1.34 used a fixed length array to hold images. If it ran out it would log lots of errors but not consume ram. 1.36+ uses a non-fixed length queue. It is limited by MaxImageBuffers. It includes the encoded 264 data as well as decoded images so can use more ram than in 1.34. Again though, if you hit ...

I need the recording to be divided into 30 second sections because I have to post-analyze the videos that have alarmed frames. With this setting the memory filling problem occurs. not-working.png With the default parameters instead it seems that the system is stable but it is not suitable for my nee...

lowered frame analysis to 5 and slowly, after 1 hour, memory leak happened again

Mocord/dect on a 2.5k pixel stream? I would only do modect or mocord on the low res stream. Try linked monitors or run two monitors (low / hi res stream w/only record on the hi res stream). You could also try changing analysis fps to 2 or 3. Ok, I will try this afternoon On 1.34 I'm using same sett...

no sound recording

Same settings, 3 cameras but modect after 1 hour:
I think that's a problem with continuous recording not related to video analysis

I unchecked "Analysis Enabled" but I've got the same problem. I also tried to add a third camera and this is the result:

Update: I didnt have any footage I cared to save so I went ahead and deleted and recreated the monitors, kind of inconvenient but now everything appears to be normal again, knock on wood, and has been for a little bit, i'm barely at 1.5 GB of RAM usage now. One thing I discovered that blew my mind ...

The only thing out of the ordinary there is the 15 alarm frame count setting...Can't imagine why that would cause a mem leak, but I can try it out here as well. Cameras record at 15 fps and I set the alarm frame count to 15 to avoid flapping alarms. I tried to leave everything at default but the si...

My settings: Memory usage @ zoneminder start and after 20 minutes:

I have been trying for a few days to fix a problem with 2 Dahua IPCAMs (which work perfectly in the 1.34 production system) on my test environment with Zoneminder 1.36.33 (Debian 12 - Ryzen 2600x - 16 Gb Ram - SSD). If I configure them in "Modect" mode everything works fine. If, on the oth...

Same problem here: https://forums.zoneminder.com/viewtopic.php?t=31794 Maybe the problem is the "Alarm Frame Count" parameter that is "1" by default and if an alarm is "flapping" (alarm on, alarm off, alarm on, alarm off etc.) eventserver is not triggered. My fix was to...

Maybe the problem is the alarm counter on "1". On logs I have a lot of alarm flaps.

On my test environment (debian 11) I upgraded zonemidner to latest stable 1.36.16 and zmes to 6.1.28. I deleted old zm db and re-configured 3 cams from scratch. I noticed that Zmes doesn't detect the majority of events: tail -f /var/log/zm/zmeventnotification.log 29/05/2022 11:48:22.939083 zmeventno...
