I have been unsuccessful at making any AI/ML work in ZM, so at this point am ready to resort to the camera raising alerts. They're older Dahua IPC-HDW5449TM-SE-LED with 2021 firmware (they error when I try to update), so they're pretty dumb.
I believe I need to use Onvif in ZM to get these events, but in the wiki it seems that you need a separate URL for each type of event, if I'm understanding.
Has anyone done this? Has anyone gotten any AI/ML working in ZM, and if so please do a public service and advise.
Getting Camera Events into ZM
Re: Getting Camera Events into ZM
I installed ZMES on Debian 12 a few months ago and did not have any issues.

It is possible that compatibility will break in the future, but it has been working so far.
ZMES uses YOLO to do image recognition. I.e. it will detect objects (person, car, truck). It can be programmed for custom image detection.
With ZMES I get less false positives. Alternatively, you could use hardware motion detectors, which are also very reliable. https://wiki.zoneminder.com/ZMTrigger I haven't tried the ONVIF detection yet, but it's likely it works. Axis has something similar with it's custom scripting: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/AxisMotionDetection from https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Axis I haven't used that though, as the firmware among cameras can differ which makes it non trivial if you have a mix of cameras (a reason to only use one model of camera).

fastest way to test streams:
ffmpeg -i rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path ./output.mp4 (if terminal only)
ffplay rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path (gui)
find paths on ispydb or in zm hcl

Re: Getting Camera Events into ZM
Wow, ZMES seems to be working! I've set it to disregard my hi-def streams and only watch lo-def. But for each event in lo-def, the Cause is "Continuous". And the only thing happening is rain. (Seattle)
I don't understand this.
One hi-def monitor is getting triggered by its lo-def monitor on cars, but the clip always starts a little late after the car enters the frame. Is there a way to pre-start?
And I have no bounding boxes but I'll hold off on asking about that until I get a little further along with ZMES. It's just so nice to have such fewer events.

Re: Getting Camera Events into ZM
Dunno if they apply in this case, but you could play around with the Pre Event Image Count in the camera settings.
Re: Getting Camera Events into ZM
It's not responding to camera alarms.
The lo cameras seem to be recording continuously even as they are set to Mocord. ES doesn't seem to be having any effect after all. Every Event has zero Alarm frames. I don't understand this. I did test ZMES before I activated it and no errors.

That's what Mocord does. Modect records on detection...The lo cameras seem to be recording continuously even as they are set to Mocord.
Re: Getting Camera Events into ZM
Ok, I see.
But, I have about a half-billion of these on monitor 7:
