The logs say it's a parsing error on the apparmor file for mysql, so try copying a working one from another machine. I've had scenarios where copying from a working machine has worked in the past. Another option you have is to install and configure mariadb instead of mysql. I took a quick look at th...

Yes, you can backup then restore. You may need to run zmupdate.pl -f or zmupdate.pl after restoring.
Instructions are here: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/MySQL#Backup

Backing up the config only is faster if you don't need the events.

Did you test it, and it didn't work? I haven't looked at this functionality in a while. But I would think it has applications in point of sale or industrial settings. (people seem to like the bounding box overlays as well) It might be easier to just not use passthrough, but I have this as a possible...

That explains it. https://wiki.zoneminder.com/MySQL#Backup_config_only updated.

What worked for me, for 1 camera was to go to https://wiki.zoneminder.com/MySQL#Backup_config_only do a config backup only. Restore following the instructions afterwards. Then when the events are actually gone do two things: 1) run zmaudit 2) start recording on the camera It should reset the event s...

If you make sure you run backups regularly (db corruption is always possible) you shouldn't have too much to worry about.

What works for me is ZMES. But you may need more horsepower to run that. The image recognition (yolo and others) is worth checking out if you have not used it before. I wrote this up: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/ZMES Not sure I would run ZM on a laptop, unless it was a small amount of cameras. I fou...

LOG_DEBUG is only for certain targets, e.g. _zmc_m5. Read the "?" next to LOG_DEBUG_TARGET. But if LOG_LEVEL_WEBLOG is set to debug, it should show all logs in the weblog, after you restart zoneminder. Try the syslog option? There is also what I find most useful the LOG_LEVEL_FILE where fi...

added to https://wiki.zoneminder.com/ZMES I thought the zm-movie script you previously made was well made, so I'm sure this is good as well. One of the weaknesses of ZMES is that it could become abandonware if no one manages it, so it's good to have other options. Thanks.

I think I've seen this before, though I can't remember what is the solution. Check this page: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Using_a_dedicated_Hard_Drive and make sure you followed all the steps correctly. I think that page has all the failure cases we've seen on the forums so far (such as using a file...

It being a combination of 4 encoders and the paths would like up with the Axis encoders I've used before: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Axis#AXIS_M7014 It sounds like they just packaged 4 of the 7014's into the 7016. Is it only one ethernet port though? That would be funny to have 4 ip addresses on on...

Unfortunately 2 things, the article mislabels parenthesis as brackets and it does not use "in set" and show examples of the format. () = parenthesis [] = brackets You are correct. The ZM documentation uses the word brackets so I just reused it. https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/stable/...

You can also use brackets for multiple values. See https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Filters#Exa ... arenthesis

ZM does not show the feeds from the cameras but does record them. Is there anything in the javascript logs in the browser? Sometimes when I reinstall, I end up losing the proper jquery or js files. They are all versioned, so you can have version mismatches. Backup script used: START="$(date +&...

Remember that higher res also means more HDD storage. Eventually, the increased resolution will not be worth it. Where the trade off will be, we will probably find out in the future. Cameras will also probably become commodity. At that point, it's just a question of optimizing the software and hardw...
