It's not about 1 person donating. Blue Iris is a commercial product with a lot more resources. I was lamenting that this is the situation, and I cannot afford to fix it. I don't even use ZMES and I didn't write it. ZM donations are around $200/month. That's not even enough to pay for our amazon cos...

Perhaps if ZoneMinder cost the same amount as Blue Iris we could do a better job. Just wow, This being from a dev of the project leaves a sour taste in my mouth, especially from someone that has donated more than the cost of blue iris over the years.... Sorry if I struck a nerve there, but damn man...

Yes event server can miss very short events. In 1.37 you can configure to run a script on event start/stop. However I have to wonder... are these short events really of interest? I will fire up a vm and try out 1.37, yes the short events are of interest if they include people, and 75% of them do in...

Solved: I removed zoneminder and zmes and installed blue iris and deepstack.... Works first shot out of the box... Cpu usage is overall alot lower on the same hardware, no missed events, and the community already seems alot more helpful.... Hopefully one day I can come back to zoneminder and zmes.

Still working on this problem, I upgraded the gpu thinking that I might have been running out of vram and that might be why zmes was skipping events. I have since found this not to be true. However, I did end up with a faster gpu out of the deal and performance is up across the board... I also tried...

Those errors just mean that zmes asked zm API for that frame I'd (231) and zm didn't reply with the requested frame.of I remember correctly. Are the monitors in question using video pass through? In my testing MP4 events are much slower for to zm needing to decode the MP4 and then grab a jpeg image...

I believe you are looking for the timestamp to be removed from the camera image... it is found in the options section.

A little more information I found while watching the zm logs this morning. It does not happen with every event but I am getting some errors that pop up in the logs about Frame Reading, and No Frame found for event. I am still watching logs this morning so I can see if I can catch it "in the act...

Hello,

As the title says I am trying to figure out why ZMES is skipping some events for analysis, yet it is choosing to analyze others. I have attached a screenshot below. Any insight would be helpful.

Thanks,
Kalter

I believe it is supported with zoneminder 1.32+ However future support after development stopped on ZMES is not guaranteed.

thanks everyone for replying. No luck until now. Had some troubles with a lacking systemctl. etc. So now did start over again with ubuntu server 22.04. That script looks good but is talking about Mariadb also. Suppose i need to choose just one of them, wich one would be a better match . Mariadb or ...

I prefer this guide when installing zoneminder on ubuntu 20.04 straight forward and works out of the box everytime.

Editing the filter in this manner worked exactly like I wanted. Thank you again asker... I do have one more quick question and if I need to repost and make another thread in the apps section I will but is there a way to configure the size of the output image that zmes creates? Like say if I wanted t...

Thank You Asker! That is all I was looking for... The main reason for wanting to use an Email filter versus push notification is because Push uses data. If you are on a restricted data plan as I am then it counts as data on the account... If I use email then it is considered as sms and does not coun...
