You didn't mention changing the "remote method" option in the ffmpeg camera to RTP/RTSP, did you do that? Yes - it has always been RTP/RTSP. :( I'll have a perfect image for hours, usually days, then the smearing starts and doesn't stop (only in ffmpeg/rtp/rtsp so far). Is there a way to ...

Interesting... Mine are facing south and west and get a ton of sun (especially compared to my other 3 cameras). The one that smears the most, the 410, is facing west but has a ton of sun. I'm trying to recall when it starts smearing. I'm thinking mid-day when it's brightest. The 410 does it almost e...

Upgraded to ffmpeg 3.2.4 and made a few options changes with probesize and analyzeduration while having the issue with no noticeable effect. I have both a Remote monitor and an Ffmpeg monitor going at the same time and the Remote monitor has absolutely no spearing while the Ffmpeg one has constant s...

Pgrunwald - I grabbed a static binary of ffmpeg 3.2.4 but it was something like 4 (or 40??) megs compared to 212K for 2.8.11 (CentOS /yum repo) so I trashed it. I'll try compiling or looking more for another binary for centos. I may play with those ffmpeg options, or at least read about them. I have...

It would be convenient to clone zones along with the monitor. That seems to be the only thing not cloned.

Thanks!

One more thought. I'm using ffmpeg 2.8.11 but there's a 3.2.4 version out there. Huge delta there, yet 2.8.11 is still a recent version. I've searched the forums here but don't see a lot of talk about different versions of ffmpeg pros/cons/requirements etc. Are there any benefits to getting a 3.x ve...

Did some more trial and error. Killed the zmc process manually and the smearing / artifacts continued. Then killed the zma process, same thing. Then I restarted zoneminder - the issue still persisted. :( Rebooted the camera... boom. Problem gone. I have to assume it's a problem with the camera, but ...

As luck would have it, I have the issue going on right now, for a 3rd camera (one I hadn't moved to remote). The logs are interesting: Mar 18 19:51:02 zoneminder-vm zma_m1[2766]: INF [Back Door: 192000 - Analysing at 10.10 fps] Mar 18 19:51:31 zoneminder-vm zmwatch[2733]: INF [Restarting capture dae...

This isn't going to be high on anyone's list, but wanted to note what I think might be a bug. If you create a new zone and don't drag the edge coordinate but instead type in the 4 sets of x,y coordinates then save, the area px/% numbers don't change. They stay at max. If you then adjust one corner b...

Ha! I tried to answer all questions... missed a few though! 32 bit color - yes Resolution - yes, dropped it quite a bit. The camera does 2560x1440 but I have it at 1080p. Actually that makes me wonder if it's EXACTLY 1920x1080. I'll check. :) Also I have dropped the frame rate down to 10. Would pref...

Hi - First off - I **LOVE** ZoneMinder. I've really enjoyed installing, configuring, tweaking, and playing with it over the last month. It's been a great home project for me. It gets me back in Linux which is always fun... I plan to contribute somehow, if possible. I'm not much of a dev but I have b...
