People get surprised when they have the stable ppa and suddenly get upgraded. So in future I will create a new ppa for each version. Unfortunately it's a lot of work, so it's not done yet. The new ppa will likely be called ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-1.32 At the moment the master ppa is as stable as it ...

where is the old zoneminder ppa version? No version for xenial in the stable ppa i've a lot of problems with 1.32, please upload again the old version. I managed to reinstall 1.30.4, after purging 1.32, I removed 1.32 (for the time being...) using these commands WARNING ! these commands will remove...

Well I stuck with it and managed to get the script to work with no errors. But I am back to the problem of the live view on Zoneminder breaking up every 5-10 seconds and generating events. Connecting directly to the camera's web interface is fine no matter how I set it up. Next I will try an older f...

Thanks bbunge, Unfortunately I had already purged the app, www-data and the database, so the script was not to happy about that. It is a dedicated server, so it is best that I start from scratch. Just not sure whether to go to Ubuntu 18, PHP 7.0, Zoneminder 1.32, or go back to Ubuntu 16.04, PHP 5.7,...

Ubuntu 16.04.10 Linux version 4.4.0-135-generic Trying to write to local drive..same drive and directory as the other 2 cameras (1 HikVision, 1 Foscam) are writing to all the time. After the 1.32 update, 1 out of my 3 cameras (an Hikvision) would create 30+ minute events (6GB) every once in a while,...

Added new Camera but Storage directory not created.
Tried creating manually, but did not help

Can't open /CamDrive/5/2018-09-16/184818/00744-capture.jpg: No such file or directory

Tried deleting and reinstalling camera, but get ZoneMaster errors saying it cannot create event directory. Previous events were supposed to be deleted ...but they are still there also. Tried creating directories manually but no events. 2 of of 3 cameras are working normally, but adding new camera is...

System captured a 12 minute and a 6 minute modect event over the last few hours. there were only a few alarm frames at the beginning of each, but it kept recording for 5400+frames. There were no errors in the log during these events. All other events recorded normally and were viewable. I cannot exp...

After the upgrade I am getting occasionally extremely long Modect recording sessions..1 hour or more...resulting in events that are GB's in size. Some have been 6GB ! There is no continuous motion during these events...the system just does not stop recording it seems. How do I limit event recording ...

Did you take a backup of your database? If so I'd love to have to test with. Sorry no backup. It was not until I noticed all the Mysql database updates that I realized this was just not another minor daily update. I was using the recommended linked storage method with 1.30.4, and all the directorie...

Unexpectedly received the update from 1.30.4 ( Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS LAMP ) while performing the usual apt-get dist-upgrade. Some quirks but looking good so far. Just need to know... where have all my prior events before update gone. I had some images of a car theft the other day, and really needed tho...

Anybody ????

zma runs 3 processes, accounting for 20%+ of my utilization (...old server).
If you can enable and disable ZMA Audit in the Options, why is it still running 3 processes?
Or are these completely different processes, that just have the same name "zma" ?

I figured disabling ZMAudit in the System/Options (and then restarting) would save me some processor utilization, but it is still running 3 processes, according to TOP.

Is this normal?

Ran through the steps to run zmaudit one more time, and it cleaned out the database overnight!
All is well now.

That step worked fine , but zmaudit is not updating the database. I can see by the PID it is running, and I tried all the options...set it to run, set it to remove any items older than 12 hours etc, but I still have 43K/1700 pages of events listed for that camera after 2 days. Guess I will need to u...
