Thanks, I appreciate it. this is not a big concern for me, now that I know what to check if ZM starts acting weird.

Well, since FreeBSD is not Linux, it is definitely different from Linux. All of the base tools installed with the base OS are not GNU. Only add-in packages from ports may be GNU. For example the pkill in FreeBSD base is BSD licensed and has different switches than the pkill used in many Linux ...

For future me, and anyone else needing this info, make sure these services are up and running on the FreeBSD port:

• mysql-server
• fcgiwrap
• php_fpm
• nginx
• zoneminder

There should be one zmc process per enabled camera.

Thanks for the hints. I should have thought to check the process list myself. Doh! For clarity this is a FreeBSD 13.4-RELEASE system. I ran top and watched the www user processes, which is nginx and ZoneMinder, then stopped ZoneMinder and nginx. Imagine my surprise to find several ZoneMinder zombie ...

As I noted above, I did restart ZM. I just now did a full stop then start and am still getting this error: "2024/11/11 - 06:32:06 AKST",zmdc,,59498,ERR,"'zmc -m 1' exited abnormally, exit status 255",zmdc.pl,'- "2024/11/11 - 06:32:06 AKST",zmc_m1,,104839,ERR,"No monitors found",zmc.cpp,214 "2024/11 ...

Unfortunately nothing I did would fix the doubling of events. So I deleted Monitor-1 to recreate the camera setup again with a new Monitor, but now my log is filling up with an error about monitor 1, which of course no longer exists: "2024/11/10 - 11:04:36 AKST",zmdc,,59498,ERR,"'zmc -m 1' exited ...

Thanks for the reply! I decreased the key frame interval on the camera to match the frame rate. It was larger than the maximum frame rate, which may mean you have a good point here. I will report back.

Before you ask, here are the zones.

Here is the console.

I am not sure what I have done to get this result, but each of my modect events are storing twice under my new storage location. Where do I need to look to fix this?

Hello folks. I just got back into ZoneMinder in the past two weeks from the date on this post. I am running it on my soon to be retired 2010 built home server with FreeBSD 13.4-RELEASE. I want to get some new hardware to move my disks over, but that will have to wait until after the end of 2024 ...

A bit of follow-up. I have two of the SV3C HX04 PTZ cameras. It had been a few years since I last touched a ZM system, so I made a few mistakes setting up these cameras. They are purely wireless connected and are mounted on the front and back of my house. Problem 1: I had the frame rate much too ...

Okay, yeah, that looks normal. Since you have its perms at drwxrwxrwx, can your normal user account write to that mounted storage directory? Meaning whatever you login as that is not root. Oh, and I am presuming ZoneMinder is running as the www-data user too. Here it is running as the www user and ...

I understand that is in your /etc/fstab. Regardless, what does the mount command show for that mount point when you run it?
