I thought only this kind of thing happened to me :o Does the ZM console come up/display in a web browser? Almost sounds like the web server doesn't know about ZM. Check https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installationguide/ubuntu.html#easy-way-ubuntu-18-04-bionic : looks like perhaps step 7 ...

New installation of zmeventnotification (on Debian 10) with ZM 1.34.15. SSL certs are from/via Letsencrypt. I am not getting the push notification picture. Per the FAQ I have hard-coded an image (the one referenced in the FAQ), but no image is displayed on my Android phone. zmeventnotification.ini i...

Yikes! Missed this comment in the file: # Parameters: # polygon areas where object detection will be done. # You can name them anything except the keywords defined in the optional # params below. You can put as many polygons as you want per [monitor-<mid>] # (see examples). OK, so that's covered. Bu...

[Is this even the proper forum for discussing issues related to object detection (and zmeventnotification)?] Just getting zmeventnotification set up with object detection. Questions pertain to obectconfig.ini. In the examples given within the file it shows "my_driveway_perimeter=306,356 1003,34...

I believe that the answer is NO. BUT, if you happen to decide to use zmeventnotification you'll need to make sure that port 9000 is available.

^^^ I got pretty close to getting an OS and ZM upgrade to work, but there were errors that caused me grief. Ended up reinstalling from scratch. Yes, I know it's not what you WANT to do, I know that I certainly did not want to, but in the long run you'll feel better (lots of old atrifacts will be pur...

Going to say that this is resolved. That is, there is NO API issue. I still am logging socket errors every time I play back event videos. Videos will play, sometimes stopping and sometimes not; always, though, generates a socket error in the logs. Doesn't matter what UI I use. I'm going to just igno...

OK... What UI? I just discovered that zmNinja on my Android phone is not capable of playing back ZM events (MPEGs) even though a similar phone with same OS level can*: I'm breaking down and buying a newer phone. On this same phone video playback works in a web browser from ZM console if I manually s...

What happens if you disable the sub-stream, can you then view the main/HD stream? With shm at 80+% I'm thinking that you're really taxing things. What's your total capture rate (MB/s) look like? My system (NUC7i5) is running four cameras at 1280x720 set to MODECT (capturing as MPEG) and shm is 16% w...

Should be enough here to help guide you:

Sometimes one really has to dig into all the various log files in order to figure out where an issue is really originating.

Upgraded my [G4] phone to 8.1.0. Same issue. Going to just switch to using my wife's old G4+: the G4+'s dimensions are different, which will require me to re-do my custom docking station in my car (in-dash, using magnetic interface; cable is positioned using plastic weld)- maximum effort. Sigh. The ...

Have you tried checking the source MPG file(s) ON the server? If they're corrupted there then you can see it as a possible ZM Issue, otherwise it could be a network issue.

I think that it's possible by setting MODECT on the monitor of the low res stream and then disabling the saving of jpeg and video under the Storage tab/settings. Then link your high res stream Monitor (set to NODECT) to the low res stream monitor (which will have the necessary storage settings under...

You have to identify WHY the database server isn't starting. Most probable reason is that databases are corrupted. If so then there's no reason to uninstall anything: rather, it's about wiping out the database and rebuilding with a backup. When I was planning for my ZM system I had a UPS budgeted in...

There's nothing built-in to ZM that offers any such function (I'm thinking that it might be nice to have it as many people have encountered cases that they'd just like to have such configs, not a full DB blob). In general: Can accomplish via command line sql statement to select everything from the n...
