Trying anything not covered there, you are on your own.

https://www.axis.com/files/manuals/um_howtoassignanipaddressandaccessyourdevice_t10118032_en_2005.pdf It's on the page for the M1125 camera, where it should be: The installation guide. Although, notably I don't see a full user manual, but anyways, installation guide has a path, so it's good enough. ...

If it works in VLC, use libVLC. If it works in ffmpeg or ffplay from terminal use ffmpeg libraries.

Sometimes you can use ffmpeg libraries if it works in VLC, but not every time.

This is the first I've heard of the quantum object docker, but it looks ok. As I see it you have two options: 1. Try commenting out the DB initialization code in startup.sh 2. Add some kind of logging, to see if it's skipping the if/else loop where it should recognize the filled DB, and adjust as ne...

I see a couple used 4-port encoders for $50 a pop. Seems to fit the budget just fine. If you find a PCI-E card that works for you, let us know. Either should work. Just avoid the bt878 cards, those things are dinosaurs. Limited by FPS, # of cameras, or both. Yeah, IP cameras are better. But old coax...

So, the monitor has been deleted and re-added. Every time you add a new monitor it increments the Monitor # (Monitors - Id in the DB). Therefore the new monitor is probably Id 2 or 3, and the old Monitor is somewhere in the DB as 1 still. Connect to the DB and delete any references to the old monito...

So long story not so short, what recommendations does the community have for a 8/16 port PCI-E card? Currently run 12 mixed analog cameras at 4fps 480p. Make your life easy and ditch the PCI Cards. Use an IP Video Encoder. Modular, right tool for the job, no possibility of the kernel module becomin...

I wonder if I have the camera setup in a way that is to much for FFMPEG What platform? The motherboard must be fairly robust to handle 4K. Especially if you use modect/mocord. I have a 8 or 16 core server, and I haven't run it above 6FPS (on camera) yet on 1.34 (1.36 will be able to do better, when...

Post pictures of settings page, camera settings w/storage field, and also permissions on filesystem.

Is it ext4? There have been issues with other filesystems, including networked file systems.

According to the logs it was saying disk space was 95% used. Turned out it was measuring my root partition space but I had my events in a separate partition. Weird... Finally realised that even though I had created a new storage, zmfilter was using the ZM_DIR_EVENTS config variable (I think) to tes...

Did you include the port number? RTSP is usually 554.

Also, you can test in vlc or ffmpeg before trying ZM. It's faster.

Which img are you using, dlandon or the zm one?

Not sure what you mean by load backup. There is no backup involved here. It simply populates mariadb with the existing db on initialization.

Try updating the DB. https://wiki.zoneminder.com/MySQL # zmupdate.pl Probably due to a malformed install. Easiest way is to install using the guides at https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Debian https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu Mint is not necessarily Debian. It's best to stick to what works. Review all l...
