Cache growing to fill all memory is normal, Linux takes your unused memory and borrows it. If you really needed it, you'd get it back

FIXED! For anyone who is interested: # chmod 666 /dev/video* For some reason the video device was being added with different permissions. This fixes it! (Also upgraded to v1.27) Now, just to see if that really did fix it, reboot and remove/reattach the devices. Still fixed? Or did you lose the perm...

Lets say you make .mp4 files.

Or even more efficiently ...
where :-

-type f - files only
-iname - case insensitive filename match

That's not normal. How have you managed to do that, as an "event" is an entry/some entries in a database, plus a load of images on the filesystem?

ACTi ACM4200 I do not know the path to the video stream. Using the exact same settings as the old computer, I get "Unrecognised content type 'text/html'", "No content boudary found in header 'text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'", and "Unable to get response" in the logs. Th...

Well then when the documentation says Enter the full path to the device file that your camera is attached to, e.g. /dev/video0. How do I know which, if any device file my camera is attached to? I never entered any code to attach it to any particular device file and I don't see any instructions anyw...

The camera, D-link DCS943L ... ip address ... I'm also confused about the device path. I have some kind of thing, which is neither a file or a directory at /dev/video0 but when I try to read it with zmu -d video0 -q -v it says: failed to query crop capabilities video0 : success Can't answer your pr...

That error message looks horrid, you certainly shouldn't see that, no matter what you tried as config! At a guess, looking at the SQL error, have you literally put "65%" in the box in your config? Try just "65" (no %), you might be confusing MySQL. Look at the comparison bit of t...

Keep plugging away at it. Give in to the power of the penguin.

Thanks for the link.I made it all the way to accessing the //serverip/zm. Opendns says it can't find the address and suggests a buch of other sites that don't apply. So where to from here? I hope you didn't literally use "serverip", but you used your server's IP address. Open DNS shouldn'...

I am having trouble zooming in the watch monitor window.

That also existed in 1.25 (which I'm still running)

I think you're right, the decision on what you are trying to zoom on isn't being made based on the image as you see it NOW.

Your logfile (last post) says "Failed to stat /dev/video:" ... can you check that you have used /dev/video0 everywhere you should in the config?

It looks like you might have an errant /dev/video that does not exist, whereas /dev/video0 does.

It can be done, there isn't a place to put a base-path-name anywhere else (feature hint!) and so this was for ZM 1.25, adapt as needed! Under Configure Options/Images/FFMPEG_OUTPUT_OPTIONS I set (was just "-r 25" here) -r 25 -q:v 1 -f avi -vtag XVID -g 30 -bf 2 -vf "hqdn3d,lutyuv=y=ga...

That's not the problem. I just mounted the camera yesterday, and what I was seeing was something moving, it appeared to be very close to the camera, so close that it was hard to determine exactly what it could have been. Now that it's daylight and the IR led's have shut off the image is quite clear...
