Re: Storage disk replacement - database considerations

dougmccrary, I think you may have misunderstood the context of the question.
Might be. But as bbunge and then you said, if hardware possible, just add the new drive and wait (or not) and filter.
So why even worry about the DB, which is on the system drive (most likely)?

Re: Storage disk replacement - database considerations

I'm a little bothered by you running zmaudit - it sounds like you may have an underlying problem, or why are you running it?

Re: Error loading event recorded video

It's been a while, but I seem to remember increasing the mySQL connection limit got around this.
It was pretty easy as I recall - google it.

Re: Recommended camera??

You'll often need an app for initial setup, but after that you can usually access the camera directly,
If it wants to call chine, you can typically block it at your router without killing the camera rtsp.

Re: Failed upgrade of Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04 with zoneminder.

I don't think you can on a release.
But it won't mess with the DB, so a reinstall and restore (of the monitors) should get to where you left off.

Re: Network setup question of newbie

1. How do I set zoneminder to listen to a particular network and particular IP? Currently it's listening on the default localhost IP.
I believe what you're looking at here is the ip ZM uses to view the camera/monitor. Whole other thing from ZM seeing the camera.

Re: Zones on Console UI always says 0

I may be mis-remembering, but I think when I saw this, going into the zone and saving it again corrected the count.

Re: Reolink PT Ultra camera

If the camera can stream continuosly, it can work.
I don't think such a thing exists "off the shelf" due to low battery capacity.
AFAIK, you'd need to add your own battery/solar array to get that capacity, which means you don't need the camera itself to be battery.

Re: Recommended camera??

Well, that would be good, but can't seem to do with this camera....?
If you have the camera's IP, try running nmap on it.
That will hopefully tell you if it has an rtsp port open. Some that have it are oddball, like 10554. So run all ports if a normal scan doesn't show an rtsp.

Re: 1.36.12 to 1.36.35 - Ubuntu Upgrade Issue

I've run into this -
remove your ubuntu pro.
May require actually reinstalling, I'd done a reinstall before it dawned on me that's what esm is.

But you may be able to force it...try apt list -a zoneminder and try using the first (newest) listed version.
