ERR [Unable to send stream frame: Broken pipe]

I am running Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS with zoneminder 1.25.0. Below are specs of the hardware I am running. About 20 times a day, and error will kick into the logs... " zms[30293]: ERR [Unable to send stream frame: Broken pipe] "

I think it is happening on random occasion when an event is triggered on that camera. It does not happen all the time, but just occasionally. I have seen it happen when trying to fix it, I walk out in front of the camera, and it triggers that error, and did not record the event in that case. I do not have a way of consistently proving that everytime it throws that error, though. Assuming it may not be recording when that happens, I would like to get to the root of the issue and fix it, so I do not miss an event. I am a little bit of a Linux novice, so more detail and commands help. Thanks!
