SQL updates can take a while. Monitor process with top/htop.

Please have patience with posts. You can bump if your post falls through the cracks, but it had only been a day.

Easiest way to setup email is with SSMTP / Debian. See the above link for troubleshooting info and setup.

Re: Securing site with Cloudflare

This is outside the scope of the Zoneminder forums. Such a question is for either cloudflare, apache, or nginx forums. At a quick glance, it seems the issue is of how to properly redirect http requests (port 80) to port 443. Typically you will have apache do a redirect on port 80 so that it goes to ...

Re: Chicony USB 2.0 Camera (Old 2007 Toshiba)

You mention USB camera, but to be clear - you can use a webcam. You can try adjusting the settings, and deep dive into how it works, if you like. There should be some resources on how the webcam is controlled via tv4linux or the module the camera uses. Or you can go to the wikI: https://wiki.zonemin...

Re: Setting SSL variables

Per subject title, The self certs in ZM work without any need to configure php vars in zm.conf files. I understand you are having an issue with the API, but making a new thread with a broad subject will confuse other newcomers who are searching for ssl help. When a layman is setting up ZM with SSL, ...

Re: Zoneminder hardware requirements

What FPS? What model of camera? (this is important). If you want to run 100's of cameras (I've admittedly only run max 30-40), you might consider either multi server, or instead running distinct ZM servers to balance the load. Or simply get a really powerful server. H264 passthrough might be necessa...

Re: All events are being deleted after restarting docker

Post the docker command or docker-compose.yml

I'd advise using docker-compose.yml

(this should be moved to docker forum)

Re: Anyone Still Using Zoneminder 1.30?

some features worth upgrading for:
  • x264 encoding (lower disk space usage, and longer histories)
  • x264 passthrough (lower CPU usage)
  • storage areas (record to multiple hdds easily)
  • zmninja compatibility (if you use it)
You can run old and new systems side by side to evaluate.

Re: How to delete zmfilter creating tons of email queue

When testing emails and filters, make sure to limit results to 1.

Also once a specific event is sent, it is flagged in the db, and will not send again.

Re: Done! so how do I make it work.

For beginners, the easy way to install ZM is to use bbhunge's installation guides on the wiki, see wiki.zoneminder.com/Debian wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu (these guides are also linked from wiki.zoneminder.com/Contents) Docker is not for beginners. It is often harder to setup, at first than just insta...

Re: Zoneminder in FreeNAS jail - fragmenation of files

Try lowering frame rate or resolution on cameras (not on zm).

Possibly CPU can't keep up.
