Which version to install?

Post by joea »

Just installed on Pi 4.

Is this where I should be posting "get things working" questions? What is the "running" version?

You should install the stable release of Zoneminder which is 1.36. Stable will be even numbers (36,38,40). Do not install the development version (odd numbers) unless you know what you are doing.
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
