You start by looking at the logs. Concentrate on one monitor using the search filter.
Might have to turn on debug if that doesn't help.

Docker may be related, not sure what you can do unless there's a newer one, or you go non-docker.
Even though you are specifying h264, have you verified that's what VLC says it's playing? How about the frame rate?
You should have something in the log about what's happening with this monitor.

Second Issue: I have events where the event name is "New Event" instead of "Event-eventID", these events have no end time and are unplayable. That indicates in progress, or either abnormal exit or crash, in my experience. Unless there are more than a couple of them per monitor, ...

No, the function is still there....for onvif, after playing with it, the memory came back. Lol, pretty hard to mix nmap up with zm

Right, since you said years back I thought you wouldn't have seen that...I'm getting old, and time flies...

You know this has to be something stupid simple, but I'm out of ideas.
Unless you want to clone the working one, to see if maybe there's some hardware problem.

by mohbandy » Mon May 06, 2024 8:04 pm I can stream it great using VLC and the following: rtsp://USER:PW@IPADDR:554/H264/ch1/main/av_stream If that path works in VLC it ought to work with zm. Are you really running 1.34? You may need to update to 1.36. What exactly do you mean by "show up in i...

Maybe you're thinking nmap? And then there's VLC. Just looked at the amran, and like every solar powered cam I've seen, it transmits on motion detection only. So not good for ZM. You could make it work with an external battery and solar panel sized for it and connected at the usb-c. Didn't see a spe...

What it is that create the white windows, php? javascript?

Dunno, sorry. When you install, are you doing so as super user? If not, please try with sudo su.
That's how Ive always done it, but seems to not be mentioned, so it may not matter, but maybe it does?

If you aren't, use mount by uuid.

/var/log/zm/error.log should probably be owner&group www-data, or whatever it is on the working machine. True? or?

Hmm.
What does your (ubuntu/linux) System->Settings->Date & Time page look like?
I'm pretty sure "US/Eastern" is not valid. Probably should be New York, United States

Did you point the cameras at the new storage? The default is null, so you need to change it.

You're using 1.37?
What are you installing on - bare metal or ?
Logs?

You may have found an incorrect how to.
Here's a good one https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Serv ... der_1.36.x
just change the repo to master if you really want 1.37 and it ought to work.

No telling what you have now. Strongly suggest you start over with install of 22.04, LAMP, and zm.
