Re: How to view cameras

@vrm42z Actually, the CPU stats are misleading. My ZoneMinder is one LXC container of 30 running on this host. The host is 25% loaded, but the CPU stats are for all 30 containers and not just for Zoneminder. So, Zoneminder has tons of available resources in reality. My problem if I had to guess is t...

Re: Brand New to Zoneminder 1.36.5

I have an amcrest camera set up and it is green and capturing now with the monitor setting. When I click on the camera to view it, I get a blank page with a little broken graphic despite seeing positive frame capture rate. It is like the viewing part of the product is broken. If I drop the same RTSP...

Re: Brand New to Zoneminder 1.36.5

So, apparently this program just won't do either RTSP or RTMP for my Reolink RLC-520's. I like the tabular listing of cameras, so I decided to keep it and use it as a camera inventory listing to keep track of my cameras and their settings. Since I have NVRs that actually work, I will check back on d...

Re: Brand New to Zoneminder 1.36.5

After reading a lot more I can see that Zoneminder should be able to view and record cameras. I just want to set up viewing right now for my nine Reolink RLC-520A's. I finally detected the cameras through ONVIF and they all showed up. I added them all and it seems it chose source type ffmpeg and fun...

Re: Brand New to Zoneminder 1.36.5

My bad. It looks like this program is used to manage camera assets and not actually view cameras. Somehow I thought this was an NVR.

Brand New to Zoneminder 1.36.5

I just installed a brand new Zoneminder 1.36.5. The web interface seems to be working fine. I have Reolink RLC-520A cameras which with QNAP QVR Pro, Shinobi, Onvifer, and TinyCam Pro I have used RTSP with rtsp://192.168.x.y:554/h264Preview_01_main as the general form of URL. I want Zoneminder only t...

Zoneminder 1.37.0 Can't connect to cameras

I have eleven cameras. All of them work via RTSP to Shinobi and they all work with VLC. I just built a brand new Zoneminder 1.37.0 server. It installed perfectly with no errors. I tried to manually add my cameras with the RTSP URLs and they never connected. I then used ONVIF in the add camera option...

Brand New Install 1.37

I did a brand new install of Zoneminder 1.37. The installation is working just fine and I tried to define my first "monitor". I am a current Shinobi and also QNAP QVR Pro user. Defining cameras (monitors) on these products is straight forward. After reading getting started guide and the gu...
