ZoneMinder Forums

One update, I think it is the USB 3.0 sata adapter. Switched to an old one without uas and the problem is gone. Found additionally someone who posted problems with the JSAUX adapter. Ordered now another that is recommended as working (StarTech)

Hi, maybe someone has any hint for me. I'm using zoneminder 1.36.18 on a raspberrypi 4 with 2 cameras for some time without any issues. Now I switched to SSD (one try with SD copier, and second try with play dd). No other changes. I have an external cacti monitoring. I observe some random cpu loads ...

Thank you for your detailed reply.
Then I will try it with a 1080p camera and modect on low stream.
Currently the Reolink RLC-410W is available for a very good price.
Is it recommendable?

And would you say that I can stay with my 128GB sdcard (uhs3)?
The space is absolutely enough.

Hi, I'm using ZM 1.36.11 on bullseye 32bit (before with buster - no differences) and a raspi 4GB and 128GB sd card. I have 2 720p cameras using ffmpeg and rtsp. The cpu load avarage is about 1.4, memory usage 1.2GB and everything is working fine. Live view and recordings are fluent (live view in ZM ...

I thing I found a solution
My camera sends 2 streams 960p and 720p.
I think with my 1.36 update I configured the wrong stream.
So ZM Monitor was configured for 960p and the used stream sent 720p.
I changed to 720p and now I get no error any more.
Maybe only an irritating error message.

Now I build and installed 1.36.10 on bullseye. Thank you for the information. Unfortunately the situation is still the same. 50% of the events have no end time, the video is not complete and these messages in log: 2021-11-16 13:15:33 zmdc 3182 ERR 'zmc -m 1' exited abnormally, exit status 255 zmdc ...

Ok I began a new bullseye installation on my raspi today.
In the 1.36 repo for bullseye I can only find a 1.36.0 package for armhf.
On buster I‘m currently on 1.36.5
Is there a newer package for armhf and bullseye available?
Or can I use 1.36.0 and import my mysql export from 1.36.5?

Hi,
I‘m running Debian Buster 32 bit.
For my upgrade to 1.36 I did a fresh install.

I thought that many people are using zoneminder on a pi4b with Raspi OS and
there is only a bad config on my side.

Hi, I'm using Zoneminder for several years with the same camera setup without issues. This summer I upgraded from 1.34 to 1.36.5. After update I thought everything works fine, but now I ca see that some events have no end-time and in syslog I see often entries like Nov 14 13:47:17 pi4b-2 zmc_m1[762 ...

Issue is solved.
I started to compare again all settings.
In the last step I only increased the GPU memory. In the new installed system it was set to 64GB.
After changing that, everything is working.

One additional information: I enabled debug logging and compared the output. at one point, the logging begins to differ: The running system - at the end zma begins: │10/07/21 08:24:10.886197 zmc_m1[2308].DB3-zm_ffmpeg.cpp/70 [video codec set to: h264] │ │10/07/21 08:24:10.886236 zmc_m1[2308].DB3-zm_f ...

Hi, I'm struggling for hours, bit now I have no idea any more... I'm using Zoneminder (V1.34.22) for a long time with the same infrastructure. Raspberry Pi 4B 4GB, latest patchlevel of Buster. 3 Cameras (Foscam HD using FFMPEG and H264, one old Foscam capturing jpgs and one Instar HD FFMPEG H264 ...
