I decided to try the 1.35 version of Zoneminder, even though it doesn't have a stable release yet, as one of Isaac Conner's posts in the development forum indicated this was an issue they are ...

I put save JPEGs to disabled, and Video Writer to H264 Camera Passthrough, which I thought would do basically the same thing as ffmpeg does when pulling an RTSP stream to disk, with about 2% CPU usage for 4MP cameras. So I was very surprised when the CPU usage was so extreme. I tried a similar setup ...

We are trying to setup a system with 16 4MP IP cameras. ZoneMinder works fine on the first few cameras, but the CPU usage on the zmc processes is ...

However, every time a client views the streams, no matter if it is through the console, the montage, or the zmNinja app, the log file fills with a ...
