There isn't much to see in the individual zmc logs. I suppose zmdc.log is the one to look at. Interestingly, it looks like usually one of the OTHER camera's crash when I enable decoding for one of the "faulty" ones. The problematic camera's are 1 and 2. As soon as I start decoding camera 1...

I can take a capture if that would help anyone. Some extra information: I have a second Zoneminder setup running on a VM in another location. There are also two Chinese camera's plus a few others (Hikvision and Dahua) on that installation; not the same ones but the interface of all of these Hisilico...

I've just set it to 1; exactly the same behaviour. As soon as I switch on decoding for this camera all of the zmc processes begin to crash, and after a bit you see load increasing (I assume this is because the processes clog up the CPU and then crash). top - 13:14:18 up 2 days, 16:29, 1 user, load a...

Well, assuming you defined your bitrate, a key frame interval of 2 means that you'll have to compress your key frames A LOT more to squeeze that information in the requested bitrate. So whilst it may be better from a memory consumption point of view, it certainly will decrease image quality. I don't...

Well, shouldn't it be BETTER for these cams then? For the 4MP Dahua's I can set the I Frame interval between 20 and 150 (it is now set to 40). For the 3MP I can set it between 25 and 150 (now set to 50 which is default). For the Chinese ones, I can't set it HIGHER than 12. So the interval is a lot l...

Hi, new user on the forum, but I've been using Zoneminder for about two years now. I've recently set up a new system running 1.36.33. I'm just using it for 24/7 recording and the mobile app, no motion detection required. I have 8 camera's, 2 Dahua 3MP, 4 Dahua 4MP, and 2 Hi3516 based (Chinese) 2MP. ...
