Re: Axis 215 PTZ - problem controlling camera (Axis API v2)

May need to TS the code in Axis API v2. Its in file "AxisV2.pm" under /usr/share/perl5/ZoneMinder/Control on my Ubuntu. Turn on debug*, restart ZM, open live view and poke at PTZ, stop debug, restart ZM, and look at logs. It should show you what's happening in detail. Post up here and we w...

You effectively increased the available RAM by removing the DB from the server.

Also, reduce frame rate in the cameras. Most people dont need NFL broadcast-grade high frame rate. Mine run at 10FPS (set in cameras) and seems to work pretty well in live view. This is 10 FPS: https://rumble.com/vqbg4j-turkeys-being ... of&mrefc=2

Re: Broken again 1.37.5~20211206114127-focal

Adobe flash?!? That's so wrong. I am running master on Ubuntu 18.04 not seeing this, hitting it with various browsers from FF to whatever iOS uses (Opera?). It almost sounds like a browser problem. Clear cache, update browser? Flash should not be a part of the equation at all.

Re: many hanging zmu processes are not exiting, process leak

I created a cron to restart zoneminder (not apache2) every night, seems to have helped. I am also gathering data on ram useage of the various processes to try to figure out what is going wrong. I know the developers have worked hard on trying to resolve these RAM leak issues. 1.36.12 is coming soon,...

Multiple cams to that and then to the bridge?
Primarily because of the need to connect a BMS for monitoring the batteries. It allows for adding extra cams or a weather station or whatever. But your point is correct, it really may be unnecessary.

Re: how do you actually get this to work???

You need to readthedocs on installation. The installation will result in a ZM web page, http://whatever_your_server_IP/zm/ and everything for ZM config and use should be through that website.

Or use a FW/router that can limit access to only the ZM server IP. That's certainly not bulletproof, but it would dramatically reduce the risk posed by allowing Internet access to the cams.

Re: ONVIF camera PTZ setup

I really dont mean to sound insulting, but do you have the PTZ cofig setup in the monitor? Its got to be configured for control, then select the control script, set can pan, can tilt etc etc.

Re: Zoneminder 1.32.2-3 on Raspberry Pi 3B

What does syslog show? Is one of the ZM processes crashing?

Is there a port closure issue on the Pi? (firewall?)

Try a short tcpdump capture and perhaps you can see what's going wrong, may need to export the resulting pcap and look at it with wireshark etc on separate box.

Would be worth ensuring you only have the 1.36 repo.
