To: burger: Try lowering analysis FPS (on ZM) and or lower resolution or framerates (on the cameras, not zm). This will lower CPU / ram usage. = the load is tolerable. i am just curious why with the same setup (hardware, fps, resolution, number of cameras etc) has the 1.36.5 showing higher cpu load...

I use the version 1.36.4 Cameras are recorded in mp4 through and look in the browser in edit(montage) mode. Video analysis is disabled. When the stream was 1fps, the load on the server was insignificant and everything was fine. After increasing the frame rate to 8, the load on the server increased ...

Well, if you use MoCord/MoDect mode, every single frame is analyzed for motion. And for every event recorded, every single frame in that event will have an entry in the table you've mentioned. There is also another table that stores per-frame per-zone information regarding pixel thresholds for alarm...

For some reason after rolling back I get this a ton in the log. 2021-07-08 20:58:51 web_js 1927 ERR Uncaught%20TypeError%3A%20Cannot%20read%20property%20'length'%20of%20undefined zm/cache/skins_classic_js_bootstrap-table.min-dark-1624387356.js 10 Doesn't seem to effect anything though. Have you tri...

Hello, I am running the dlandon container for Zoneminder in Unraid.... on or around June 25, Zoneminder was failing to start... Upon reviewing the logs, it looks like I have a corrupt database based on the information that DLandon mentioned in his support forum on unraid. His advice was to ask for ...

I can see this behavior on my end as well. I tried deleting 200 of my oldest events, and it removed maybe 100~or so. But after manually refreshing the page, it shows all 200 events removed correctly. I think what's happening is that when you delete events, it triggers a delete query on the server an...

Not sure if this helps but I was able to lower the increasing memory of the zmc process by setting the camera from Modect to Monitor then back to Modect. This way I don't have to reboot the system. I can set up a cron job to change the monitor function every couple of days. http://45.47.201.189/ZM_...

Hi... How do I install nginx, on Raspberry pi 4, with ZOneMinder 1.36; installed? As I understand it, I can't install it, as it already has Apache installed, and they "get confused". What distribution are you running on your RPi4? We'd have to figure out if ZM provides Nginx configuration...

It triggers because you leave the montage window / monitor or close the tab, the sock file is cleaned up but another thread is still trying to send/communicate over it.

Open up montage three times in separate tabs, close them and look at your log. The above error message appears like clockwork.

I've also been getting this since I first started using ZM during the 1.34 times. Like Doug mentioned, no problems with capture apart from a log message.

Have you found 24 bit color less taxing than 32? The setting worked fine for me on 1.34, where it helped reduce memory usage. All my cameras are outputting 24bit, so I figured I might as well shave 8bit per pixel off. However, now in 1.36 I'm wondering if I'm making my problem worse. Since image co...

How are we doing with 1.36.5 ? It should improve analysis consuming and freeing ram. Yes yes I know I havn't finished all the release notifications. After starting ZM, if I peg the CPU usage for say, two minutes to the point where analysis starts to fall behind, the memory use of the zmc process fo...

You also need to set Options -> Config -> EVENT_CLOSE_MODE to Time, if it isn't already. I also suffer from the spider menace, or more specifically that one tiny microscopic strand of web that keeps floating in front of the lens. But funnily enough the spiders have learned over time not to put up we...

One small suggestion, in 1.36.4 when we wait for the buffer to free up, we get a error message for every packet: Unable to free up older packets. Waiting. As this happens for every packet, this generates a new write into the DB, and it effectively acts as a DoS when the system is overwhelmed. Not to...

Regarding CRF for H.264/H.265: https://slhck.info/video/2017/02/24/crf-guide.html Stick with the default values, decrease if the quality loss is noticable, increase otherwise. A lower CRF value will produce a higher quality image (keep in mind when talking about transcoding, you always degrade quali...
