Some events not triggering on linked monitors. I am missing some settings?

Post by dawansv »

Does anybody else experience this too? I have monitor-3 linked to monitor-2, but some events on monitor-2 do not trigger events on monitor-3. See screenshot of events on a 1 hour period. I have 7 on monitor-3, but only 4 triggered monitor-4. Is this normal behavior?

I can see that the 3 events not triggering on Monitor-3 (highlighted in yellow) report alarm frames < 5 on monitor-2. Is that the reason? And if so is that a parameter we can change somewhere?

Also notice how the alarm frames and the score are different on monitor-3 compare to the same events on monitor-2. But where do these numbers come from? Are they not derived from the settings in the zones? But since monitor-3 is in Nodect and linked, I have no zones defined there...

I feel like I am missing some settings on Monitor-3 somewhere...

Yeah I have that problem occasionally too. Restarting zoneminder usually fixes it for me, but that doesn't stop it from happening again.

I'm going to post here instead of starting a new thread. I am having the same issue. I just had 4 events on my low res stream that did not propagate to my high res linked camera.

Attached is the image:

As you can see, there are 4 extra events on 'backdoor-motion' that there are on 'backdoor'

Does any one have linked monitors working 100%, or should I just not use them?

Thanks,
Gerald

I have given up on the linked monitors. They behaved like I had circular links even when I didnt, and often the primary monitor would go into alarm and the linked monitors would not. So after futzing with them for a while, I just abandoned linked monitors as something that does not appear to be fully developed and reliable.
