I upgraded to 57, and have -- so far -- been having no problems with anything, including ZM and montage -- where everything's faster, and the datestamps in the scroller are a readable size now (where before they were in Flyspeck 3).
Indeed. To expand: if your camera is sending a stream in MPEG, not MJPEG, then ZM has to pick that apart into frames, so that it can do things like motion detection -- and if the encoding is dense, then that takes a lot of CPU, or it takes an FFMPEG that knows how to talk to hardware that does the d...
Thanks much for the positive report; we always like to hear those. A 5 minute load average below 1 *per CPU core* is widely considered best. My experience of current Linuces is that you can get away with 2 per core pretty decently; at 3 per core you should start to worry. I have a Dell SC1430 that's...
Ok, well, sure, bbunge, but MySQL says it's good up over 2GB, IIRC, and I'm peaking it at 500-something MB. Or did I misread the report? I don't particularly mind the exercise, but the bigger the hill it is to climb, the more justification I like to assemble for doing it, and I don't know that I'm t...
I'm using about 60MB of swap atop 6GB of physical RAM; free says 1.8GB or so available. And the other machine, alas, is having disk controller problems, and I haven't been able to get it to boot. That said, I would expect *less* trouble with the 32-bit install, since the binaries are half the size. ...
Here's a month's worth of tuning on this machine, which is still 12 720p Cams at 6fps modect; I upgraded the ffmpeg to: ffmpeg version 3.3.4-2~16.04.york0 Copyright (c) 2000-2017 the FFmpeg developers built with gcc 5.4.0 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.4) 20160609 configuration: --prefix=/usr --extra-...
Could your frame rate be too high? It takes a finite amount of time for the video switch in front of the A/D converter to settle. You generally need an entire frame for each switch.
Check the filesystem permissions all the way along the path to
/usr/lib/zoneminder/cgi-bin/nph-zms
and make sure *the webserver owner user* has permission to search to there and execute. It sounds like your filesystem permissions have gotten ganked somewhere.
