I use a low-res-low-fps-detect linked to high-res-higher-fps-record design on my system(s). Especially now with multi-port, I'd like to be able to use a group of the low-res monitors in montage for over-all area status/monitoring. But, when a operator clicks the low-res monitor (for a better view) i...

Okay, multi port is cool. By setting Options.Server.MIN_STREAMING_PORT to some value (in this example 30000) you turn it on. Its discussed here https://medium.com/zmninja/multi-port-storage-areas-and-more-d5836a336c93 So you can configure your web server (Apache/NGINX) to listen to all those ports b...

LOL, that too... :/

You'll want to look this over too: https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/st ... erver.html

It's from older versions of ZM but the logic is good.

Audio only records when the given monitor's type is ffmpeg and the storage option is set to h264 passthrough with the audio checked. You can test with ffmpeg from the command line and see if the output file plays sound. Something like this: ffmpeg -i rtsp://user:password@camIP:554/Streaming/Channels...

I couldn't get it to work on UB14 either.
Rebuild with UB18

Use these instructions: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Serv ... _Bionic.21

What is "Watch" mode?

Did you setup up your webserver to listen on the extra ports for multi-port?

I thin zmNinja masks this problem if it's not setup.

Is Options.Config.CREATE_ANALYSIS_IMAGES checked?

I don't get this on my UB18.04 zm1.32.3 setup.
The monitor stays as website.

If your going LAMP, use tasksel to install the LAMP stack from scratch and then use the easy way script here https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Server_18.04_64-bit_with_Zoneminder_1.32.x_the_easy_way . works great. If your going LEMP, take a fresh install and use these instructions: https://wiki.zon...

I had issues like this with my Hikvision cameras when I had old versions of firmware in the cams and I did not match exactly the dimensions reported by ffmpeg. Also look at issues of the key frames being too far apart. Also try the straight H264 encoding rather than passthrough and see if you get di...

Others have reported issues with straight Debian missing some dependencies. Ubuntu 18.04 works great from the easy install. https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Server_18.04_64-bit_with_Zoneminder_1.32.x_the_easy_way or LEMP stack https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Server_18.04_64-bit_with_Zoneminder_...

Use Multi-Port

You're going to have to figure out how to mux the video and mic on the Pi and then stream it to ZM.

Just a note. I have yet to get a working system upgrading UB from any version previous to 18.04.
Just start from scratch and install the LAMP / LEMP stack.

Note: see forum for LEMP tips.
