It's for a separate audio stream.

There are docs for the API if you want to dig in https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html

Doesn’t seem to be a ZM problem. Sounds like the network to me.

Just use whatever works best for you out of RTSP and RTMP. ONVIF is not a streaming protocol, so forget that.

You'll need to have a search and formulate a plan. Here's what I do - I wouldn't run mine on a VM. I have a machine with a decent number of cores and speeds plus 64GB RAM for 4 cams. I tuned the DB and run it on solid state drive. I reduced analysis FPS. I turned off storing JPEGs. I use local stora...
