1.37.60 - cameras dropping offline - but working

[lightguy48]

I noticed this morning that I'm seeing random cameras drop offline in the main dashboard screen. However, the cameras are online and recording and detecting motion in their zones.

System utilization seems normal, memory is at 25%, CPU utilization is at 3.5% on an 8 core machine.

The log does not show any errors or warnings about the cameras being offline so it makes me wonder if it's just a dashboard indication issue?

I did see the update to 1.37.61 so I've installed it and will see if the issue continues...

So I tried 1.37.61 - same result it shows cameras dropping offline but they're still recording and analyzing. I also tried rebooting several cameras and my Ubuntu server (22.04.4) and it made no difference.

I view too problems with live view. Picture was broken, but VLC show normal picture in same time from camera. But log-file has many errors.

I have no issues with the connection to the cameras - the connection is reliable and stable, there are no dropouts.

This appears to be a false / incorrect indication of the camera being offline when it is in fact online and operating normally.

So I finally found the issue - I kept digging and found this from GitHub: https://github.com/ZoneMinder/zoneminder/issues/3766

For some reason (I didn't change it) all of my cameras were set to 1000 instead of 100 as iconnor says should be the default.

I have no idea why and how they got set so high as I have never touched that setting before.

I've got this problem as well (had to downgrade from 1.37.64 due to the same segmentation fault issue noted at viewtopic.php?t=33332), but my fps_report_interval=100 everywhere. I don't know if I should be trying to chase this in .60 when .64 is latest, but obviously I can't use .64 until the segmentation fault is fixed.

Got it (in my case). Logs are my friend: [ZoneMinder is not configured properly: php's date.timezone +0000 does not match the system timezone -0400! Please check Options->System->Timezone.] at /usr/share/zoneminder/www/includes/functions.php line 2050. And I'd recently read iconnor's comment viewtopic.php?p=132040#p132040, so....

Don’t forget to remove the ; from in front of date.timezone
