It's better to set the FPS in the camera (if option is available) and leave the max FPS settings blank in Zoneminder. This avoids skipping frames.

Well, Rpi + 5 Axis 210 cams... I do not see it, you may need a powerful device. It will work on your Xubuntu setup is you have at least 2Gigs of RAM, I will go for this option. My guess is that a device like a RPi does not have enough CPU power nor RAM to handle this configuration you are suggesting...

If you could get the static image you could use your camera in Zoneminder, if fact, it will save some CPU, as the ffmpeg will not need to decode the frames. Give it a try.

Hope it helps,

The search option of the forum could help you...

Note that you will get a performance boost if you change to 32bit colorspace. Wow, not only an improvement in the performance, the image quality (at least in my cameras) is way better after switching to 32bits from 24bits. I'm impresses, every day I learn something in this forum! Thanks a lot, PacoLM

@PacoLM I found that the Hiawatha set up consumes slightly less CPU cycles then Apache. Big difference is the ease of configuration and security. I can write up the steps to install, the trick is in the configuration but it actually is not that involved to get it going. What functions have not work...

Well, this could be a sign that the active users are more proactive to install upgrades and the users with a stable 1.25 working server does not visit the forum that often.

I would add the option "I already upgraded to 1.29"....

Regards, thanks and good job!

Good to hear that you solved your problem!

PacoLM....I took your advice and tried ffmpeg. While I could not find "ffmpeg", I was able to find "avconv". I set the flags you recommended accordingly. I now get a completely blue screen for the monitor and the string "Unable to open input 192.168.0.xx:xxx/profile5/media....
