Re: Cant use substream EZVIZ DB1

Mainstream is 1024x1024. And that works fine with Zoneminder as well. It is a fisheye lens on my camera, and I am not using any of the EZVIZ software at all. I did use the HikVision batch tool to fine tune the settings beyond what the EZVIZ software allows. Notably it gave me access to some differen...

Re: Cant use substream EZVIZ DB1

I have the same camera, and use the sub stream to trigger the main stream. My camera resolution on the sub stream is 576x576, which makes sense as it is a doorbell fisheye lens. Works fine at that resolution

Re: Doorbell Camera

I can give you some of my experiences in setting up an EZVIZ DB1C camera recently for my daughters house. Zoneminder is running on a Raspberry pi 4, with two other cameras, so resources are somewhat constrained. I live in Canada and I did not find a whole lot of choice in doorbell cams, at a reasona...

Re: Issue with Memory allocation failed error

I have been building my own packages the last little while, just recently built 1.36.10 for Bullseye on 32 bit Raspberry Pi OS. It’s pretty straightforward, following https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installationguide/index.html. I always specify the distro that I am building for. Do be a...

Re: Issue with Memory allocation failed error

I have been running 1.36.10 on both the Buster and more recently the Bullseye release of Rasberry Pi OS with no real issues, supporting 4 cameras. So we know it does work okay (I haven't fully checked out all functionality of Bullseye version yet). One think I had to do was set the Maximum Image Buf...

Re: index.php?view=log duplicating log entries

Issac, thank you as well. this seems to resolve the duplicate entries and the issues with the unstable screen. However, I do notice now when I go to delete entries on the log screen, it leaves 2 entries I can delete without truncating the table in mysql. The entry appear to be the oldest and newest ...

Re: index.php?view=log duplicating log entries

I have had the same behaviour on versions 1.34.23, 1.34.24 and 1.34.25. The count of log entries at the top of the screen is correct. Also, when I switch to log view, quite often there is a lot of flicker on the entries on the screen for several seconds before it settles down. Occurred both on Raspb...

Re: API not working with 1.34.21 and CakePHP 2.10.11

I have been using Zoneminder successfully for some time now on a Raspberry pi, version 1.34.22 of Zoneminder. And the API's can be a bit of an issue. With the Pi, have used both the Debian packages and when I want a version that doesn't have an armhf package I build my own package and install it. Th...

Re: Troubleshooting two cameras that won't work at the same time

I have seen this problem on Raspberry pi as well. What worked for me was increasing the amount of memory allocated to the GPU, a setting that can be modified using the raspi-config command, advanced options, memory split. I allocated 256 meg on my Pi 4 and I can support three cameras with that at 6 ...

Re: install on raspberry 4 buster

I have this installed on Raspian Buster on a pi 4 and it runs very well. Follow the Debian nstall procedures on the wiki. If you have done that and still have issues, especially with the held packages message, try running apt dist-upgrade, then apt update. This should install any held back packages ...

Re: Only 2 out of 3 cameras at once

The memory split I was referring to is not /dev/shm, the pi 4 with 4 gig has more than sufficient /dev/shm space as you have noted in your post. What does require adjusting on the raspberry pi, is the amount of memory allocated to the video system. I’m not sure why exactly, perhaps the hardware acce...

I followed the procedure here to install zoneminder 1.34 on a Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspian buster and it worked well, thank you for your help. One suggestion though, in the zoneminder.conf file the first line “ location /cgi-bin {” is inconsistent with the Apache install directory structure for ZM, a...

Re: Only 2 out of 3 cameras at once

Try increasing the video memory split in Rasbian using raspi-config. It defaults to 64 meg, and you will likely need at least 128 meg to run three cameras.
