I've started using ZM yesterday and I've got 7 important questions:
1) how can I force ZM to record with desired section length? I've set 500s minimum and 600s section length, but ZM records random lengths between 2 and 3 minutes.
Section Length should limit max record size. 600 seconds or 5 minutes is default. Anything less indicates the cam is disconnecting.
2) how can I encode with h264/h265 with docker version of ZM? I've set it but that produces zero size files
Dump the Docker and do a real install. Installing Zoneminder in a VM can be a problem. OK, Docker is not a VM but ...
3) Why my cameras randomly and frequently change to red with status 'not capturing' - I monitor them with zabbix, they response for ping and tcp port rtsp
Look to isues with your network. WIFI cams?
4) How can I play recordings with ZM interface (still docker installation)
Should be no problem if installed correctly. Still, dump Docker
5) How can I change bitrate recording for specific cam?
Those changes are done at the cam
6) What is onvif setting for? Can I use it instead of rtsp?
ONVIF is used to detect cam settings at monitor setup
7) How can I add ssl certificate for docker version of ZM?
SSL is added to Apache not Zoneminder

Thanks in advance.
