Thanks. I updated the https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ffmpeg wiki. Note the example I gave wasn't for _video_ as such, as my cameras give not-very-compliant MJPEG-in-a-HTTP-encoded-stream-of-JPEG which is horrid. I need a filter programme which strips the rubbish and passes just the JPEG stream to ...

Just tried this for my cameras, using the still image output. They don't provide compliant MJPEG output (it's all framed in HTTP responses that need stripping out, so FFMPEG hates them). However, the principle is the same for video ... /usr/local/src/ffmpeg-3.2.14/ffmpeg -y -i http://cam01/image.jpg ...

Hello, Hello, I'm new to ZoneMinder 1.36.x, I see how to add cameras and how to get individual cameras as a re-encoded stream. But I'm looking to make a quad view of four IP cameras and have that as a single motion jpeg stream. Is that possible with ZoneMinder? I don't know if ZM can do this, but ...

If the camera can stream continuosly, it can work. I don't think such a thing exists "off the shelf" due to low battery capacity. AFAIK, you'd need to add your own battery/solar array to get that capacity, which means you don't need the camera itself to be battery. I don't know if ZM would/could ...

32-bit color depth, the CPU load is lower compared to setting the stream to 24-bit at the same resolution. I don’t quite understand this, as the data stream should be smaller with 24-bit than with 32-bit. This bit does make sense, from a programming point of view, to me. Not specific to ZM either! ...

Classic "syslog" does this, for some errors/warnings: "Last message repeated n times" -- it does indeed clear up the logs!

I do not know if these logs are normal. 3/6/25, 2:11:24 AM EST zmc_m1 1119 WAR non increasing dts, fixing. our dts 8809372 stream 0 last_dts 8860478 last_duration 6000. reorder_queue_size=0 zm_videostore.cpp 1458 Ignore those -- they are WARnings. They indicate the camera's video feed isn't ...

Now, ZoneMinder have this timestamps, which are shown correctly but in my case I cannot see it on recorded videos (are passtrough method) Maybe is by design or not adding processing on top. By design ... passthrough sends the video stream from the camera, untouched, into a file. To add a timestamp ...

/dev/sda1 1.8T 40K 1.7T 1% /media/fairfacts/zonedata <- the 2 TB attached drive I have tried dev/sda/sda1 and variants of te path and none seem to work Further note: The df-h/mount line looks ok. /dev/sda is "the whole disk" including the partition table, don't try and mount that, it probably won't ...

Have tried to make sure its not rights: sudo chmod 755 /media/fairfacts/zonedata /media/fairfacts/zonedata/events Not entirely sure, but that line may not be correct. On a directory, 7 is read-write-enter for "the user" that owns it. From your sudo, that looks like root may own it. You then only ...

I am a bit old school and run a swap equal to or greater than the installed RAM. Me too. Not just because I'm old-school, but you suddenly discover that "suspend to DISK" relies on a swap file/partition that is larger than installed RAM. No swap? No working! Small swap? Serves you right for ...

Getting frustrated with how many changes regarding networking management etc. (No Ifconfig?) HAvent messed with Linux in a few years or decades? :) I know the feeling. All the tools that existed and worked need to be deprecated, thrown out, re-written, because "new and different" is better. A lot ...

Sounds like you might be missing some of the apache web server environment. Is apache installed at all? I tried a2enconf on this Ubuntu laptop, which has no ZM related stuff on ... Command 'a2enconf' not found, but can be installed with: apt install apache2 Seems like it's not a ZM script/binary ...

reformatted both drives. So, I learned the UUIDs come from formatting and/or partitioning. They are not baked in like a MAC address. Ah, good that you found it! The physical drive has a SERIAL number (you can see this in 'smartctl -a /dev/sdX') which should be unique across the manufacturer's run ...

Has something eaten your cookies?

Browser security been changed to "be more annoying" recently, leading to cookies being blocked/deleted?

I arrived here today without needing to explicitly log in, so working for me, if that helps!
