I'm not sure if I understand you right. So you don't use any links between monitors at all? I've learned, that a common use case is to choose "Modect" on the low res stream and "Nodect" on the high res stream and create alink from the high res to the low res monitor to not waste too much disk space ...

Thanks for clarification. Unfortunately, the Reolink RLC-510A does not support changing the audio streaming mode. It looks like that when streaming with RTMP the camera audio stream uses the one which ZM needs (G.711ulaw) and it works, but when using RTSP stream the audio seems to be in a different ...

Just want to share you my cronjob to automatically disable/enable all monitors which have a link, every hour (using bash, curl and jq): 0 * * * * docker exec -i zoneminder bin/bash -c echo $(maxMon=$(curl -s http://<zonemidnerHost>:<port>/zm/api/monitors.json | jq '.monitors | length'); monId=1 ...

Just curious, do you plan to just disable/enable ALL monitors (usually nodect monitors) in a fixed interval, which have a link to others. Or is it possible to find out somehow "from the outside" if a current link is broken or not? I've played around with the API and my guess is, that you plan to ...

I want to add, that VLC media info for the codec shows the following entries: Stream 0 Codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (h264) Type: Video Video resolution: 2048x1536 Buffer dimensions: 2048x1536 Frame rate: 29.970030 Decoded format: Orientation: Top left Stream 1 Codec: MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a) Type ...

I'm using Zoneminder v1.36.4 and followed all instructions to be able to setup audio like - set "Source Type" to "Ffmpeg" in "General" config - set "Video Writer" to "Camera Passthrough" in "Storage" config - enable the option "Whether to store the audio stream when saving an event." in "Storage ...

I'm sure we are not the only one with this problem, so our workaround idea may help others also... hopefully, someone will be able to fix this problem in one of the next versions...

It's really strange... after a couple of days without this problems (after increasing my limits), the problem started again?! As a workaround, I use now a cronjob which runs every 3h to delete all (hanging) zmu processes, like this: 0 */3 * * * docker exec -i zoneminder pkill --signal kill "^zmu ...

Try in a shell with different values because the largest nofile differs from system to system, so reboots are required for each try. 1. list current values with "ulimit -a" 2. set a new nofile limit which is higher (e.g. try to double it for each try) than the current listed value with "ulimit -n ...

I see one error in my previous posts. I've mixed up the number of open files with a different system which I'm working on in parallel, sorry about that confusion (one should not do too much tasks in parallel :wink: ). The correct new number is 90000 for my system, before I've only used 4096. I think ...

Hi, just to add my experience about this issue. I always need to remove and re-connect a Nodect to a Modect monitor link, if I do any change in the Modect settings (options and also zones). I always had this (small, but inconvenient) problem. As far as I remember, I never lost a link between Nodect ...

Hi, @mikb: You're right, this is not like a camera (OS/firmware/ip-stack) should behave (it's a Reolink RLC-510A). Also it's always a good idea to block these cameras from internet access at all... no one knows what else may going on under the hood... @jsylvia007: I run the whole system on a quite ...

IT'S SOLVED! Hi again, I have some new findings. It looks like I was digging in the complete wrong direction and my initial assumptions were all wrong. The root cause of all these problems where resource constraints on the system which runs my Zoneminder docker instance! I've played around with my ...

Hi, I'm running Zoneminder v1.36.4 in a docker container zoneminderhq/zoneminder:latest-ubuntu18.04 (in an Ubuntu 20.10 docker host system). Everything runs perfect so far with 5 cameras (3 different models, 1 WiFi, 4 PoE) installed. Two of the cameras sometimes does not respond (or does not respond ...
