In 1.35 installed roughly 2/25* for Buster / Devuan Beowulf Master. Install was without issue - thanks for sysvinit/Beowulf support. I tested VNC and Website types. I was not able to get either to work. Looking at the logs, it looks like functionality is still WIP, as it faults looking at the DB. I ...

I am having issues getting this PTZ 1080p camera setup in ZM 1.34. I have it working in iSPY and I am trying to use the same connection string like i do with my Amcrest camersa FFMPEG/RTSP. Do the Axis camers use something different? It seems that the axis camera may want you to build the different...

I would like a way to filter events based on the length of time that they have been in existence.

I see three options: 1) the default filter should be edited to include the storage area, so that it's intuitive for new users. 2) it should search all storage areas mounts by default. 3) if a new storage mount is created, then a new purgewhenfull filter is generated for that mount. It's somewhat of ...

There seems to be support for non SSL built into zmes, so while you *should* have SSL, it isn't a hard requirement. You are right. Slight miscommunication. There are situations where ZM with HTTP over the internet is ok. If you have an environment where it doesn't matter if someone else logs in[1],...

I checked the ports that zmninja desktop app was opening and it was only opening the web port to zoneminder. Normally that would be port 80 unless you have it running on https, then it would be port 443 Let's be clear, if you are using ZM on the internet, you must use https/ssl encryption which is ...

Is there a "normal" place where zoneminder really wants me to make these mount points?

See: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Using_a_ded ... Hard_Drive

That doesn't look like the classic data-corruption that causes MPEG tearing artifacts. It looks like either the resolution or the colourspace (number of bytes per pixel) is wrong, and the picture is being scrambled because of it. Check *very* carefully that the resolution the camera is actually sen...

I didn't mean change settings on ZM, I meant on cameras. If you factory reset the cameras and there are 6 distinct cameras that don't work it seems to be a hardware fault, assuming the hw and fw revision is the same or otherwise not impacting anything. You also want to rule out interference on ether...

There is a weekend example here: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Filters Note that the OR restarts the filter parameters, so you must be repeat everything. Keep it simple to save yourself headache. date/time greater than or equal to -1 minute AND alarm frames greater than or equal to 1 AND Weekday equal...

Is the system overloaded? Does it occur when you add the 14th camera, or always on 7 specific cameras? Perhaps the hardware is faulty. Does a 2nd computer with ffmpeg / vlc show the feed garbled? Is the resolution the same? Do the logs indicate anything is wrong? Post logs. Are the cameras all setup...

One last thing don't ask me for any config file or log file my company policy force me to keep then secret.

hah. Most ZM logs & configs are not sensitive information.

(Should be posted in hardware compatibility.)

See https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Finding_Camera_Stream_Paths

Try ffmpeg from terminal. Try VLC from gui. Do those work?

Sounds like the path is wrong. Are you sure that path works with ffmpeg/vlc?

Do the apache logs offer any hints (might need to make more verbose)? What about browser console logs? It sounds like a cookies issue, since you said it works once. Also, how is OpenSUSE different from Debian setups? That might be something to pay attention to. I'm familiar with Debian and ZM, but h...
