I think I have managed to answer my own question regarding "record" event durations.

First of all, under Options->Config->EVENT_CLOSE_MODE, must be selected to "time"

Second, under Monitor Source->Misc->Section Length defines the event length in seconds

Thank you. That's is very helpful. Now that I am tracking on this, I see a lot of threads on the forum where people struggle with this. With your latest recommendation and my reading on zone configuration I believe I can now work through this. While I'm trying to fine tune modect I thought I would ...

I believe I now do know what my issues are. One problem was that there is a ZM post that identifies the Foscam videostream.cgi parameters incorrectly. Based on this I thought I was passing a parameter to the camera asking for 3fps when it was 1fps. For the benefit of anyone else using Foscam cameras ...

Well, truth be told, I actually have two systems I'm working on, both running CentOS 6.2, ZM 1.25.0 and the same Foscam cameras, the first system has one camera and the second system has two cameras. On the system with one camera it was in "alarm" state. I changed the zone preset to "Fast High ...

I haven't attempted to change any of the default parameters other than those that seem needed to connect to each camera. The pre/post image counts are 10. I deleted the two cameras that I have setup. I recreated the first and gave it a unique zone. I then recreated the second and gave it a unique ...

It's not a browser caching issue because, where possible, I have my browsers set to clear cache on close. I have tested it with IE, FF, Opera, Chrome and Safari. I can still navigate, left, right pan works and I can "view" the timeline that is shown. RAND_STREAM is checked, it must install that way ...

I have changed the default paths and it does make for easier/few selinux issues. Curiously ZoneMinder does have some path references to /tmp/zm hard coded. I'm very familiar with selinux, it really is not that hard to configure to work with ZoneMinder. Anyway, that is a difference. I have built a ...

Something that doesn't add up for me is the "Linked Monitors" list under the camera configuration. When I bring up the monitor configuration, it always lists the name of the "other" camera. But if I shuffle through the tabs and back to the "General" tab the list then changes to show both camera ...

I'm using Foscam FI8918W's and "snapshot.cgi". I could not get "videostream.cgi" to work and I saw a post that recommending shapshot for Foscam cameras. I have a max and alarm frame rate of 3. I have not looked at the time it's freezing because I'm not seeing any errors in the log at all. On the ...

I have ZM 1.25.0 / CentOS 6.2 running with one camera on modect, it is basically working and the log is clean (no errors, no warnings, etc). Every few days the timeline view gets "stuck", it will show the timeline ending anywhere from a few hours to a day in the past. Yet I know from the Log that ...

I think this is all good discussion knnniggett, you provide well documented posts. Hopefully this thread and related cross-posts will help a lot of people. I am sooo temped to tweak the CentOS install Wiki, but since I'm still flattening my forehead on several other ZM issues, I hardly feel ...

I see there were a few follow up questions to my post regarding the compiling of ffmpeg. The ZoneMinder Wiki CentOS install instruction @ http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/CentOS says to: git clone git://git.videolan.org/ffmpeg.git If you are following the ZM Wiki CentOS instructions, my ...

I had the same issue with CentOS 6. Here is the link to my thread. http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=18950 My resolution post is as follows: ======================= With the help of knnniggett I was able to get a clean compile.

With the help of knnniggett I was able to get a clean compile. What I had to do was to get the matching version of ffmpeg, 6.5. After doing a git clone, I did "git checkout n0.6.5". Then I built ffmpeg and zm compiled just fine. It would seem that the instructions for compiling a particular version ...

Thank you. I have pulled down your RPM. As far as making ffmpeg goes. ffmpeg makes and installs find with all the libraries. As near as I can tell "make install-libs" is a subset of "make install". I did a "make install-libs", but that doesn't change the issue. I sifted through enough of zm_ffmpeg ...
