That's correct...I see the webcam video stream using the cam's webgui with no issues. The webcam never stops transmitting the video stream. The problem is ZoneMinder somehow stops displaying the stream for some reason. I'm not looking for ZoneMinder to restart the camera, I'm looking for ZoneMinder ...

Interestingly, I was able to log into the webcam itself and see the video feed. It's when I tried to use ZoneMinder to view the video feed that I wasn't able to see it. I figured it was something in ZoneMinder that dropped the video feed from the webcam somehow. I think we are referencing the same ...

Oh no...that's too bad. Turning the cams on and off are the best solution for me right now. Until I can get to a place where I can actually use Run States, I'm not sure how to proceed. Is there a way to make a ZoneMinder development request by chance? Maybe ZoneMinder can be developed that when it ...

Yes, all my webcams are connected using Remote. Yes, the Source first turns green after saving; when it's green, I can use ZoneMinder to view the video feed. If i click Refresh, the webcam's Source goes to red. However, when I log in directly to the webcam, even though the ZoneMinder Source is red ...

bbunge...I presently have 32 Gig of memory in my server. On the ZoneMinder console display in the upper right, I have never seen the /dev/shm even reach 20% with all of my webcams entered; with just three webcams, the webcams not even powered on, the /dev/shm is at 10%.

Pedulla...When I first setup my webcams, I do it wired, so no issues there. The model is a Sharx SCNC2900 series webcam. The ZoneMinder version is 1.30.4. The OS I use to access the Ubuntu Server that ZoneMinder is installed on is typically macOS Sierra but I can, and sometimes do, use Linux ...

I'm slowly adding my wireless webcams to ZoneMinder. When I added my 4th webcam, which is setup just like my other identical cams - vice IP, etc..., ZoneMinder doesn't display the video. As well, the IP address in the console's Source column remains the color red. I'm not quite sure why this is ...

I'll try option #2; I don't want ZoneMinder recording continuously filling up my hard drive using record or mocord. I just want it to record for 20 to 30 seconds once motion is detected. I'll initially try setting the Post Event Image Count to 600 and see where that puts me on recording time average ...

The recording Function I have set in the cam's General tab is: Modect

It is nice for those that have a common interest offer a little help. So, increasing the Section length to 900 doesn't appear to have helped increase the record time to be between 20 and 30 seconds. At the console, when I click on a number in the Events column for a webcam, the Frames column in the ...

I've read a lot of the user guide and have done targeted searches in the user guide but missed that part. Thank you for the reply. I've changed the Image Buffer Size (frames) back to its default value of 50. I've increased the Section Length to 900. I'll check to see if this increases the recording ...

ZoneMinder may not be a high definition production system, however, it does a really good job of recording the 1280x720 video at a pretty good frame rate, not 30fps, but pretty good none-the-less :D . I'm just looking for the setting to increase the recording length to be between 20 and 30 seconds ...

Hello...I would like ZoneMinder to record 20 to 30 seconds of 1280x720 video at 30 frames per second; my Sharx wireless webcams support this. In the Buffers tab for each webcam I've configured, the Image Buffer Size (frames) is set to a default value of 50. I have been changing the Image Buffer Size ...

Hello...If your webcams are off and your ZoneMinder server on, does it normally take a few minutes for ZoneMinder to "find" the webcams and show them as green in the source column?

Hello...Is there a way to entirely clear ZoneMinder's log? Thank you.
