New ZM install v1.32.3 record/mocord write few seconds only

[Silvergo]

Hello all,
I'm new to ZM.

I installed ZM v1.32.3 on Ubuntu 18.04 by ppa, following the installation instructions at the page https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/st ... buntu.html

I have one camera set as mocord at the moment: dahua https://uk.dahuasecurity.com/it/product ... tail/14401
The installation seems to be running fine, except for a strange problem: all events recorded (one every 600 secs) are 10-11 secs of time length.
I tried to lowering the resolution, color bits, fps; also I tried on the secondary substream and change from mocord to record. Same result.
At the moment I need record only.
The camera is working now at 15 fps. ZM in the events page shows the correct frame number (9000) for every event.

So I searched into the logs. I found many errors like this:

The secondary stream was set with no audio. So I tried to set it with AAC coded. Nothing changed.
Then I tried to manual record the tream with the following command

ffmpeg -i "rtsp://<IPCAM>/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=2" -vcodec copy -acodec copy a.mp4

(with and without audio enabled)

This ffmpeg write the file with no errors.

My setup:
Ubuntu 18.04
4 core
6GB RAM
1 IP cam 1920x1080 @15fps


What I can try to solve?

Thank you in advance Guys.

You need to follow the install instructions here: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Serv ... e_easy_way

Dear bbunge, you are right.

I installed Ubuntu 18.04 LEMP (NGNIX, Mariadb, PHP) on a wiki basis. Now it is working (two cams).

BTW The only strange thing I noticed is the Hour column in the Log web page; its shows six events, correctly. But the page shows a blank 0 events page everytime it is called. The day,week,month columns work flawlessy. This is a minor problem anyway.

Thank you very much.

Best regards
