I think the problem is that the zmc process for the camera was often crashing during an event, causing the feed to be lost. After fixing a different problem in a different thread, it seems to have gone away. The solution, for anyone who might google this problem later: https://forums.zoneminder.com ...

Good news! I think I have figured it out. When I added the monitors to ZM, I used the ONVIF (whatever that means) detection thing. ZM set the cameras up with a url that looks like the following: rtsp://user:pass@address/onvif-media/media.amp?profile=profile_1_jpeg&sessiontimeout=60&streamtype ...

The cameras are in nodect mode. My understanding is that ZM is constantly grabbing images from the cameras in that mode so that when an event occurs, it already has a second or two of the video feed. That way you don't miss the beginning of a motion event. The camera isn't sending images to ZM, ZM ...

/dev/shm is at 32%, currently. Why would my UDP events mess anything up? The camera sends an event to start recording when it sees motion. When it doesn't see motion, it sends a stop event every 120 seconds. That way if ZM misses the first stop event for some reason, I won't end up with it recording ...

As for motion detection, I decided to let the cameras do it to take the load off the server. They seem to do a better job of it than ZM anyway. I no longer get events from rain falling, or changes in lighting. These cameras are about $700 each, so I am assuming their motion detection is pretty good ...

How do I check to see if I have a tmpfs issue? top is reporting just over half my memory is available. Switching it out of a VM is not currently an option. The zm server is also the database server.

I'm seeing a lot of errors in the logs while I am trying to debug my setup. Is this type of thing normal? I'm missing events and trying to figure out who to blame. I installed using the wiki instructions on a debian virtual machine with 8 cpus, 16gb of ram, and 9 1080p axis IP cameras streaming at ...

Bump, because it is still doing it. What is wrong with Zoneminder?

No one has any idea? I tried to export the event to video. The video was only 10 seconds of video, but played back so slow it took 21 seconds to play.

That's normal behavior. If you want it to save actual videos, I think you have to run the beta version and use x264 pass through.

The latest debian. I used the instructions to install it in the wiki. It's running in a VM. It has 9 Axis P1435 HD IP cameras. I gave it 8 cores, 16gb of RAM and a dedicated 5TB hard drive.

When playing back events, I am finding a lot of them stop playing before they reach the end. As an example, I have event 5459 today. It's duration is listed as 21 seconds long. If I watch it, it only plays for about 10 seconds. After that, the progress bar doesn't move and I can't click on it to ...

knnniggett thanks, that got me going. I had messed around with cameras a bit and deleted them, so my first id is 9. There is absolutely no mention of id being different than name, or where to get the id, in the documentation. They all just use an example of 1 with no explanation for it.

I have it running in nodect mode at the moment. Where do I get the id for each camera then?

I have Axis cameras and want to use their motion detection. I turned on OPT_TRIGGERS and rebooted just to be sure. ps aux shows that zmtrigger.pl is running. netstat shows perl is listening on 6802. If I connect via telnet to 6802 (via localhost) it seems to connect. I entered Purchasing|on+5|1|test ...
