My cameras are set to reboot once a week during the DB backup when ZM is less responsive. Before I did that they would do odd things after a few weeks and months. I have never tried for short events. Same here, an HTTP request sent for a reboot once per week to keep them sane. However, as the poste...

Good day, I just installed a 5MP camera in Zoneminder for testing. I noticed that the font size of the timestamp in the "extra large" setting is just enough for me. It could very well be a little bigger. High-resolution cameras will certainly become more and more widespread in the future....

Suggestion: If you can't do it by substrings in the way you want (I've never tried that!), try setting a multiple part rule for Monitor name matches (a substream from the list) OR Monitor name matches (another substream from the list) OR ... keep going ... then finally AND any other requirements. Ot...

I guess for your setup it says card found when you look at the output from "sudo dmesg | grep bttv" ? I did do that before posting. Then realised ... 18:23:33 up 139 days, ..... dmesg is rather overflowed and gone by this point. There would be messages in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messa...

but in addition to the DNS server I assigned, it also added 8.8.8.8 to its list of DNS servers. Yeah, I've seen that sort of thing. One of my cheap NAS devices ignores the NTP time server I set up. It has a box to put your own CHOICE of IP address in there. So I set my own firewall (which also has ...

I have a Hauppauge WinTVPCI which shows up as 03:03.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt848 Video Capture (rev 12) So it looks like your 03:00.1 entry might be the capture card? Does "lspci -v" add any detail? Once the kernel finds the card you should get a /dev/video or...

I know that for many, my solution is not feasible, but I run numerous VLANs at my home. I have my primary LAN, that I run all of my computers and file sharing on. I also have a VLAN for guests, a VLAN for IoT devices, a VLAN for several web servers, and a VLAN for cameras. With the exception of the...

They are not errors. If you look part way down the log line, you'll see a "200" which is "OK"! Return/status codes for HTTP and Email handling follow a similar pattern, the first digit is the CLASS of response (Informational, Success, Temporary Failure, Permanent Failure) ... see...

folder sdb1/zoneminder/events Should probably be / sdb1/zoneminder/events Should the be 'sdb1/zoneminder/events' or 'var/cache/zoneminder/events'? Again, note the example says / full path to ... and not full/path/to ... Those leading slashes are important, otherwise ZM will be looking for a directo...

I'm trying to build a background filter that catches small events overnight such as camera IR and lighting changes that get around my preclusive filters, but I can't work out how to find events within a time period of (for example) 9PM and 5AM, across all days. Setting a Start Time >= 21:00:00 and ...

Depends ... if you set up zoneminder with the camera as "192.168.X.Y" -- an IP address, and it gets issued a new address (for any reason, DHCP whim, power cut etc.) then Zoneminder will lose the camera, because it's not longer there. Three solutions: 1) Static IP (tell the camera to use st...

I have one 5mp camera that would not start ZM 1.36.29. The camera resolution was set to 1944x2592 which is 5mp sideways. Changing the ZM camera resolution to 2592x1944 and changing the camera configuration to be flipped 180 degrees and mirrored fixed the problem. This is an Amcrest IP5M-T1179E. I d...

Things get worse after my first post. I replace my memory from 12GB to 16GB and run for a whole night. The memory usage from 7GB (start service) and now is 12GB used + some 3G buffering/caching and only leave 700MB free . Definitely something wrong with new version of serious memory leaks. Any good...

Any tips are welcome.

Then you need to rotate the camera. Physically!

Post the result of ls -lah /etc/zoneminder/zm.conf Because 0640 is the permissions, but says nothing about ownership. On my setup this file is owned by apache.apache, as it's required for the webserver to read it, not zoneminder. -rw------- 1 apache apache 1.4K Feb 9 2013 /usr/local/etc/zm.conf Post...
