Hi Anyone done this ?
I would like to compile FMPEG with x264 so I can use the latest eyeZM plugin,
Thanks…

I will be trying to do this myself over the next few days but thought I'd ask anyway…

How to ?

switched zoneminder off and then on again.
Now is it enabled ?
I don't know ….

It appears to be but disk Storage still shows 29%

How do I get rid of the old files ?

Also How do I limit the data saved ?

I want to purge data so the disk does not fill…

Thanks...

One camera is black but then it comes back on when there is motion….
We have 6 camera's on a 8 camera card each camera has it's own chip.
All was fine until this morning when at 10.30 one camera went dark.
Again it comes back on for movement then goes dark again.
