Hi, After a lot of testing I am sure it's not a browser issue. Even when having 2 computers watch a single live stream I get problems. The logfiles just tell me a lot of rtsp errors, but this is "normal"... (error decoding frame, etc) Just now I am sitting on my PC and on my Laptop trying just ...

Hi, thanks for the response. I am running Ubuntu, Linux ZM 3.16.0-45-generic #60~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 24 21:16:23 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux with an i3 and 8GB RAM. For testing I had it running with more cameras, so I don't think memory is the issue, because normally when there is ...

Hi, I am running Zoneminder 1.28.100 now and I am very pleased with this version! It runs really nice, except my problem: When only I watch the live stream on single monitors or montage, everything is ok. When 2 people watch or I have the montage open and click on a monitor to see full screen ...

Possible? Sure. You just have to take care of the bandwidth limitations yourself.

With a VGA camera and 1fps you might get lucky... some jpeg compression obviously needs to kick in.

But if you want to use a HD camera you are going to have a bad time with bandwidth.

Camera connected over 3G? No, you can't. At least not without a vpn connection. Problem is, 3G connections are usually behind a NAT so you can't access your WAN IP on 3G from outside. It's like a router at home where you can't do a port forward. I solved this problem in my garage with a raspberry pi ...

About memory: I ran into issues with 7 cameras @ 1080p resolution and 4GB RAM. After adding another 4GB I could use more than 7 cameras.

Keep in mind:

Doing motion detection on a 720p camera the Pi2 is busy...a lot! U should use a very fast microSD card for it.

Oh, it was Raspbian. So debian, not ubuntu.

I believe it was just "apt-get install zoneminder" on ubuntu. After this you just need "ln -s /etc/zm/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/zoneminder.conf" and restart apache2.

Ok, nevermind... I got it.

Just set "$scale" in the views folder to 75.

Uncomment lines 80-83 and add "$scale = 75;" in a new line under this.

Hi,

I like the Zoneminder mobile skin, but the live view lacks resolution... how can I change this? I couldn't find it anywhere in the options...

I am running 1080p cameras and currently on mobile I can't really see a thing.


Thanks in advance.

I have these problems on Internet Explorer. Try chrome or firefox, worked for me. Don't think it's an upstream issue.

A friend is running 9x 1080p cameras with ~1mbit upstream I can see the livestream or recorded events. But it's not extremely fast.

Hi,

I compiled it but it didn't work properly... I just gut error messages that zm capture deamon crashed. So I installed "good old" 1.25 and it is working fine with one 720p IP camera over mjpeg. Unfortunately 1080p didn't work.

Hi, I'm using zoneminder for some time now and love it, but have recently bought some chinese (hi3518) IP cameras with 720 and 1080p but it only works partially with zoneminder. I finally got it working with ffmpeg and added the rtsp:// url to the path, which works normally fine, modect detects ...
