if it's an NTSC cam for example it's interlaced anyways, so every capture you get has only 260 lines (then it's called a 'field a' or 'field b', and two of those together make a frame) - unless your driver has already de-interlaced the picture and then you'll get the 520 lines usually though the fir...

guess the cam is somehow similar to the BLC1, look at my post at http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15406 also check your shared memory settings - typically if the allocated memory is too small it works for a few seconds till the mem is full and then malfunctions - sometimes even witho...

wind can be indeed a factor in wireless swaying trees, leafes, signs, powerlines, debris etc can all reflect/dampen the 2.4GHz waves from your wifi and since the timing is critical even a small distortion might disrupt it you might try to play with the antennas - i had to boost mine a bit - and remo...

install wireshark or any other packet capturing program and look what's going on

especially with wifi problems you are able to see what/how many packets are truncated or have a wrong crc etc

for whatever reason the ONLY FF version that works for me with ALL menus/windows/controls reliably was 3.0.7

you can use 307 just for ZM and don't care about the security/update issues, and have another FF for the web access

i had lots of sock problems and the weird errors 'require once' etc

that's how i got rid of them - change stream.php

don't do the 's.sock' change though, that broke the progress bars!

i have 11 of them on one ZM 1242 server - here's some info ==> zoneminder config: source=remote proto=http method=simple hostname= username:password@aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd (user/pass AND the cams IP ) NOTE: you don't need the "HTTP://" because you already did in the protocol setting!!! port=80 (d...

another probable cause: my clock skew (difference between software/hardware/"realtime") was about 30 sec per day - might be a very slow disk that's getting hammered by ZM, the MB is OK and runs for weeks w/o problems (w/o ZM or different OS) anyways a few days ago i finally set up a cronjo...

a lot of my capture / analysis restarts went away after lowering the capture framerate it seems ZM does NOT like late frames and the whole timing "goes crazy" "late frames" in my case happened mostly at night when my IPcams are very slow (less than half the framerate compared to ...

interestingly i saw the increase in allocated memory right after the buffer size increase with "ipcs -m" (going bigger than ever before) of course that change did force zmc to restart, and that's when it starts useing the memory do a "watch ipcs -l" and see how it changes! EDIT i...

i think zma does the check IF a frame is blank - if you change the options/config/SIGNAL_CHECK_POINTS number i see a difference in how much cpu it is useing, though very little while you are only recording BTW that makes me wonder why JPGs must be recompressed before they are saved - why can't you j...

try changing the settings in options/high bandwidth/WEB_H_VIDEO_BITRATE and see what/if you get a change, those are the input parameters for ffmpeg afaik possible your ffmpeg doesn't work right, yet i think bluecherry does great work usually how much bandwidth do you have/want? thru a WAN it's diffi...

"my math" tells me it's about 900kByte per frame 640 x 480 = 307200 pixel times 24 = 7372800 bits devided by 8 = 921600 byte (since there are 8 bits per byte (where i live)) anyways too big to stream - jpg compression can cut it down to 50-70kbyte per frame in good quality looks like you u...

BTW i just observed such an event: it starts with zmaudit running and deleting events (which are in my case 900 frames each) top on the terminal tells me 'rm' is running wild, idle is zero % and WA (=iowait) is over 50% at some point mysqld kicks in to clean up the database, and ZMA complains about ...

sorry then i misunderstood your problem ... was a long day ... you write about useing port 800 - a privileged port maybe FF runs in a different securitysetup than IE and has no access to those ports? could you post the code around "line 1343" so we could look at it to see what else is invo...
