Ok. This is what I came up with: The privacy zone stopped object detection completely. Not entirely sure why. It started working again when I removed the privacy zone. What did work is editing the objectconfig.ini file, and adding the following above the monitor-999 example: [monitor-1] driveway=0,0 ...

I'll do that. Thank you. I'm still learning all this. I've been running ZM for 3 years, and only now am I learning how to use the event server.

I created a privacy zone to exclude the section I don't want to be processed for object detection. The trouble is, I still want to be able to see that area when I'm viewing the camera live. Is the privacy zone the only option? I created a clone of the camera in question and set it to the monitor ...

Is there a way to limit object detection to only part of the scene? Right now, every movement triggers a car alert because a car is parked across the street. I only want to know if the object is detected in my yard. I don't want to limit object detection only to the zones.

Thanks. I made the suggested changes. I'll report back with my findings. I really appreciate your help!

I'm having a problem with false alarms. I think it is caused by slight changes in light, which cause the camera to adjust something. It always causes false positives. Is there a setting in the camera I need to adjust? My camera is the Amcrest 5MP PoE Bullet Security Camera IP5M-B1186EW-28MM. Here is ...

Is is possible to run the event server on a separate machine from Zoneminder? I have Zoneminder running on a really old laptop, but I'm not sure the laptop will be able to handle the event server as well. I want to run ES with person detection. Running ZM alone with 3 cameras takes up over half of ...

Done. Is there a simple method to upgrade? I spent so much time setting this up, and it was quite an involved process. The idea of spending another month fighting to upgrade makes my head hurt.

I'm running ZM on an old acer laptop (debian fresh install), which is connected to the network via 2.4ghz wifi. I have two cameras. A amcrest PoE camera connected and powered via ethernet, and a wansview W6 connected via 2.4ghz wifi. The settings on both cameras are the same, except where noted, as ...

Can you tell me where those profiles are setup and what they do? I can't seem to find anything in the documentation about the profiles. Are they the camera profiles that are listed elsewhere in the presets page?

Do you have any reason to think the newer version won't have the same problem? I ask because I don't want to spend days trying to get this running again, only to end up with exactly the same problem.

When I try to add a monitor through the ONVIF stream probe, it detects the camera, but I select the camera and click next, the detected profiles list is empty and I cannot click save. I've look around and I cannot find anything showing the function of the detected profile, or where to set them. Is ...
