Funding Update

First off a big thank you to everyone who has or does donate to ZoneMinder. We really appreciate it! I wanted to give an update and idea of exactly how much money comes in per month. These are an average of over the last 90 days but are generally representative of the last year. Paypal: $300.00 / mo...

Re: Error writing trailer Error number # occurred

Turn on debug logging and post the results.

Also need to know if you are doing passthrough or encoding.

Re: Execute script on alarm

Honestly it would be about 4 lines of code to add but no one has ever been bothered to either add it or pay for someone to add it.

Re: Cannot create new events. Database errors.

I've seen this when events were being deleted immediately after creation. Check your filters.

Any filter that deletes events or does much of anything should have an End Date/Time NOT NULL rule so that it only matches finished events.

Re: same duration events

Are you sure that ZM agrees that there is motion? Turn on saving alarm frame jpegs and see what it thinks. ZM's default zone settings were design when the images were 640x480 or less. I find that I have to make them drastically more sensitive. Start by choosing1% or less for all the min alarm pixel ...

Re: Released 1.36.7 The Memory Remains

A big shoutout to all of our contributors, but a special one to Mike Dussault who discovered that we weren't using our SSE or otherwise optimised blending routines. On a 4K 10fps camera stream this one fix reduces cpu use by 60% when doing motion detection.

Re: CPU usage problems

They thing here is 4k.

decoding a 4K cam takes 50% cpu (on my system). Adding motion detection, etc. No way. Forget it. Drop it to 1080p. Even 1080p is ridiculous.

Re: anyone interested in a Discord server?

I have a discord server as well. Paid support access only. Discord is cool, really intuitive. For voice chat. But we are minimising the channels because we do not have the attention bandwidth. If other people want to create discord channels for discuss ZM, go right ahead. The ZM developers won't be ...

Re: NPH ZMS No Stream Using User Pass in URL

I introduced a bug unfortunately. I'll be releasing 1.36.7 today to fix it.

You might try adding a maxfps=30 to the url which might work around it for now.

Re: Filter makes CPU very busy

Just run mysqltuner and do what it says.

Remember, the disk in question here is the system disk, where mysql stores it's work files and the actual zm db. Not where we store the video.

Re: How to set recording framerate

Wouldn't work on h265, as frames depend on both future and past frames.

You re-encode to a lower frame rate.

We COULD just not record frames, but as discussed, the result might not be pleasant. Might be interesting to try though. I would think we would want to keep all keyframes though.
