Is GMT your local time? If not do the cams go green switching from day to night?

Check the database server to see what it is using for resources. Are you using Mariadb? What cam resolution are you using? If 720P or 1040P you may want to drop down a bit. Capturing jffs or video? If both, turn jffs off. If jffs use video. I feel using video uses fewer database resources as there a...

Here are instructions that work for Debian 11 on PC or RPI. https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Debian_11_Bullseye_with_Zoneminder_1.36.x For your RPI I would recommend the 64 bit OS. Use Mariadb instead of MySQL. These entries for the database server are not really necessary but I put them in as the worked...

I too was noticing the event cut off early. But, it was still working!

Ah, update is showing. Will report back later.

Initial test shows it is working now. Will see what it does over night. Expecting snow and that usually results in lots of events. FYI - I had gone back to 1.36 from the Debian repo. Upgraded to the 1.37.50 from the zmrepo with no apparent issues. Have not checked all the settings yet... May have to...

1.37.50 - Events still not closing when motion ends. Events going until Section length time is reached.

Idle

I've just noticed the events are going to 10 minutes in most cases even with a 5 alarmed frames event.

Debian 12 system

I check for updates daily

@bbunge 1.37.48 has a screwup, which I think I have now fixed. The Monitors permission now has a new value available: Create. So you can limit a user to only edit existing monitors. A lot of code specifically looks for a value of Edit though. I think I've got them all fixed, but may yet have missed...

After a fresh install of 1.37.48 I discovered that the user I crested for myself with all the edit permissions enabled was not able to add a monitor/camera. Only the default admin user can add monitors. I was unable to find a setting to allow an added user to add monitors. This is not good for me as...

Nope, not resolved. On the 1.37.48 version upgraded today and Console is still missing from the menu.

Edit: Also can not edit zones.

Well, the WIKI install for Debian 12 and ZM 1.36 does not use the zmrepo but the version of Zoneminder in the Debian 12 repo. And that install is entirely different from installs done from zmrepo. Your best bet is to reinstall Debian 12 afresh and do the Zoneminder install using the 1.37.x install i...

I am happy to report that I am able to playback events in ZmNinja (the old unsupported version). My ZM server is running Debian 12 with ZM 1.37 and has 36 days up time and with a couple of errors in the log some days I have had no problems! Did you use my install instructions on the WIKI for Debian ...

Try using a lower resolution and/or frame rate. Sometimes less is better. It has been a while since I've use a USB cam on Zoneminder but I seem to remember there are other "color" settings that can be adjusted. Might be a good idea to post your settings for the cam.
