There is a weekend example here:
https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Filters
Note that the OR restarts the filter parameters, so you must be repeat everything. Keep it simple to save yourself headache.

Code: Select all

date/time greater than or equal to -1 minute AND
alarm frames greater than or equal to 1 AND
Weekday equal to Saturday OR
Weekday equal to Sunday AND
alarm frames greater than or equal to 1 AND
date/time greater than or equal to -1 minute
And

fastest way to test streams:
ffmpeg -i rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path ./output.mp4 (if terminal only)
ffplay rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path (gui)
find paths on ispydb or in zm hcl
