Add event columns for easier filter creation

Post by dthomas0424 »

Hi,

I have been using other windows based security camera systems and recently switched to ZM. I would like a way to filter events based on the length of time that they have been in existence. If this was available I could create a filter to (for example) delete any events for a certain monitor or storage area that are greater than 365 days or greater than 12 months or greater than well.......any given time frame. I have found that so far I can only specify a certain calendar date/time to do this.

Thank you.

See https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/la ... te-strings
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
