I checked the image size. although the cam is set at 50....60 %, the image size is close to the uncompressed 100 % value. Managed to pipe it through imagemagick converter: wget -O - http://192.168.1.28:8080/photo.jpg | convert '-[0]' -quality 70 photo.jpg A quality level of 70 reduces size by 90 ...

still one idea before - may it be due to the large file size? when I reduce the file from 5 Mpixel to tiny 640 x 480, the error changes: 2020-01-05 16:30:58 zmc_m10 31173 INF Return from Capture (-1), signal loss zm_monitor.cpp 2391 2020-01-05 16:30:58 zmc_m10 31173 INF Failed to capture image from ...

I thought one way to solve all the issues might be to have a second stream with the hi-res-low-fps from the cam. Maybe there is another android app out there? Or I try to build something using a debian chroot for andoid and ffmpeg or so? However, I tried to store X264 converted video in parallel to ...

What works: watch both monitors from the android in the monitor view detection, capturing, review, etc, as expected for the first 5 monitors listed - all H264 streams link trigger for the ip-cam image monitor capturing of jpegs in files like /var/cache/zoneminder/events/9/2020-01-05/1537/00005 ...

Can we share experience about optimizing the setup of android devices as cams? My goal is sth like e.g. 960 x 720 x 5 fps H.264 video stream for detection and permanent record 2560 x 1920 snapshots every 10s in alarm case from http://192.168.1.28:8080/ photo.jpg[/b] I plan to install a large number ...
