I'm gonna have to get around to fixing that I guess. It's very strange because I have a ton of special characters in the password for my other amcrest camera and that one never gave me any problems. But it must've been the password for this amcrest camera because changing the password fixed the ...

Do you have weird characters in password? Turn on debug logs under Options->Logging->DEBUG If it takes too long to get an image zmwatch will restart zmc. Make sure Options->System->WATCH_MAX_DELAY is big enough. Like 30-45 seconds. Thank you SO much; it WAS the weird characters in the password. I ...

Is there a wiki I can read on how to use ffprobe or do you have an example of its syntax is used in the command line?

This sounds interesting. I don't know anything about that command. How would I use it? Will it allow me to add the camera to zoneminder through the command line?

How do I do that?
I can already ping the camera from the zoneminder server. I just can't get it added.

This is how I defined my Amcrest cameras. Perhaps it will help. rtsp://admin:password@10.10.2.20:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0 The channel and subtype can change depending on the feed you want to use. This is the primary feed. I have another Amcrest camera (different model than the one I ...

I have this Amcrest camera and I cannot seem to get it working with Zoneminder 1.34.23 I get this error that says unable to open input rtsp://admin:PASSWORD@IPADDRESS:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&unicast=true&proto=Onvif due to: Input/output error Whenever I try to view the camera through ...

I also have this camera and can't get it to work. Does anyone have any advice?

There's zmninja for the app. I use it and it's nice.

I was wondering if it is possible to isolate both failed login attempts and successful login attempts isolated from the rest of the logs and to export those on a regular basis to a text file. If this is possible, how would I go about doing that?
Thank you.

I'm in the market to get a doorbell camera that will work with zoneminder and I stumbled across this article a while ago about facial recognition and zoneminder. https://medium.com/zmninja/diy-doorbell-face-recognition-with-zoneminder-and-dbell-e15d4cd261c4 Originally the article is talking about ...

Here is a 30 day purge that has been working for me for a while: day_purge.jpg This worked for me thank you for sharing. :D That being said, you should actually try to use Start Date/Time because it is more efficient and more tested. Why is it more efficient? because the resulting SQL is to_days( E ...

Hello all, I just need some help with setting up a filter that will auto delete old zoneminder events that are over 30 days old. I followed some threads on it but I must have messed something up with the date portion. https://imgur.com/a/Y6CgFEf For the date section after start date, I tried putting ...

So I entered a command in the DecoderHWAccelName field ffmpeg -h encoder=h264_vaapi and afterwards I saw my Ram usage increase from the 3-4gb range to about 6gb and according to radeontop my gpu usage is still hovering in the 5% range. I'm wondering if that's normal and if maybe zoneminder is using ...

I got 1.34 set up and I noticed that there was going to be support for hardware acceleration for ffmpeg. I got to the options menu and saw the help question mark mention intel and Nvidia hardware acceleration, I was just wondering if AMD is or will be supported in the future. Thank you. I feel like ...
