After a bit of digging I found the answer, simple really, there's an entry in zmeventnotification.ini where you can tell the eventserver which monitors to skip. # list of monitors which ES will ignore # Note that there is an attribute later that does # not process hooks for specific monitors. This ...

Hi, I have Object detection and face recognition working fine, but would like to turn it off on some of my cameras but not others, still want motion detection though. I have separate [Monitor-xx] sections in the objectconfig file so face recognition only happens on the frontdoor cam. I have tried ...

SOLVED
Answering my own question here. By putting a sleep 10 command before re-enabling the camera stops the alarms happening. Gives time for the movement to complete and settle (focus etc) before monitoring resumes.

Hi, I do this via the /var/lib/zmeventnotification/bin/zm_event_end.sh script, the named person is passed to this via variable 4 ($4) (along with other text) so I run that through something like this: some stuff SUB="My name" if [[ "$4" == *"$SUB"* ]] && [[ "$2" == "2" ]]; then caption="Person ...

I'd suggest running the zmupdate.pl by hand. Start with a -f to freshen up the config. Could be worth trying the command with a more privileged DB user (-u -p). Thank you, This got me on the correct route. I took the opportunity to replace a failing drive and did a fresh install, similar issues. So ...

Thanks for the suggestion, I've tried dropping the zm database and trying the install again same error. I've re-installed mysql, again no change in the zm installation error. I can login to mysql as zmuser using the default password and I can display 34 tables. So the zm install is getting that far ...

Hi, I was having issues with zoneminder so I removed and purged it (using apt) , also deleted events folder. When I tried to install it, via apt, I get the following error: Setting up zoneminder (1.36.26-focal1) ... detected systemd Detected db service is mysql.service Checking for db Db exists ...

Hi,

I had the same issue, to solve it I upped the GPU memory to 512MB, via raspi-config and everything started working. Now have 3 cameras working without any issues.
