Viewing uploaded Zoneminder images

[Dan12345]

Hi,

I have ZM set up to upload old events onto a separate server. What if I later want to go back and view the old events? I could manually sift through the ZIPs, find the right one, convert to video etc, but that's all very awkward. Has anyone worked out a smarter way to do this?

thanks,

Dan

perhaps use a Filter to generate video files of the archived events prior to upload to your storage server? Is the Option->Images->OPT_FFMPEG checked? And Option->Images->PATH_FFMPEG correctly set? These settings will then let Create video for all matches option appear in the Filters actions section.
hope this helps!
