I've been using zoneminder for a while now and I'm looking to expand with more cameras and I was wondering if there were any cameras that anyone would recommend that can be controlled via zoneminder with ptz. Preferably with audio options too because this camera is going to be in the back yard. Than...

I posted this topic https://forums.zoneminder.com/viewtopic.php?t=29517 and I thought my problem was that on that machine I started with zoneminder 1.32 which didn't support audio and upgraded to 1.34.16 which did support audio recording. I thought maybe something just didn't get upgraded right. I'd...

I'm a total noob when it comes to Linux and I need some help if anyone is willing. I know when I installed a second drive into my machine running linux that I needed to partition and mount that drive in order to write to it. Is there something similar I need to do for an AMD or Nvidia GPU as well to...

I was wondering if it was possible to use zmninja's object detection inside zones to trigger alarms instead of zoneminder's ordinary method of just throwing an alarm if there's motion in a zone.
Thank you

From the reports on the forum, performance of graphics cards is mixed atm. It's new & WIP. Advanced users only. First upgrade the CPU / motherboard. So the performance gains from using the hardware acceleration option are not significant, but there are performance gains from using that option r...

GPU isn't used by ZM (except by advanced users). If you need lower load on 4K cameras see: https://forums.zoneminder.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=27537 Wait what does the hardware acceleration option do then? https://imgur.com/a/37XBOZp I thought that was for GPUs to offset some of the workload

First off I love zm ninja. It's a really handy app for checking on my camera feeds without having to go to my pc. I'm currently using zm ninja without https. I was interested in setting up the facial recognition server along side my zoneminder installation. Do I need to use https to do this? I'm gon...

Thank you all for the replies. I can't seem to figure out what the issue is. I think maybe it might be related to the fact that I was previously running zoneminder version 1.32.3 I think... a version of zoneminder that did not support audio recording and I upgraded to version 1.34.5 and subsequently...

What should I do?

Where is zm_ffmpeg.cpp located in a standard zoneminder install? I was gonna investigate line 70 of that file to see what's up with it.

It says error parsing AU headers... What does that mean?

Is this the error that is preventing the audio stream from being recorded?

Thank you for the replies. Where do I find the option to turn on debugging for this camera in zoneminder?

Also I made a mistake in my first post. I have zoneminder 1.34.15 not .12

Yes I have the box ticked. This box correct?
