I don't have an answer for you, but I'm also interested in something like this!

Morning All! Currently, I have my logging configured as follows: LOG_LEVEL_SYSLOG = Warning LOG_LEVEL_FILE = None LOG_LEVEL_WEBLOG = None LOG_LEVEL_DATABASE = Info LOG_DATABASE_LIMIT = 500000 This basically fills the database with a bunch of informational logs, that most of the time are of little us...

I might suggest reducing the frame rate on your detection/low res feeds to 2-4 fps. You're looking for changes to trigger recording. The slower the frame rate the easier to detect change. Very interesting... I may look into this. I don't have any real issues, so I'm not sure I want to tinker with a...

No problem-o!

So... Wow. ZM 1.32.x is significantly better on resources. I used to run it on a dedicated machine (Xeon-class CPU with 64GB DDR3 memory), and when doing the capture as "frames" (even with rtsp), the hard drive space required and the CPU load were always on the very high side. Now, I am al...

I have the Dome version of this camera and these are my settings. I use RTSP w/ ffmpeg:

I have a script (below) that I use to get the status of all the cameras and grep values to insert into Zabbix. The script has stopped working in 1.32.1, and I believe it has to do with this line: my $monitorState = zmGetMonitorState($monitor); I did a print to see what was contained in $monitor, and...

Those parameters have been not been needed since the day ZoneMinder switched to using mmap, which was 1.25.0, which was 10 years ago. This is one of those things that has become an Urban Legend, and no amount of documentation seems to dispel the myth that shmall and shmax are still needed by ZoneMi...

I'm basically performing a clean install of 1.32.1 on my Ubuntu 18.04.1 box. I've continued to roll forward my "kernel.shmall" and "kernel.shmmax" settings. I'm not sure that I still need them as the documents appear to point at the fact that MMap made these obsolete. Is that tru...

Actually there is a package for ZM 1.30.4 on Bionic. See the WIKI. It is for 64 bit OS (AMD64) only as that is what I decided to work on and most folks can run 64 BIT OS. If not stick with Ubuntu 16.04. https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Server_18.04_64-bit_with_Zoneminder_1.30.4_the_easy_way I und...

I use this script as a cron job that runs every 5 minutes... #!/bin/bash #This script will send an email to root user if the Zabbix Server isn't running. #This script requires the mutt email program EMAIL="EMail@Domain.TLD" SUBJECT="["`hostname`"] - ZoneMinder Server is DOWN...

Given that Ubuntu 18.04 is the next LTS version of Ubuntu, and that 1.31 is "nowhere near ready for production use", what's the plan to support ZoneMinder 1.30.x on 18.04 long-term? Is there a chance that someone will setup a PPA? I'd offer some computing resources to it (I run a whole rac...

In case you want to know, the likely reason your upgrade failed is that Zoneminder was not included in 18.04. Therefore, the upgrade did not find an install for Zoneminder and removed it as an obsolete package. The database and events were left. There were also changes to PHP, Cake and Crud. I was ...

Sorry to hear your system is toast. You may be best to start over with a fresh Ubuntu install. I feel 16.04 runs a bit faster than 18.04 but... In case you missed it there are upgrade instructions to go from 16.04 ZM 1.30.4 to 18.04 ZM 1.30.4 at: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Common_Issues_with_Zonem...

So... I migrated my server running 1.30 on Ubuntu 16.04 that was running perfectly, over to 18.04. Since then, it seems like everything is broken. No matter what I tried, my web console always said that ZoneMinder was stopped. I even tried the script on the wiki that broke things even worse... I dec...
