So one thing I've noticed, I'm getting a ton of these warnings now: 11/11/23, 11:21:31 PM CST zmc_m7 184886 WAR pkt.dts(18552600) must be <= pkt.pts(18544230).Decompression must happen before presentation. zm_videostore.cpp 1409 11/11/23, 11:21:31 PM CST zmc_m7 184886 WAR non increasing dts, fixing...

I no longer used linked monitors... they were too flakey. What I do now is I monitor the high res stream, but I tell Zoneminder it's low res. So, my camera is 1080P or more, in the Source settings I tell Zoneminder it's 640x360. Zoneminder automatically resizes and does detection on the low res imag...

I guess that html post is what happens when we change the settings on the monitor settings pages. So the same mechanism could be used to change anything?

Those lines use the Zoneminder API.

I have a single line in my crontab: # Start monitoring on Monitor 3 0 22 * * * root /usr/bin/curl -XPOST http://localhost/zm/api/monitors/3.json -d "Monitor[Function]=Modect&Monitor[Enabled]=1" # Stop monmitoring on monitor 3 0 6 * * * root /usr/bin/curl -XPOST http://localhost/zm/api/...

So, I've gone through DLink and EZVIZ cameras. Both -- after a year or two -- just seem to stop working reliably... usually something to do with the wireless (pings times all over the map). I'm looking for a smallish indoor RTSP camera that has some reliability. I'd love to go wired, but that's just...

If your camera sends an RTSP h264 stream, just use pass through and don't encode on your system.

I have two giant doubts: 1.- How to set up a monitor room? Pc with screens so that you can see the cameras (24/7) and monitor/control from there. 2.- The storage, how to store on the same server (proxmox cluster) how to create or configure the storage so that the videos remain there? From what I've...

I run seven cameras and do all of my motion detection at the lowest resolution of the camera (640x360 ish). I then have a linked monitor at full res (usually 4k) that saves with camera passthrough. I'm running in an LXC container under Proxmox with 4CPUs (i7-3700). My load average is .75 and 7% cpu...

THIS! Funding wanted features will keep ZoneMinder alive.

When linked monitors work, it's great. Unfortunately, they don't always work... dropped/missed events, etc. What I've done to 'replace' linked monitors is: use only RTSP cameras save events in Camera Passsthrough mode In camera Source, set resolution to 640x360 Motion detection happens at the 640x36...

So, I ended up going into the database and truncating all the Event tables, and that worked very well.

I then ran zmaudit and everything is cleared out.

If I turn on fast deletes, things start working from the GUI. zmaudit.pl still does nothing.

I recently moved ZoneMinder to a new machine. I copied of the database, but did not copy over any of the actual events. I just wanted all my zones to transfer. Once everything was up and running, I ran zmaudit.pl, thinking it would clear the database of the missing events. It didn't. Zoneminder stil...

I would switch to Postgres! Wouldn't the db on Postgress also contain the same update and insert triggers? Postgres is a true ACID compliant DB. MySQL is (in my opinion) a hack that kinda works. It wasn't even necessary when it was developed, since Postgres was already available and free and a true...
