Re: Does it Help to Add Hardware Between Camera and Server?

That's great to hear! Thank you!! Last I tried it (photo) it worked great, then one day it just could not boot. I never went back to see what went wrong, but I did make a drive image to be able to create the file system again. I will try this again today. The photo shows that it looks flimsy and lik...

Re: Does it Help to Add Hardware Between Camera and Server?

OK, well, for some strange reason, I cannot get any of my Intel M2 sticks (from my stock) to perform reliably with the SABRENT USB 3.2 Type-C Enclosures for M.2 PCIe NVMe and SATA SSDs. I had a backup plan though and also ordered SABRENT 2.5-Inch SATA to USB 3.0 enclosures that worked for me in the ...

Re: Does it Help to Add Hardware Between Camera and Server?

I run my pi4 off a 16gb optane in a usb stick. Works great. Hi sir, if I may ask, what is your source for the best tutorial on setting up booting from and using for the OS an SSD? I have a number of links to follow, but if you have one you could recommend, it might save me some trouble. I appreciat...

What version? I see the prices range from very low to very high. For this project it does not matter though since I would not get it until it is too late, unfortunately. Thanks for the suggestion!

Re: Does it Help to Add Hardware Between Camera and Server?

I read in a ZoneMinder tutorial of sorts on setting up usage with the RPI4, and in the notes it was suggested to increase the GPU usage to 512mb, though it did say unconfirmed. I will know if Raspbian can handle that soon enough, this weekend I am hoping. I am using 8gb for the server, and 4gb for t...

Re: Does it Help to Add Hardware Between Camera and Server?

Sorry for the late reply!!! To be honest, I forgot to subscribe to this post and did not know there were replies!!! I have fixed that! I can print cases for my gear, and not worried about exposure. What I AM worried about is the RPI4-based server handling 4x1080p RTSP feeds and also being able to se...

How Beefy of a X86/X64 SBC Do I Need?

Greets All! I am in the middle of a tutorial on setting up a Raspberry Pi 4 (8gb) SBC to act as a ZoneMinder server that would receive 4x1080p RTSP feeds, and serve up a selected monitor periodically through a gigabit switch and router. The end of the tutorial offers caveats on how there "Will ...

Does it Help to Add Hardware Between Camera and Server?

Hello All, I wanted to ask.. does it help stability to add hardware between an IP camera and the ZoneMinder server? I ask because I envisioned a system for my auto that uses an RPI4 (4gb RAM) for each camera to offer buffering, and serves up its data on-demand to the server via ethernet through a sw...
