Thanks again asker.

I went ahead and added this to the cron script that swaps between sunrise and sunset:

curl -XPUT -k https://127.0.0.1/zm/api/monitors/1.json -d "Monitor[AlarmFrameCount]=2"

This API stuff opens doors... really like it.

Ah, thanks for that clarification.

Is that variable one that gets saved with the "state"? I.E. something I can use during "sunset" mode only?

It would be great if that setting was per zone instead of per monitor.

I'm looking to do what this person asked 6 years ago: https://forums.zoneminder.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=15176 I live in an area where at night, the fog gets thick enough to cause mist to form. This looks like little flurries to the cameras and cause all kinds of spurious false alarms to trigger...

Nevermind, I was doing what the FAQ mentioned I shouldn't -- looped the monitors.

So, just to be clear, if I link Monitor1 to Monitor2, but not Monitor2 to Monitor1, the linking is really bidirectional anyway, correct? If Monitor2 triggers, it will record on Monitor1 too?

In setting up the ZoneAlarm, I ran into some errors in the beginning that I was able to fix. However, now the "log" link on the main console still shows red. I'd like to purge the log if possible to clear this. Clicking on log and clicking on "clear" wipes the website view of log...

I've got two cameras looking at my driveway from different angles. What I'd like is to record from both cameras any time there is an alarm from one of them. I thought the solution to this was to link the monitors for the different angles. So LeftGarage would link to RightGarage, and vice versa. It s...

I had some trouble with this myself, but eventually googled and found the right thing to do.

The path should be the full url ... I.E. rtsp://192.168.1.249.....

note that some urls have the username and password before the host so:
rtsp://username:password@192.168.1.249....

Okay, so I've got my setup working now, and the cpu usage is crazy high (5 cameras). Except for one camera, my cameras are all 1920x1080, color 24-bit rgb. They're ip with h264, so I'm using ffmpeg to process the rtsp streams. (Using "remote" resulting in a ton of errors in the logs about ...

That solved this issue.

Ah, I checked the /dev/shm folder and found that it was full. Gonna give the vm more ram.

Minimal install of CentOS 7 in a vm with two cpu's and 2GB of ram. Followed all instructions for getting ZoneMinder 1.29 installed. Added the first two cameras in monitor mode and can see their video through ZM. The third and fourth camera however will not load. the logs show the zmc processes for t...

Fascinating. No, there were no issues when the rpm installed itself (No reboots, no errors), and yeah, I tried uninstalling and re-installing. You can see in my previous post that it reported "Complete!", and again running the rpm verify command comes up clean. Only when I add the extra -v...

The fact that the files show as "not installed" instead of "missing" suggests there's some type of rpm install check that is gracefully failing, correct? The rpm install script is deciding not to install those files for some reason.

Per the dropdown instructions for CentOS 7 (https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/), I followed these instructions on a clean minimal install of CentOS 7: wget http://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/el/7/x86_64/zmrepo-7-6.el7.centos.noarch.rpm sudo yum install --nogpgcheck zmrepo-7-6.el7.centos.noarch.rpm sudo yum in...
