Try source type: LibVLC in zoneminder if it works in VLC. Also review https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Finding_Camera_Stream_Paths Test things out of ZM before using ZM. i.e. use vlc from gui, and ffmpeg from terminal to verify that these source type will work, then use the path you used, and the resolut...

Are you sure you installed correctly? Exactly what install guide did you use? Are there any errors in the logs?

If it works in VLC, try source type: libVLC.

Blue screen sometimes means resolution is wrong. Check resolution in vlc. You can also try ffmpeg (which outputs resolution info).

Not all audio codecs are supported. This has been discussed on the forum a few times. That is what I'm guessing is going on here.

I'm going to guess whatever is in zmrepo is what you want.

see:

as an example.

you can try lowering fps on camera. 2.5K res at 30FPS is nothing to sneeze at.

if camera blue screens out periodically, try udp instead of tcp.

if you need high res (like 4K cameras)

You can try source type: libVLC, if it plays in VLC.

I think it's a planned feature (separate audio stream), but not in 1.34. IIRC, in 1.34, video stream must have a supported audio stream in the video container. Some camera's audio are supported, and some are not. Probably Hikvision and axis are supported, I am guessing. I'm sure some others as well....

What distribution? What steps did you use to install it?

Is there a different filesystem on the /mnt than ext4? It is an external drive, correct?

What steps did you use to make the mount? Was it the one on https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Contents at the top (using a dedicated hdd).

Better off with used name brand cameras. You can also use webcams, at that price. Trying random cameras from east asia is a good way to have a horrible ZM experience. Poor connectivity, lack of settings management, and built as cheap as possible. See https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Hardware_Compatibilit...

Please don't make multiple threads for the same issue.

Some cameras are better supported than others. It may be that the webcam doesn't work well.

Is this something specific to ZM or in general for unraid? You might have better luck on the unraid forums.

I don't know if anyone that manages unraid zm packages posts here. Probably not.
