Thanks for the reply. I've just checked the box and libavcodec is indeed installed.

Thanks. That makes more sense! Sounds like it's trying to convert the colour format then? I guess this is a YUV camera and all my others are RGB? How does ZoneMinder do the conversion? From the "Invalid Argument" message, I guess it's employing some external tool and there's a mismatch between the ...

Hi all, I've recently added a new camera (Tapo 21) via RTSP to my ZoneMinder install. Everything seem fine with the camera, I can view live, it's mdoetecting. I can PTZ it (well, PT it anyway). Even the little light comes on when I open the door. The one fly in the ointment is that it's flooding the ...

Hi, I was playing around with my ZoneMinder. I have a number of cameras connected over RTSP, which FFMPEG selected as the source. I understand this is the recommended settings and assume it's using ffmpeg to connect to the actual cameras? I say assume, because I also note that FFMPEG is not ...

Hi, I know this isn't entirely a Zone Minder question but I was hoping that someone here would be able to point me in the correct direction. I recently purchased a new CCTV camera. It's a rebrand (probably of a rebrand, of a rebrand, of a rebrand, that's been rebranded). I think it claims to be a TD ...

There would be four zmc processes and four zma processes. My understanding is that zmc deals with video capture and zma ...

Thanks very much for this tip. I checked and zmstats was not running. I kicked it off manually and it cleared down the tables. After a quick search with a well-known Internet search engine, I discovered that zmstats needs to run on only one server and is set in the server settings. I checked and it ...

Thanks for the tip. I took a look at the MySQL server and it looks like the triggers are in place. Just to be sure, I reran the .sql script and the triggers were recreated, however the issue remains. If I manually remove old entries from the Events_Hour, Events_Week, etc tables, then the counters do ...

I have a ZoneMinder 1.34.21 installation which has an issue with the event counters. I have four cameras and for each camera the event count for Hour/Day/Week/Month is the same. It's a different count for each camera but the count is the same across time periods. Eg Camera one has 1794 evens in the ...
