Re: Longer and longer delays sending Event emails

For now I'll leave off the attachment. Emailing it is a nice easy zero-config method of viewing the events externally, and archiving them off site. It would be nice if there was a way of attaching them if they were below a certain size, otherwise inserting a link. Like you say, a more specific warni...

Longer and longer delays sending Event emails

When I clear all events I'll consistently get event emails 1-2 minutes after the event. Then, gradually there will be more and more of a delay. After about a week the delay between the time the event happened and the email being sent is around 20-25 minutes. My log fills up with "Unable to send...

Re: Possibly to automatically merge alarms close together in time without extending a single alarm?

Hi, yes that would help. From my point of view 1 event would be best, but I can see the reasons for not doing that. Events combined into one email would help a lot, as long as the email could include all attachments the individual ones would've had well as still being able to customise the subject u...

Re: Possibly to automatically merge alarms close together in time without extending a single alarm?

Thanks for the reply, I've set it up to send emails, and I'd rather have just one with a longer video rather than 2 (or a few) emails with videos to watch.

Zone type for keeping alarm going, but not starting it?

Hi, I've had a look at the zone types and think I understand each, however I can't quite work out if I can't quite do what I want, or whether it is possible. I have a camera pointed at a driveway. Often I'll get people walk across the path at the end where their shadow extends partially down the dri...

Possibly to automatically merge alarms close together in time without extending a single alarm?

Hi, Been using ZoneMinder for a little while now (couple of months) and it's really great! Quite often I'll get two alarms quite close together (within one minute maybe) where someone goes past a camera, then comes back shortly afterwards. Ideally I'd like to get one event, where the alarms are clos...
