You'll often need an app for initial setup, but after that you can usually access the camera directly,
If it wants to call chine, you can typically block it at your router without killing the camera rtsp.

I don't think you can on a release.
But it won't mess with the DB, so a reinstall and restore (of the monitors) should get to where you left off.

1. How do I set zoneminder to listen to a particular network and particular IP? Currently it's listening on the default localhost IP.

I believe what you're looking at here is the ip ZM uses to view the camera/monitor. Whole other thing from ZM seeing the camera.

I may be mis-remembering, but I think when I saw this, going into the zone and saving it again corrected the count.

If the camera can stream continuosly, it can work.
I don't think such a thing exists "off the shelf" due to low battery capacity.
AFAIK, you'd need to add your own battery/solar array to get that capacity, which means you don't need the camera itself to be battery.

Options->Config->EVENT_CLOSE_MODE
if I'm not mistaken.

Alright... good luck,

Well, that would be good, but can't seem to do with this camera....?

If you have the camera's IP, try running nmap on it.
That will hopefully tell you if it has an rtsp port open. Some that have it are oddball, like 10554. So run all ports if a normal scan doesn't show an rtsp.

...and I had done
sudo a2enconf zoneminder
sudo systemctl restart apache2

but it got disabled somehow.

sudo chmod 750 /etc/zm /etc/zm/conf.d

Got zoneminder to start but /zm not found on this server?

I've run into this -
remove your ubuntu pro.
May require actually reinstalling, I'd done a reinstall before it dawned on me that's what esm is.

But you may be able to force it...try apt list -a zoneminder and try using the first (newest) listed version.

The lo cameras seem to be recording continuously even as they are set to Mocord.

That's what Mocord does. Modect records on detection...

I put Brave-browser on Ubuntu and it works for me.
Maybe try a different browser. Firefox and Chrom(ium) both work for me.

Have you tried the Decoding options on the camera Source page? See the tips (?).

Dunno if they apply in this case, but you could play around with the Pre Event Image Count in the camera settings.
