For some reason, the API does not seem to work for me. I have tried following instructions from various places, including downloading 'crud' and copying it into the ZM web tree. curl -XPOST -d "user=admin&pass=blah" http://localhost/zm/api/host/getVersion.json 404, not found. I have go...

Clicking on a cameras event numbers for today, I see a nice list of events. However, if I click the Hide/Show Pagination option, I get told "Loading, Please wait", the events never show up. If I click Hide/Show pagination again, they show. It appears to be stuck only when the pagination is...

I have tried this too.
I selected 2 events from a list. Both events were archived.

Zoneminder v1.37.1 on Gentoo Linux.

Archive (tar), that was generated attached.

Ok, I have a filter which Messages, Emails and Archives events. I am under the impression that archived events cannot be deleted, that events have to be unarchived so they can be deleted. If this is not the case, then stop reading here. I notice there is a purge filter, which uses the 'delete all ma...

My point regarding the disabled check box is that you could disable the filter whilst retaining the Background/concurrent settings. Maybe it's as simple as renaming 'Background' to "Enabled". Background is sort of 'techy', after all. Whilst concurrent, I am sort of confused as to why that ...

I will see how I go, as I am a Gentoo user and reliant on whoever makes the ebuild to update. I may look into copying the ebuild into my local repository and updating it for new releases, so long as the build/install process doesn't change, I should be right. I appreciate your promptness and I apolo...

Awesome, such a quick reply.
So, locking is not the issue. I will tweak the filters.
Thanks!

I noticed my syslog suddenly scrolling by. It appears there is some sort of issue with ZM and the database. I suspect it is driven by the fact that I have a concurrent filter which deletes events if they are less than 50 alarm frames. I never understood why 'Lock rows' was needed, is this a case whe...

Curiously, lightning only triggered a blob on a small part of the whole picture, primarily a reflection off the wet ground. So far, I have not managed to get a significant area to be alarmed, so I feel that the max alarm area really doesn't come in to my triggering. My issue was that it was a single...

Sort of worked around this, can't really say problem is solved, as lightning doesn't happen that often. However, my e-mailing concurrent and background filter, simply said, only send if more than 50 alarm frames (30 fps camera). Seems to do the job, not crowding my mailbox. I setup another backgroun...

Only the Skip back <- and Skip forward -> buttons work for me.

Pause, play, rewind, fast forward, and playback speed, all do not work when reviewing an event.

I think I might have found a parameter that affects this.
In the Camera settings, not the zone settings.
Blendage.
Fiddling with the blendage parameters seems to help.

I notice this whilst trying to configure my zone, I really don't understand how the blobs are found, because the outlines that are shown are generally only part of the whole. The following image show my zone configuration ZoneConfiguration.jpg The following image shows me walking around the yard, I ...

In the filter definition screen, the dropdown selects a filter which is then updated. The delete button does not work. A workaround is to simply make the filter do nothing, which, is sub-optimal. The way I deleted a filter was to blow the filter row away in the ZoneMinder database table 'Filters' us...

We had a thunderstorm today and ZoneMinder fired off an event on a lightning flash. The event had two alarm images, the first of which I have shown here. 2/3 of second later, another lightning flash, which also alarmed. (12 frames). Both within the same event. Note, in the screen capture, below, I h...
