I dont think arcaic0 gave this release enough evaluation time. Having eventually given in to the nag-box reminder to upgrade and gone from 1.32 to 1.34.16 I can see a much better product, once you find your way around. One thing that tripped me up was the new (to me) playback rate pull down, the ...

My personal choice would be to update the OS first and try to end up on an LTS version of Ubuntu, I have Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS These are the steps I used to patch the OS then upgrade ZM add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-1.34 apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get install --only-upgrade ...

I have seen quite a few moths, far too many spiders but just recently I have quite a few round "floaters". These only occur at night and seem to be transparent, like a soap bubble and always moving at about the same speed with a slow zig-zag or even a circular motion. I'll upload a video/stills to ...

Just as an update I tried to load a firmware update to these cameras and could not get this to complete even using the suggested Windows/IE platform to connect to the camera. Just for added entertainment the website is offline with an SSL certificate problem so I could not contact the vendor for ...

I was thinking more of checking you could grab useable data from the camera in the first instance and checking the quality from a sample file.

I have similar issues on my busiest camera, I have three identical units. The most recent addition runs a steady 10fps, the first one I added wanders its frame rate from 7.5 to 9 fps with the same settings, I cloned the first camera to add the newest and they run through the same POE switch. The ...

Do your cameras support any other video sources that you could try ?

Have you tried stopping zoneminder completely and grabbing video directly from these sources with ffmpeg to see if they stream correctly independently ?


ffmpeg -i rtsp://admin:PassWord1@10.4.4.200:554/live/main -t 10 /tmp/out.mp4

I don't mind spiders generally as every one is worth its weight in mosquitoes, this is a good thing. Spiders seem to like one outside camera quite a lot, this is not a good thing. There are a few brands of Spider-B-gone spray on Amazon that are supposed to keep the hairy little beggars away from ...

I have two HV-400G2 cameras working on my first ever install of Zoneminder 1.32 Well its my second install but only because I overestimated the ability of a quad core Intel Atom for the first run. I used a retired Webserver with 16Gb and two quad core opterons to host Ubuntu 18.04.01-LTS and ...

Cracked it, I now have two cameras running in monitor mode and will add my settings to the working hardware compatibility section under H.View HV-400G2

ffmpeg is my new favourite utility.

No change, unable to detect any cameras with the interfaces swapped it just broke my IPMI connection.

Aha, I see the ZMOnvif script only works on the first interface.

I will try swapping the private and public interface configurations and report back.

I have a new build of Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS on a dedicated system, wiped and re-installed according to the WiKi on how to do it the easy way, a concise but invaluable bit of reference, many thanks for that. For my own peace of mind the cameras are all on an isolated network with no internet access ...
