The standard advice would be to tune the DB.

I’d suggest checking the capture processes, rather than just looking for messages they have stopped.

It gets mentioned on here as a brand that people are using.

I understand. I have a DVR, but for ZM and PTZ I deal direct with the camera. Have removed the old device and set to 1. That restores PTZ.

Thanks.

I'm not clear what you are trying to achieve.

Isaac is saying the capture process is not running. These things don't happen in silence, so I'd be guided by what appears in the logs. Turn up logging if you have to.

A normal web account user would be www-data or apache. It's a system (Linux) account that runs the webserver. Nothing to do with ZM users.

Can you please clarify what changes if I want to use the newer HikVision.pm. I have control device - IP Camera(E6557) . What do I need to replace this with (maybe where do I find it).
Thanks

Funny enough I spent a bit of time earlier checking. It only gave a 500 server didn’t respond or similar.

I put the old HikVision.pm and it works. It’s on a spare server, so I can fire it up and test without breaking my working instance.

1.37 mostly worked for me, but I lost PTZ control and had to roll back. Other than that, I’d be running it. I’d hold it as a package to prevent updates, but I do that for ZM anyway.

Make sure the capture daemons aren't crashing.

Talk to Isaac.

How far does it need to scale?

It’s not a fully formed feature, so maybe it has problems.

I’m sure Isaac could consider adding what you need as a feature. If it’s viable, you’d need to make the work worthwhile.

Have you tried the RTSP server?
