I can verify that the install script at: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Serv ... der_1.36.x works. The full install procedure should work for 22.04 64 bit install and the Pi install.
As a side note I did disable the cloud init function as I do not need any cloud services.

I started over with a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 with Mariadb and this time I succeeded installing Zoneminder. However, I did not use the install script from the WIKI but ran the individual commands: add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-1.36 apt update apt install zoneminder systemctl enable zoneminder...

Yup. I've had the same experience. Go back to Ubuntu 20.04 or better yet Debian Bullseye. The Ubuntu folks are putting too much junk in their server version and there is no mini install that allows you to add just what you want or need. For my needs Debian Bullseye runs better than Ubuntu anyway and...

Installing on a RPI is really no different from a PC. The Debian Bullseye install on the WIKI is at: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Debian_11_Bullseye_with_Zoneminder_1.36.x To upgrade your install you need to change the line in the file /etc/apt/sources.list or possibly /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zonemin...

WD Green drive is a good choice. As for adding it there is an old how to in the WIKI for Ubuntu to use systemd to mount a drive. Then add the storage space in zoneminder. Or extend the current drive with LVM.

Capture Method video for Linux version 2
Device Format PAL (at least start here)
Capture Palette Auto
Capture Resolution 640x480 (this may be the entire problem but start low then go higher maybe. This is a Pi3 so do not expect too much with high res)

Hi, I seem to have a similar problem. Running a Debian server which I upgraded from 9 to 11 recently. Since then I have issues with ZM. I realised that 1.36 is now the current version so I changed the zoneminder.list file to point to 1.36 bullseye. But now it seems to be completely broken. Not sure...

I just built a new machine and installed 32 GB of RAM... thinking that should be sufficient. I just noticed that I'm solidly using 26.0 GB of RAM, thankfully no swap, but only 4.6 GB is listed as available. While I'm glad I'm not at 100% and 0% swap, I'm curious what is using all the RAM. I'm not s...

I am having a problem on zoneminder 1.34.22 every time motion is detected. I think there is a deduplicate trigger sent and cancel another. Any suggestion? Thanks! Do not quite understand your problem. Can you provide a bit more information, please. Also which Linux distro and version. What instruct...

Linux distribution and version? Instructions used to install Zoneminder?

Well, I am basically lazy and use Webmin to backup and restore a database. AS for VM's - I do use Virtual Box to "test" distros and sometimes an install procedure. But I feel that using a VM adds work to a system that could be used elsewhere in a production environment. Old guy...Old habit...

That wonderful YouTube video aside there are easier install instructions in the ZM WIKI here: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Server_or_Desktop_Zoneminder_1.36.x AS for the timezone issue, your time is likely coming from the php.ini. There is a setting in there to change the timezone but you can ...

It will happen when it happens!

I am glad you have the time to experiment with beta versions. In my opinion Ubuntu has become a pain and I seem to get better performance with Debian.

Actually you want Buffers - Post Event Image Count

Built another VM and followed https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Debian_11_Bullseye_with_Zoneminder_1.36.x Error right out of the box. Job for zoneminder.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status zoneminder.service" and "journalctl -xe" fo...
