Hi i have a new Camera with 2592 x 1944 pixels. In the Monitor i see no video. I use the RTSP Stream. When i reduce the Resolution to 1920 x 1080 it works. Whats the problem? RAM size of the Raspberry? Did i need a Raspberry 4 with 4GB RAM? Best Regards Werner I've read all the previous posts here ...

We have 10 cams, set for modect and we often get well over 1000 events per day. On my system we have OPT_FAST_DELETE set and AUDIT_CHECK_INTERVAL set to 3600 (1 hour), rather than the default 900 (15min). So far, the 3600 setting allows way more than enough time to zm_audit to do its thing. In ...

Best and simplest next step is to pull out the 16gb of memory you added and re-test. If the cpu load goes back to what it typically was before the memory upgrade then it's probably memory related. But if the performance remains as it was post-upgrade - or worse - then something related to the ...

I use 1.30.4, but I've been watching user posts on 1.32 to see how the release is doing. Looking at the metrics in your post, I think the memory utilization numbers for zma vs zmc provide an important clue too. Basically, zma is using over 4x the memory of zmc. Why?? I doubt it's audio because audio ...

I looked at the log he posted a link to. Some cams are webcams or via capture card. Some are IP cams. He's having probs with an IP cam. Looking at the log he posted, that cam never worked.

The image is not displaying like the others above. How about you just describe the issue? "Got empty memory map file size 0, is the zmc process for this monitor running?" and "can't find process with command 'zma -m 2' " These are the errors I'm getting. The "zma -m 2" indicates monitor 2 having a ...

... Haven't you a new idea why Linux is trying to enumerate all the features on the BRIX motherboard ? It's normal for Linux to enumerate the motherboard on boot. It does this to probe the motherboard and figure out what kernel modules to load and what kernel settings/modes to set that (hopefully ...

To look at your log file I had to download it. So, you have ZM running on Ubuntu on a Gigabyte BRIX GB-BXBT-1900 (basically, a SFF PC). Your log (it's BIG) seems to show ZM running OK - I saw no sign of any serious errors. No sign of a Linux crash or panic in the log. It appears the system just ...

You don't provide much information, but I'll give some feedback based on your pics. Since you are using /dev/video0 as the source it implies /dev/video0 actually exists, you are using an analog camera and analog capture card/device. If you get any of the card/device settings or monitor settings ...

I've stopped logging to the web gui and the db; now it works without crashing, and when it does, it restarts without doing anything Your comment reminded me that I had to do the same sort of thing. My initial ZM 1.30.4 (on Ubuntu 18.04) setup ran fairly well at first with just one cam with logging ...

Pixelation can happen if there are constraints on the stream. For example: relatively high frame rate for the resolution, color depth for a given bitrate. If the bitrate is set too low for the resolution+bit_depth+frame_rate, the encoder will still do its best to comply but pixelation/blocking can ...

My Ubuntu 18.04 ZM server (1.30.4) has a fairly low-end Nvidia GT-730 graphics card - but its gpu does support h264 encoding. The version of ffmpeg in the 18.04 repo supports h264_nvenc. So, I offload h264 video creation to the GT-730's gpu with this FFMPEG_OUTPUT_OPTIONS setting: -threads 4 -c:v ...

I have version 1.30.4 and the same problem. Is now a solution available? I run 1.30.4 (Linux). Console bandwidth default can be set per user account. Go into "Options", click on "Users". The "Bandwidth" default setting is the second to the last. Just click on the associated dropdown & select what ...

It is indeed hard to give a general answer, because "object recognition" implementations/goals vary widely. To recognize license plates reliably, you need excellent camera placement. Cams used for this typically have a good varifocal (variable focal length) lens, WDR and resolution that fits the ...
