I think it has to be some fraction of the original stream. It must keep the same aspect ratio. I updated the wiki.

For 1920x1080 try 480x270.

Note that the message you are getting is a warning, not an error.

Use passthrough, and then set the resolution to be lower than the actual camera resolution, otherwise you could possibly run into trouble with a high enough FPS if you try to mocord or modect on the high res stream.

It's recommended to use dedicated hardware not VMs for Zoneminder. For the streams, you can do the following: use full res stream set camera in zm to passthrough (not decode) (must be h264, not h265). set resolution to be lower than the actual stream (e.g. if you have a 2K stream, set it to 320x240 ...

You will need either an MJPEG or a RTSP stream. Possibly JPEG images could be used, at the expense of frame rate. Ideally you will have an H264 RTSP stream.

Try echo not cat. There is an example here:

See this link which will answer some of your questions regarding where FFMPEG is used.

Typically I see events not able to fully record when there are CPU / resource limitations. Alternatively, if you have a camera that is not supported well by FFMPEG / ZM that could cause an issue.

Are you using ext4?

With some models of Reolink cameras, people have reported that it's necessary to enable RTSP on the web interface to get them to start the RTSP server on port 554. For example, I searched the forum and this came up: https://forums.zoneminder.com/viewtopic.php?p=131898&hilit=reolink+enable+rtsp ...

Camera selection is important. What make / model cameras are you going to be using?
