How to use Linked Monitors in Zoneminder?

Post by kleber.martir »

Hello everyone, I'm new here, I'm talking from Brazil :D
I'm using Zoneminder with a camera in 'nodect' mode and now I want to add another, but I want it so that when the first one receives an alarm, it immediately activates the other camera. Using the "Linked Monitors" option, I believe it can be done, but I can't configure it, it shows the error "Can't link to monitor 2, invalid id, function or not enabled" on Log . The settings I placed in the “general” menu are:

source type: ffmpeg
decoding enabled: yes
linked monitors: camera 1 (I selected it)

on the other camera the settings are the same, you just didn't enter anything in the linked monitors option.

Thank you all in advance!

Welcome to ZoneMinder and its nice to hear from you in Brazil.

It sounds like you need camera 1 in Modect with analysis enabled. Then you can link camera 2 in Nodect mode.
