One of your file systems is full, or has ended up read-only, or worse, corrupt, after the unclean shutdown. df -h Look for the column that says "Use%" and "100%" :) It could be a temporary file/files have been left behind in /var or /tmp, which you will have to find and clean up ...

"It doesn't function" is quite vague, and covers a lot of sins ... ;) If you have reset the camera, and the IP address is (supposedly) known to be the default -- can you "ping" the camera? What do you THINK the IP address should be, and, what are the address ranges you consider y...

Ah, now that works better -- you've made it look like Magic919 missed off an htm *L* in cut-and-pasting and didn't preview it to check it worked

The URL you helpfully provided is an ASCII art saying that the page does *not* exist, sadly.

At the simplest, you can add a line to your ZM machine's /etc/hosts file to manually assign a hostname :- 192.168.0.50 cam01 Which will mean ZM will be able to call for "cam01" and resolve it to 192.168.0.50 -- this will only work for the machine that you make this edit on. If you have a m...

how about setting up an NPT source on your server as that has external access and then you don't need the cameras to talk out Well that's how mine works and there is a total block on all camera IP's from getting out Note that you may need to do a little more work here -- I had the same config as ab...

I have a TrueNAS NAS. I can offer it up as a CIFS or NFS. I used CIFS because I knew sharing better and there was an example in the wiki, but I'd go for NFS if that solves it. Do you know of a good example of a Free(True)NAS systemd example for zoneminder I might check out? I get hung up on the opt...

Although you don't mention the filesystem in use, CIFS/SMB mounts usually imply that your filesystem in the NAS is something like FAT32. If so, there is no proper concept of "permissions" and "users", which causes all sorts of problems. Nor does it understand symbolic links, whic...

I have been a Linux consultant for 36 years ...

I can not match the years of consulting for Linux ...

Nor could Linus Torvalds ... 36 years puts the true creation of Linux at 1985 or before. This is big news!!

ffmpeg -f h264 -i ....

I have tried setting f=h264 in ffmpeg options

As per the other post, but don't take it upon yourself to invent a new syntax -- "-f h264" should work fine

(maybe the camera started to behave wrong because of never terminated connections from Zoneminder to them?!). That is entirely possible -- some camera's firmware isn't tested to cover all sorts of weird conditions. You could have found a "denial of service" bug there, in the camera, in th...

In the filter settings: Have you accidentally ticked the "Only process [X] events" option to limit the number of events processed/deleted to *1* each time it runs? :) What happens if you manually try and delete a single event from the drive (find the enclosing directory that has you .mp4 o...

Back of envelope ... Let's assume 300W power supply actually consuming 300W 24 hrs x 7 days x 52 weeks = 8736 hours. That's 300 x 8736 Wh (2620 KWh, aka units) Here (UK) a unit costs me about £0.16 so that would be £419 (approx 489 Euro) So it's possible a significant chunk, maybe most, of that ener...

Thank you so much... I changed the port, went back and made sure I had the correct spaces in the scripts. I can finally see call my cameras in ZM. :D Thank you for not giving up on the post when I actually was close to doing so. Learnt so much in short time with your responses. Excellent news! Just...
