I wanted to use a cron but not sure what the magical code is for my camera. What is the camera type? If a clone of another type, which is it? So you are trying to move the camera to a "home" position after it moves to look in the direction of an event from another camera that is linked and alarmed?...

why would zoneminder be ignoring what's set in zm.conf? Are there any config files in /etc/zm/conf.d that are overriding the zm.conf? If so the configurations in /etc/zm/conf.d/*.conf will override the zm.conf by design. Something like "zmcustom.conf" or "any-name.conf" will be the culprit if this ...

after looking at the source being produced it appears all the selections are being generated but are not being displayed. The blue highlighted position is where the <option> tags should be but appear to be generated on the CSS class above it and never are displayed in the drop down container. Or som...

I'll look into it further. I have seen this both on PHP 7.4 and 7.2, in Void Linux and Puppy Linux Bionic64. Seems like it might be something simple...hopefully!

At least you are seeing it as well and it's not Distro related.

Will do.
Still having problems with the Log viewer. All the filter selection menus are empty. So no select a component to filter the Log results for example.

I think you have made some progress! Have you attempted to set up this camera using onvif in Zoneminder? I could try to help you modify a script if we can identify one that is close. Can you locate the PERL control scripts for the different cameras in your ZM installation? Can you post the info you ...

Some times taking a known working control script and modifying it to work on this camera will get one started down the right path. Is it possible to use the PTZ method with IE and look at the URL's it sends to the camera to move it pan and tilt?

Is this camera a clone of another type?

yes there seems to be something broken in the PTZ Controls section. The next update will fix it.

The default login for Zoneminder is user = admin password = admin Depending on the configuration, there is either a menu bar on top of the page Screenshot(3).png or if selected in Options->Web->WEB_NAVBAR_TYPE : Screenshot(4).png The Menu is to the right click on the button with 3 horizontal lines

the directories ownership needs to be the same as the web server and Zoneminder user. There are several that need to be the same.

Testing Indexing.......

is the mysql server running?

I think your problem is as simple as the wrong permissions are set for the ZM configuration directory /etc/zm!

insure that
/etc/zm
/var/cache/zoneminder
/var/log/zm

all are owned by the webserver and ZM user! In my case it is www-data most of the time

Hello Ic0n, once in awhile on some systems right after installing ZM and importing the zm_create.sql I also need to install the very last zm_update.sql manually and that fixes these errors. Only on some systems though and I thought since I'm mostly installing ZM on the outer fringes operating system...

Hello! have you checked the system clock and looked at the setting for TimeZone in Options->Systems in Zoneminder? also a restart of the mysql server may be needed to sync the time between the servers. I may be way off but it's a start The time being correct is important for the way the events are n...
