Videos being recorded twice

[kne123]

Hi,
Im new to zoneminder. Should I have two lots of video recording to events? I have the same files under events/OutsideFront and events/3. They contain exactly the same files/folders. I have looked and cannot see if I have messed up a setting. Currently recording on MOCORD...

Your events are there only once. What you are seeing is a symbolic link (OutsideFront) that points to the events created by your third camera. On my test machine under /var/cache/zoneminder/events I saw a directory called "1" with a symbolic link called "1" When I renamed the monitor in the console the directory stayed "1" while the symbolic link was renamed to "Outside"

Brilliant, thanks for clearing that up!
