Just a note - if you were running anything less than 1.37.60, what I said before was sorta true for me. But yesterday's .60 seems better. I'm about to get today's .60.

Check Maximum Image Buffer Size (frames) (?) - 0 is unlimited. AFAIK, that's all you can do, although there may be something specific to your card that can be adjusted, maybe in a config file.

Pretty much, yes. Unless it got much worse for you the last few builds. Been a problem since 1.34 - code name The Memory Remains

In my firewall i allowed udp/tcp traffic on port 554, do it need more rules?

No. Most firewalls only block unrequested traffic. ZM is requesting from the camera, so the firewall should have no effect.

Speaking of udp/tcp, did you try both with your camera? Some only work one or the other.

Do you have a procedure in order to reduce the fps when capturing images different than the "Maximum FPS" and "Alarm Maximum FPS"? When I try to use them I have the well known issues regarding them. I seems to work for me in 1.36 and 1.37. And where you do the manual ffmpeg, I m...

Maybe you can fix the IP in your router. Check to see if there is a way to assign an IP address based on the camera MAC address(s).

Did you ever get it working?

Arlo cameras are not compatible with zm because they do not stream.

First, if using 1.36, you should post there.
Second, you should upgrade to 1.36.34
Third, do you really need 25FPS?
Finally, what OS are you on?

You mean Remote Source Type? Unless you have an oddball setup you want ffmpeg source type.
So start with that, or explain more about your camera setup.

OK. I see what you mean now. I don't think there are shortcuts, although perhaps you could customize your keyboard for them?

edit:
I don't have a camera that res, but looks like maybe you could export and play in VLC with less loss?

In Options->Config ?

Excellent. Good work! Leaves alwhaley's problem, unfortunately. Apparently, he needs UTC.

path "/mnt/recordings/zoneminder"

maybe should be
path /mnt/recordings/zoneminder/
zm needs to make more directories there.

Have you tried setting Monitor->Misc->Default Scale ?

See if
sudo timedatectl set-timezone America/New_York
helps.
Having messed with it here, not sure it'll help, but shouldn't hurt, either.
