you run it, is there anything to match?
Try setting the threshold lower to force matches.

Predicting memory usage is beyond me. What I do not understand is why some systems use huge amounts of RAM and mine does not. I have 9 cameras, from 2mp to 8mp. I am doing modect on 6 hi-res streams and I am recording 6 low-res streams. 3 cameras (6 streams) have not been deployed and are currently ...

I setup a user that just views the cameras. I had setup the user and restricted which monitors it could see. Now I want to undo that, but no matter what I do at least one camera remains on the list. I have unselected all cameras, but when I save the all cameras last saved remain. I cannot get it to ...

I found this on run states. It is a little old but it should get you started on recording only during off hours.

The pre and post frame count are where you start. If that does not do the job then the blend rate is next. Mine are mostly set for indoors. The blend speed helps to keep slow moving objects "Moving". Object size may need adjusted. I use pixels for better control. Make a zone the size of th...

1) Not that I am aware of. 2) My delete by age files is using the start time and less than or equal. Start or end time should have nearly the same results. I am not sure, but less than may require the event to 2 days old. Less than 1 day, but not equal. 3) Each monitor has a buffers tab. On that tab...

Have you tried querying the log for "login"?
That showed all of mine that are in the log. The time reported is dependent on how far back the logs go.
