Use your lvm tools to create a separate partition for event storage and configure ZM to use it.

Or just install a separate drive.

I'm running 1.34.22 on UB20.04 server, NGINX/MariaDB (Discrete install not Docker). Running quite nicely, very stable, filters and cleanup work, very tolerant of cheap cams... Works well. GJ @Ic0n I'm running ES&OD in the stock form from @asker. (Great work btw). My question comes from the use o...

I mostly run the script by hand (control freak) I've put up 4 systems on UB20.04 Server. PS. I'd stay away from ...

Start by clearing your FPS fields in the camera config. That always causes me issues. Then see if ffmpeg is throwing any errors if you stream your rstp feed to the command line. Something like: ffmpeg -i "rtsp://camuser:campasswd@camip:554/Streaming/Channels/2?tcp" ./test.mp4 (This is a Hi...

I use a low-res-low-fps-detect linked to high-res-higher-fps-record design on my system(s). Especially now with multi-port, I'd like to be able to use a group of the low-res monitors in montage for over-all area status/monitoring. But, when a operator clicks the low-res monitor (for a better view) i...

Okay, multi port is cool. By setting Options.Server.MIN_STREAMING_PORT to some value (in this example 30000) you turn it on. Its discussed here https://medium.com/zmninja/multi-port-storage-areas-and-more-d5836a336c93 So you can configure your web server (Apache/NGINX) to listen to all those ports b...

LOL, that too... :/

You'll want to look this over too: https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/st ... erver.html

It's from older versions of ZM but the logic is good.

Audio only records when the given monitor's type is ffmpeg and the storage option is set to h264 passthrough with the audio checked. You can test with ffmpeg from the command line and see if the output file plays sound. Something like this: ffmpeg -i rtsp://user:password@camIP:554/Streaming/Channels...

I couldn't get it to work on UB14 either.
Rebuild with UB18

Use these instructions: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Serv ... _Bionic.21

What is "Watch" mode?

Did you setup up your webserver to listen on the extra ports for multi-port?

I thin zmNinja masks this problem if it's not setup.

Is Options.Config.CREATE_ANALYSIS_IMAGES checked?

I don't get this on my UB18.04 zm1.32.3 setup.
The monitor stays as website.

If your going LAMP, use tasksel to install the LAMP stack from scratch and then use the easy way script here https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Server_18.04_64-bit_with_Zoneminder_1.32.x_the_easy_way . works great. If your going LEMP, take a fresh install and use these instructions: https://wiki.zon...

I had issues like this with my Hikvision cameras when I had old versions of firmware in the cams and I did not match exactly the dimensions reported by ffmpeg. Also look at issues of the key frames being too far apart. Also try the straight H264 encoding rather than passthrough and see if you get di...
