Re: Coming back to Zoneminder

Most (if not all) cameras can do h264. If not zm can still record, but not play back h265, as I understand. GPUs have been found lacking - Cores are what you need. 1 per cam at high res. I can do H264.. not a problem. The problem is that of double compressing video unnecessarily. I'm quite certain ...

Re: Coming back to Zoneminder

ZM can do camera passthrough when saving video files, so no recompressing. H264 is the way to go, since no browsers (except Safari) can playback H265. H264 is fine. I've been using H265 with the current NVR. That's the only reason I mention it. How do you make Zoneminder use passthrough only? Last ...

Coming back to Zoneminder

I tried ZoneMinder long ago but I ran into many problems because of my low end hardware. I'd like to try again but I have a few planning questions. Is ZoneMinder still recompressing camera video streams? If a camera outputs video as H265, why wouldn't Zoneminder just use the raw stream it's being pr...

Re: What are all these errors in the log?

My apologies, it appears that I havn't been triggering package builds. I just kicked one out, so when you have an update with june 1st in the version, you will be up to date, and I suspect it will fix your issue. Thanks. It seems to work very well now. Videos do play back now and it seems to be rec...

Docker install frozen

I couldn't get the normal apt package working properly so I'm giving Docker a try. I'm following the directions for Ubuntu 18 Bionic since I'm running Linux Mint. Docker is stopping right after the selection where you select a geographic area. I typed in 12 and hit enter and the console does not pro...

Re: SQL-ERR 'SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'ONVIF_URL' in 'field list''

I tried that too but with zm_update.sql (the one without a specific version number) and it didn't work. Ultimately I just manually added the columns to the SQL table with MySQLWorkbench but this should really be in the instructions. There's absolutely no way this is grandma proof.

Re: How to create image of ZM computer?

Are you trying to make an image you can put on a new disk and have it boot right up with everything as you've installed? If I were you I would just clone to a new disk now versus waiting for failure, drive failures may not be catastrophic and can cause a lot of headscrathing when they begin to act ...

Re: How to create image of ZM computer?

@bbunge I knew I could count on someone to sneer :) Note that the OP was asking to back up the whole system, OS and all, not just the ZM database. It's no good having the full ZM database and blank hard drive. There could be a lot of configuring and installing to do before you get to restore the ZM...

How to create image of ZM computer?

It wasn't easy but I got my ZM Ubuntu Server up and running. I have it running on a very old HD so with the constant HD use, it'll probably die soon. ZM has been running non-stop so HD usage is almost maxed out. How do I create an image of the HD but excluding the ZM temp files and recordings? The i...
