ZoneMinder Forums

<r>I am trying to become a former B.I. user and toss another Winders computer out of my house so the logical step is to get into Zoneminder. I bought a ridiculously oversized enterprise class server with 192GB of RAM, 2 CPUs with 12 cores each + hyperthreading, and 27TB of internal RAID 5 storage. T...

Thanks for the response. At first look multi-port made my head spin. I'll install ZMNinja on my Ubuntu desktop this weekend and point it at the ZM instance on the DL380G6 to see what it looks like. The DL380G9 should arrive in mid week. I'm waiting on a few resellers to get back with me on compatibl...

I should have the server in about a week and will look for the hardware acceleration setting. Based on links above I will set up my 16 cameras with main stream set as NODECT and sub stream to MODECT and link them (total 32 monitors). One thing I am curious about is how do others "watch" th...

This project sat for a little bit but I will be back to it shortly. Since apparently I have more money than brains I contacted a Data Center hardware reseller that I know and he sold me a new server today.

I think I figured out the low-res hi-res and linked cameras. Basically I have 2 monitors for each camera, one Source is set to the camera video's main stream and nodect and the other is set to the camera's sub stream and modect. That is working and both monitors are capturing video when the modect m...

Thanks again for the reply. I did create separate monitors for the same camera, one using the camera's "Main Stream" which is H.265 2560x1920 @20FPS and one monitor for the same camera's "Sub Stream" which is H.264 640x480 @20 FPS. I also found this post from dparring that helped...

Thanks very much for the reply. I had issues upgrading the server to Ubuntu 22.04 so I just blew it away did did a clean install. I apologize for my noob questions but when you say "streams" do you mean the "Source Path" and "SourceSecondPath" in the Source config? For ...

I am trying to rid myself of all Winders systems in my house, including the one that runs Blue Iris, so I am looking at some of the hardware options I currently have in my house to run a ZM server. Option 1: PC, i5-12600k CPU, 32G RAM, onboard video. Current BI PC, Windows 10 (BI stats say 7% cpu in...
