If you lower the resolution of a camera, and then it suddenly starts working, it's probably an issue of running out of CPU. This occurs with the RPI, which is limited in performance (although much less power is drawn). Either upgrade hardware, or tune your system to use ZM more efficiently. Tuning Z...

If the web server is not showing the webpage, that may mean apache isn't configured correctly. Did you enable the zoneminder config? It may not be necessary with the latest install scripts, but if they failed for some reason, it can be done manually. Enabling config is often a2enconf zoneminder. Web...
