Re: File System Recommendation

Your file system being "full" due to lack of inodes is certainly a real thing This is what makes me baulk at the idea of using XFS on a filesystem that is storing many small files, and not a few large ones. Ironically resierfs was very good at this. XFS recovery tools are not as good as E...

Re: Connecting to cameras on second NIC

There is a thing called a "routing table" within the kernels network stack that tells it how to reach certain networks, so as long as the camera's network is only available via the IP address assigned to your second NIC, traffic to and from the cameras will be sent via that NIC. You could ...

Re: Suggested computer

Our current system is a dedicated video recorder with limited storage space. Re-purpose (well, almost) your current system and supplement it with a NAS/DAS (simple under Linux). If it turns out to be "not up to the job" you have a free and "quantifiable" benchmark to work from, ...

Re: Storage Optimization

I really depends on each cameras scene as to how to optimise for storage. It also depends on the degree of control you have over the codec. Using CBR/ABR is nice for storage and bandwidth predictions, but using quality based codec parameters* lets you eek out the best "image per byte". A c...

Re: (1.36.21)how can i init database

You basically do it the normal way (redirecting the creation script into the mysql command) but from your DB client machine (your ZM server), or by copying the sql script to the the DB server and redirecting it locally. For the "do it from the ZM server" way: The only extra step is to crea...

Re: Can't mkdir permission denied

You've only set write privilege to the "owner" of /mnt/hdd, the three numbers 7, 5 & 5 are user, group & other respectively. What you should do is (as root) find out what the primary group ID of your apache2 user is grep $(ps aux|awk '/\/apache/ {print $1}'|grep -v $(whoami)|sort -...

Re: STRF_FMT_DATETIME_SHORTER

Yeah it'll work fine just fixing watch.php, but obviously if you use snapshots at any point (until the next release) then you'll see a similar replacement of the date and timestamp with "STRF_FMT_DATETIME_SHORTER" or whatever is being passed to the deprecated strftime(). If you don't use s...

Re: Monitors Not Loading Images?

One week ago with 1.34.?? everything looked spectacular. Yet with 1.36.20 something happened. There was something added to support newer versions of PHP, but there was a regression on older versions, and that got fixed, then the addition of the MaxImageBuffers. I think some of it was previous behav...

Re: Monitors Not Loading Images?

Yet I'm unsure where the keyframe comes from: does the camera send it? Or does zoneminder "insert" it every so often? In this case we mean the cameras "keyframe interval", but Reolink doesn't give you this level of control over their encoder, so you are going to have to ask them...
