Hi sagil! For a video surveillance it is enough to have < 10 FPS. As you can see from ffplay log, Rockedge was right. Bad RTP stream, a lot of missed packets, quite a bit of >10 missed packets in sequence. Try with lower FPS, except you have fast moving targets (car plates recognition). When errors ...

1st update. I've changed ZM mode to 'monitor' instead of 'modect'. In addition, I've lowered the 'Maximum FPS' to 25 (from 35) On buffers tab I've lowered 'Image Buffer Size' to 100 Warmup Frames to 25 Pre Event Image Count to 50 Post Event Image Count to 250 Stream Replay Image Buffer to 250 Here ...

I have ZM-1.30.0 on Debian and today: uptime = 13:16:37 up 330 days, 18:05 Since I solved cameras issues this is "set and forget" system, rock solid. I only watch some recorded events occasionally. The most "work" regardless the whole system is cleaning camera lenses off spider's webs. :D Haha, I ...

Sorry for an unclear advice regarding VLC. With the settings you used in ZM try to watch video with VLC or ffplay: For instance: ffplay.exe rtsp://admin:PASSWORD@Camera1_IP/0 -rtsp_transport tcp and the other camera: ffplay.exe "rtsp://admin:PASSWORD@Camera2_IP/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0 ...

"time since last capture 13 seconds" - it's obvious, that camera failed, not ZM. I had similar problems with my camera. Cameras are very sensible on stream capture settings. I own two cameras and works perfectly with "source type = ffmpeg" the other one worked a few hours, then started to drop ...

Try ...

is the camera causing this error? I had some cheap HOOTOO IP cams, a Chinese knock off of a FOSCAM, that would run after powering them up and ZM would stream them nicely. Then began the same type of zmc crashing and restarting...... I had to restart or re-save the cameras or power off and on the ...

I have 1 monitor defined After running for several hours, ZM just crash and keeps crashing every 10 seconds I'm running on Ubuntu 16 Output on 'good flow' : Jan 28 10:58:23 media-pc zmc_m1[19700]: INF [Monitor-1: 2662000 - Capturing at 20.00 fps] Jan 28 10:59:04 media-pc zma_m1[17679]: INF [Monitor ...

@sagil I recently updated to 1.30.4 and now realize what you mentioned about the different settings screen. How has your experience been with 1.30 and could you share your configuration, including the PATH_ZMS? Hi ! I used 'Ffmpeg', remote method is 'TCP' and used the full URL : rtsp://192.168.0 ...

Actually this part is already done, I'm using Tasker to arm/disarm the monitor using its API and it works great.
The problem is when I leave the house but it's not yet empty,

That's my goal.
i.e. script that checks if someone at home (by ping to its mobile device or any other way) before sending movement email

But this won't be a consition for the filter actions, they will be done anyway+ script, I need the script to be a consition for the filter actions

I want to add a 'custom condition' to a filter (running a script/app and check its exit code)
Is it possible ?

Thanks

OK I got the issue,
I followed the installation instructions for version 1.29 and not 1.30 so I didn't do the PATH_ZMS part.
As I did this the CGI path was corrected and everything is working !
Thank you for your assistance !

I have tried configuring the same camera, but it looks a bit different (the "Remote Method" has different options) It looks like the motion events are detected and the camera is successfully connected, but I cant see any image. On VLC everything works great. I have attached my configuration, I've ...
