Thanks for the help but unfortunately I still have the issue. I cleared /var/cache/zoneminder/cache It isn't my browser issue (I have tried Firefox and Chrome on two different computers) I have two other remote Zoneminder servers on Bullseye still so I will not be upgrading them to Bookworm. I thin...

Actually 640 is the correct permission. However it needs to be root:www-data The ZM on the Debian repo is never right and needs a lot of "adjustments." The install procedure (https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Debian_12_Bookworm_with_Zoneminder_1.36.33) does have the correct permission and owners...

That is because ZM uses zmpass/zmuser to access the database. These settings are found in /etc/zm/zm.conf. However, you should not change them without knowing how to change the zm database user/password and permissions. Ah, Debian 12 has some serious issues right now. I'm still struggling with insta...

What install procedure did you use?

I have been able to get Zoneminder 1.36.33 to work, sort of, on Debian 12. I have used the install instructions on the WIKI (https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Debian_12_Bookworm_with_Zoneminder_1.36.33) whuch work best for me and the instructions on readthe docs (https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/lates...

That might help but there may be some other issues. See: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Debian_12_Bookworm_with_Zoneminder_1.36.33 where you can view the zoneminder.conf file. It is likely the ZM in the Debian repo overwrote the zoneminder.conf file. You may need to add the php entry cited there as wel...

What install procedure did you use? MySQL or Mariadb? I recommend: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Server_or_Desktop_Zoneminder_1.36.x I did a test install last week with Ubuntu 22.04 and everything worked in Zoneminder. However, these days I prefer Debian. A lot less junk like snaps and cloud st...

I have done some basic testing with this release procedure. Cams can be installed, events captured and replayed and ZmNinja works. I should add that I have not tried to upgrade from Bullseye to Bookworm. You may be better off doing a fresh install as upgrades can sometimes cause issues as I discover...

To be honest I have not had a great deal of faith in Ubuntu since 18.04. 20.04 started changes that made installs more difficult for folks new to Linux. 22.04 is even worse! While I author several of the install procedures and I have few problems installing Zoneminder I still prefer Debian. I have s...

Better install instructions. https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Serv ... der_1.36.x
Use Mariadb instead of MySQL for fewer issues.

Debian 12 Bookworm has been released with Zoneminder 1.36.33. As of this writing there are no install files on the zmrepo but they should be added in a short while. See the Zoneminder WIKI for install procedure using version 1.36.33 contained with the Bookworm distro: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Deb...

Lots of questions...

I recommend Mariadb.

See here for install instructions on Debian 11: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Debian_11_B ... der_1.36.x

I have a couple of my ZM cams streaming on a web server. I've set up a simple user and password and limited that user's access to only view specific cams. Here is the HTML code I use: <img src="http://192.168.1.4/zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms?scale=66&mode=jpeg&maxfps=5&monitor=1&user=user...

One way is to have your Zoneminder server located in a secure space away from people. In your "control room" have a PC with as many monitors as you want running any OS you want and view the cams via a web browser. I ran Zoneminder in a warehouse operation where several of the staff had an ...

An i3 makes a good server for Zoneminder. But, don't use a container. My ZM system uses a Dell 13 with a 500GB SSD. I have run this with a 256 GB SSD. I store events from my five cams for 14 days and still have half of the drive free. It is possible to have a multiple server ZM system. Here are old ...
