I figured it out.

In Node-Red used mysql node to query zm database:

SELECT Name FROM `States` WHERE IsActive=1

Then passed results to Home Assistant Call Service node (input_text helper).

Upgrading my LXD container storage (ZM is installed in the LXD container) to SSD I believe resolved modect/nodect issues. I have not experienced any linked monitors related issues lately.

Hi,

ZM 1.36.5

I am using Home Assistant and Node-Red to automate ZoneMinder scheduling and data from/to ZoneMinder for a Security Alarm.

Everything works fine, but I would like to extract the current Run State information from ZoneMinder.

Is it possible to achieve?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I do not see any column AnalysisEnabled in the database zm / table "Monitors", so this probably explains why unchecking "Analysis Enabled" doesn't disable analysis on my hires monitor. But I might be wrong. Regarding zones on HiRes (nodect) monitor: it seems that zones are not necessary for my setup ...

The analysis of the high resolution stream is quite CPU/Memory intensive process. If I understand it correctly, the purpose of the linked monitors (in this case, 1 camera - two streams) is to analyze the low resolution stream to make it computationally less intensive and to trigger the high ...

Hi all, I am new to ZM and the nodect confuses me a lot. My scenario (2 streams from one camera): Lowres - modect,Hires - nodect. Hires is linked to Lowres If I understand it correctly, all analysis and motion detection should be done on the Lowres stream (modect): Analysis Enabled, JPEGs, Video ...

Update:

Now it is v1.36.5
It is not only changing zones (as I initially thought) but even opening/closing zones breaks monitors link.

And one more.
Just do not want to start a new topic:
Ubuntu
/usr/share/zoneminder/www/api
not all files have the right ownership, at least, in my installation they were root:root instead of www-data:www-data

It flooded logs with the cake permissions errors.

ZM 1.36.4

I am experiencing the following issue with the linked monitors. My setup: A High Resolution monitor (Nodect): Linked Monitor - Low Resolution (Modect) *(Storage JPEGS, Video writer - disabled). Everything works until I change/add zones on the Low Resolution monitor. It will not trigger a High ...

Update:
I have found that in my case Modect is more suitable and more stable than Mocord for the Sub stream camera (the storage is disabled). The main stream camera is still connected to the sub.

I have found this https://www.reddit.com/r/reolinkcam/comments/jnurzm/adding_reolink_cameras_to_zoneminder_nvr/ on Reddit. It helped me to set up the live view + motion detection/record. Mocord - Reolink E1 Pro Sub stream (680x480) (for the live view and the motion event analyzing and triggering ...

@Jay_from_NuZiland,

Perfect! It works now. Thank you so much!

I like this camera though it is unfortunate that it doesn't support http and rtmp.

I do not have other cameras to try, but tested Samsung Galaxy S9 with IP Webcam app and the quality of the video stream on ZoneMinder is fine.
VLC, PMPlayer, Blue Iris play E1 stream with no issues.

The quality of streaming video (Monitor) is terrible.
I have tested Reolink E1 Pro on Blue Iris (trial) and it works perfectly well.

Has anyone set this camera up on ZoneMinder successfully?
