What Governs Behavior of Event Close Mode "System"?

How does Event Close Mode "System" work?

What governs the length of recorded segments in "System" mode?

Thank you

Re: Down on my knees, begging you please: Stop mangling rtsp requests.

Right. This is a new misfeature. Prior to this install I think I was as high as 1.37.45 and I don't think it was doing this. Or maybe i didn't notice. My Tapo C320SW cams can handle the reconstruction, but I'm having great difficulty with my RTSP enabled Wyze V3 cams. You can view them just fine in ...

View snaps down from full screen after each gapless event (Solved)

Runnimg 1.37.65 under UB 24.04.1 I Haven't noticed this in previous releases. If I set to view gapless events, and expand to view an event in "full screen," when that event finishes the next event starts playing in the reduced screen size. So I constantly have to hit the full screen button and quite ...

Down on my knees, begging you please: Stop mangling rtsp requests.

From a user perspective rtsp addresses are being parsed, mangled, and re-written on the fly within ZM. Don't do this. Ultimately this offers a grave opportunity for finger-pointing. The user says, "I tried typing in the rtsp address just like it said in the docs but ZONEMINDER WOULDN'T LET ME!" For ...

Strange prejudice against monitor 1 in 1.37.65 /24.04.1 (with work around)

So here's a weird thing. I have 5 tapo C320WS cams I'm using via rtsp. The first camera I set up had strange symptoms: in particular it showed as "not capturing" or even "offline" despite the fact that it seemed to be capturing and otherwise working just fine. On whim i cloned it to another camera ...

Oohhh... Please Expose "Clone Monitor"" Button (Greyed?) on "Console" By Default! (TL;DR)

Think tongue in cheek. It's like sarcasm without all that sarcasm. I've suffered at least 10 discussions about presets, configs, cloning , monitors, id's, copying ,dumping and zmcamtool.pl... At least 3 or 4 times over at least 5 years.... When the answer to my question and perhaps %80 of others ...

Wyze Cam V3 RTSP Update: Mostly a mess: FFMPEG artifacts, libvlc doesn't work, VLC app works

Hi,

Installed Wyze V3 RTSP software. Getting artifacts on motion using FFMEG. libvlc shows blank/no image, but standalone VLC works fine.

Followed a few recipes, mostly for Wyze V2, no luck.

Suggestions? Success stories?

Thinking of loading 3rd party firmware. Any experience?

Hi, running 1.30.4 on Ubuntu Bionic 18.04. Want to move to 1.32.3 for storage areas and h.264/h.265 containers. Viewed the release notes but they are more descriptive than prescriptive. Noticing lots of people have issues after upgrade. But of course people only post questions when they have issues ...

Re: Storage Geodiversity Soln. Sought for Zoneminder: RSYNC? Cloud? RAID over IP?

Uh, actually I'm waffling on the issue. DRDB seems complicated and as you say probably won't work well,. I think I'll stabilize 1.30.4 on my "primary" machine, and start experimenting with 1.31.x on the "mirror". My friends are starting to look at me sideways for having spent so much time on ZM and ...

Looking into drbd now. Don't have the guts to mess w/1.31.x yet. I'll let you know how it goes (not well I suspect).

Re: How, which view, can I see alarmed pixels highlighted in real time?

Hmmm, must have been a distant memory either from a standalone (ie: Zmodo) SVR or, more likely, from the Windows "equivalent" of ZM (forget the name).

Thanks again!

OK, I'll look into those and finally look into 1.31.x as well.

Re: How best to reboot or power off Zoneminder servers quickly and gracefully?

Thanks bbunge, yeah I more or less figured that out a day or two after posting. What had me fooled was that merely shutting down ZM via "service" seemed to take longer than a "reboot", so I assumed reboot was shutting down ungracefully. I think more the truth is that shuttinng down ZM via service ...
