Here's my current storage setup for the cameras to see what I'm recording.

Hey, I'm running ZM 1.36.29 and have 4 of my wired cameras set to record constantly. When I try and view those cameras in the Monitor tab, they rarely stream normally. Most times they will freeze and sometimes they will flash a black screen that says "Not Connected" then "Unable to St...

Hello,
I l'm running ZM 1.36.29 and recently disabled both analysis images and frames and realized it's saving me a ton of storage. What are the reasons why I would want to keep them turned on? What extra information do the frames or amaysis images net me?
Thanks.

Hello, I recently installed Zoneminder 1.36.14 onto Ubuntu Server 20.04. I followed IConnors video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhBsW8HkOG4 After the install I noticed that the timestamp on the videos and the time recorded in the event lists were incorrect. I used sudo timedatectl set-time...

Just installed Ubuntu from scratch and deleted the partitions. Everything looks good now within ZM. Thanks for the help!

Would you be able to provide some details or a information on where to look to increase the logical volume size?

Forgive me as I'm pretty new to Ubuntu. Why do you say its suspicious? I assume that is where ZM is writing to? How would I enable ZM to write to the entire disk?

Hello, Ive just installed ZM 1.36 on ubuntu 20.04 running on a server with 1.8TB of hard disk space. This disk space is set up using a RAID 1 configuration. Upon opening ZM in the browser and viewing the storage, it only shows 195.86GB available. How can I point ZM to use the entire 1.8TB space? Any...

Hello! I'm following the docs to increase the memory percentage on my ZM server. From what I understand, by default the memory usage is set to 50%, I would like to increase this to 70%. I am fairly new to Linux but have had ZM running for a bit now on my server. Can anyone help me walk through the p...

I Recently changed my settings to X264 Encode to enable timestamps to be seen when viewing recordings or downloading video but I noticed that the audio which previously worked (using H264 Passthrough), does not come through anymore. Is this typical or am I missing a setting which will allow me to vi...

Is it typical to not have sound with x264 encode? I had recordings with sound prior to switching to x264 encode.

Thanks Henri! That was the fix to my issue. Timestamps now show on recorded video.

Hello,

I'm currently running Zoneminder 1.34.9. I have timestamps turned on and they show when viewing the live video in Montage but when the video is saved after an alarm I don't see the timestamp. Is there a setting I might be missing to enable this?

Thanks

Hello,

I'm currently running Zoneminder 1.34.9. I'm curious to know if its possible to have a live stream video with audio pass through for a baby monitor setup?

Thanks.

I have updated my ZM instance to 1.34.9 and I see all of my records now thanks! Just a side note, I noticed when heading to the install page - https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/1.34.9/installationguide/ubuntu.html the latest release still seems to show 1.32. Not sure if this is a type or intentio...
