I have 4 camera TP-Link NC450. I configured as Source Ffmpeg and the source path "rtsp://user:password@cameraIP:554/h264_hd.sdp" The problem it only works one at a time. They don't catch all four together. Do you know how I must configure to see all four at the same time? Thanks. What har...

Easiest way to start is with a well supported camera (they are all different) and existing documentation at

Configuration is in the db. Backup db before updating.

See the install docs on the wiki:
https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Contents
https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Debian
and

for rpi notes.

Not sure how to handle this in the settings configuration, but zmtrigger.pl will do this. I have motion sensors that activate a monitor for 30 seconds, and if the alarm occurs again within the 30 seconds, it extends the timer. See /usr/bin/zmtrigger.pl

SQL updates can take a while. Monitor process with top/htop.

Please have patience with posts. You can bump if your post falls through the cracks, but it had only been a day.

Easiest way to setup email is with SSMTP / Debian. See the above link for troubleshooting info and setup.

This is outside the scope of the Zoneminder forums. Such a question is for either cloudflare, apache, or nginx forums. At a quick glance, it seems the issue is of how to properly redirect http requests (port 80) to port 443. Typically you will have apache do a redirect on port 80 so that it goes to ...

You mention USB camera, but to be clear - you can use a webcam. You can try adjusting the settings, and deep dive into how it works, if you like. There should be some resources on how the webcam is controlled via tv4linux or the module the camera uses. Or you can go to the wikI: https://wiki.zonemin...

Per subject title, The self certs in ZM work without any need to configure php vars in zm.conf files. I understand you are having an issue with the API, but making a new thread with a broad subject will confuse other newcomers who are searching for ssl help. When a layman is setting up ZM with SSL, ...

What FPS? What model of camera? (this is important). If you want to run 100's of cameras (I've admittedly only run max 30-40), you might consider either multi server, or instead running distinct ZM servers to balance the load. Or simply get a really powerful server. H264 passthrough might be necessa...

Post the docker command or docker-compose.yml

I'd advise using docker-compose.yml

(this should be moved to docker forum)

some features worth upgrading for:

• x264 encoding (lower disk space usage, and longer histories)
• x264 passthrough (lower CPU usage)
• storage areas (record to multiple hdds easily)
• zmninja compatibility (if you use it)

You can run old and new systems side by side to evaluate.

When testing emails and filters, make sure to limit results to 1.

Also once a specific event is sent, it is flagged in the db, and will not send again.

For beginners, the easy way to install ZM is to use bbhunge's installation guides on the wiki, see wiki.zoneminder.com/Debian wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu (these guides are also linked from wiki.zoneminder.com/Contents) Docker is not for beginners. It is often harder to setup, at first than just insta...

Followed the instructions from here: https://github.com/dlandon/zoneminder The only change to the instructions I made was replacing the '0's with 1's for running assuming I want all the extras. ... 1- I tried rebooting but no luck. 2- I tried using the same sudo docker run -d --name="Zoneminde...
