Can only run 1 camera at a time

Post by dconroy82 »

I have had ZM running the past few days with my 1 IP camera connected, and working great.

I just tried to add a 2nd camera (IP Webcam running on an android phone). When I add it, the ip address shows as red, and in the log, I see lots of errors saying that zmc crashed, signal 134.

If I remove all the cameras, and add just the android/IPWebcam, it works fine. If I then add my original IP Camera, THAT fails with the signal 134/crashed error.

I tried a 2nd android phone too, and that will work by itself, but never alongside any other cameras.

Am I missing a setting here?

Thanks for any help,
Dan

No idea what you are running on but anytime someone says I can run x monitors add another and it crashes, it ends up being performance of some sort. Lower the fps coming from the cameras, and then also try lowering buffers in zm camera setup. Search and you will see threads about the same sort of stuff. Other option just upgrade the hardware.

That was it! I increased my VM to 4GB, and now all the cameras are working. Thanks again for the help.
