Thanks! I'll try this soon when I get time. I did search for how to reset ZM database but wasn't finding this in my searches.

Thanks, i'll try that!

Is there a way to reset the database to defaults? My import attempts screwed something up and now I can't even add cameras manually.

I'm trying to do the import avoiding phpMyAdmin. So I used the following command to export: mysqldump -u root -p zm Monitors > /var/www/monitors.sql Then I used WinSCP to grab the file and uploaded it to my new ZM server in /var/tmp. I use the following command to import: mysqlimport -u root -p zm ...

So I'd like to use phpMyAdmin to export and import the Monitors from one ZM server to another. They are both running 1.36.33

What custom settings should I do for the export and subsequent import?

So I can't seem to get another hard drive added without ubuntu crashing on boot and going into intramfs. I have the correct UUID so I'm not sure what is going on, but when I exclude it from the fstab then it boots fine. At this point I'm back to my original desire, to export the 133 cameras I have ...

Thanks for the responses... I just came back to check and sounds like that is what I should do rather than build a new system. I think if I just add another storage disk and format it, then it should show up in ZM right? I can just switch each camera to the new storage? What will happen with the old ...

I needed less RAM and didn't want to mess with the some of the config that ubuntu does depending on how much RAM is installed. Just thought it would be cleaner.... but I guess I could just mount a new RDM disk to the VM, format it, and start recording events there. I don't know if I can keep the old ...

I have a 1.36 ZM on Ubuntu server 22.04.2 inside a VMware VM. Runs great... but I way over estimated RAM and storage needs. I built a new VM to fit better and used phpmyadmin web to export the Monitors to a SQL file. When I try to import the Monitors file on the new ZM (all same versions) it fails ...

Thanks for the thoughts... you're probably right about overthinking things. I'll report back how things turn out in a few weeks once i've had time to actually get a vNVR up and running. As for being on 1.28... oh yeah, I developed an imaging process with a template to make it easy for us and it was ...

Hi Andyrh and thanks for responding. Not sure what you mean by information, other than what the product documentation states; I haven't done any testing. I have four 10Gbit Ethernet connections per VMware host, but only two of four are active I/O, so in theory VM's should get up to a max of 20 Gbit ...

For years, we've been running eight custom built servers running ZM 1.28.1 on Ubuntu server 12.04. Each server has 14-20 cameras on each recording at 720p or 1080p 5 fps in MJPEG and this gets us at our required 30 days of retention for our ~130 Axis IP cameras; and this has served us quite well but ...

Ok... guess that takes care of that. Thanks for the info.

In the past, I used phpmyadmin to "repair" the ZM database after having to manually delete events/frames. For some reason in my install on Ubunutu 14 the repair option doesn't work in phpmyadmin. If I try to run it I get "The storage engine for the dable doesn't support r..." I'm assuming ...repair ...

Hey I was just asking if anyone is using these, that's all... I don't question if they will work with ZM much, I just want to hear opinions and facts on how well they work as an outdoor thermal camera. I've done tons of searching on the net and haven't found any discussions about them so I may just ...

I'm thinking of buying four of the FLIR TCX thermal cameras. They are about $450 each with either 25 or 50 degree FOV. Resolution is really low... but i'm covering a small area so that shouldn't be much of an issue. Thermal is for detection and not identification anyhow.

Thanks.
