I upgraded my server to Debian 10, then followed the instructions for installing ZM the easy way. I didn't see any errors and the service is running, but when I go to the link in my browser I get this error: Unable to connect to ZM db.could not find driver
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Thank you for your reply. However, after watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjUa0UjZBYQ it seems like I need at minimum 5 mp with 8 mp being ideal. We have had property and autos stolen so details matter.

I'm running ver 1.30.04 on Debian 9 with 4 2mp poe cameras set to Mocord at 9 fps and everything works fine. I want to upgrade the cameras to at least 4mp, possibly as high as 8mp if the price is right, as well as add 5 more cameras for a total of 9. My current server is a dual core cpu with a 1tb d...

That works in a browser, but in the widgets it just shows garbled text. If I use the feed from the monitor it shows everything but the video.

I’m using ZoneMinder 1.30.4 trying to get camera feeds to work in a web page widget on Debian 9 with KDE 5.8.6 and kernal 4.18. When I put in the link for Montage view I can see the fps and the video borders even change colors in response to an alert, ie: a red border when a camera senses motion, bu...

I’m running version 1.30.4 on Debian 9 configured for low band with 4 Dahua 2MP cameras set to Mocord. Everything is on a gigabit network and the camera’s are running 10 fps through a POE switch. It’s running on a Core i5 with 8GB of ram which also servers as my file server. The load measures 1.55 a...

I've tried Firefox, Chromium and Konqueror. None of them show video. The reason I tried IE is because the native camera software will only work with that due to Flash/SWF, and I thought if I could at least get video in IE then I could troubleshoot the others.

I tried the settings you mentioned as well as the info from the wiki. The best I get is a black screen in IE. I've attached a screen shot of the codec information from VLC

I know it should work that way...but here's the link to my other post describing the problem. So far nothing has worked, which is why I was asking about new camera's. viewtopic.php?f=34&t=26748

I have ZoneMinder 1.29 set up on my Debian server. I have never been able to get a picture with the camera's I currently have, but they stream to VLC without a problem. I'm looking at replacing my existing Jennov camera's with something that works. I know there are a lot of camera's that people have...

Both of those are set to swf.

Yes I have. I get a blue screen in IE and nothing in Firefox or Chrome because the cameras use shockwave/flash. The only way I can see video outside the native software is to use vlc with a path of rtsp://admin:admin@192.168.2.124:554/stream2

When I put the full path in I don't even get the blue screen.

I made the changes to mimic yours and the best I get is a blue screen in IE that shows the time/date with numbers counting, but no picture. You must have a different version then 1.29 because I don't have all the options you do. I'm attaching 2 screenshots showing my settings. Spectacle.TJ9522.jpeg ...

Update: I downloaded ispy in VirtualBox and got the camera working. From there I was able to get it working in vlc in Linux. The url is rtsp://admin:admin@192.168.2.123:554/stream1 but I can't get any combination of the updated url to work in zoneminder.
