Greetings, I want to set zoneminder in a round robin configuration whereby I'll be able to have two events per camera. In more detail, i have several cameras (three) and all three i've set up with a maximum FPS of 1. I've set up all cameras on "Record" mode so they dump a frame every second. I want to store the last 48 hours in two events for every camera, two events for every camera, one for every 24 hours, six in total as to backlog the 48 hours on every camera. I want the old events to be deleted once a new one starts, If for example one camera has these events
Monday [DONE]
Yesterday [DONE]
Today [Working...]
As soon as Today is done, monday's event archive gets deleted and tomorrow starts capturing. Is this possible? I can see how this would be easily possible if the filters had a NumberOfEvents field to match on. Is zoneminder capable of this setup?
ZM Round robin configuration
If I understand correctlyyou want a section length of a 24 hour period at 1 fps per camera?
So at 1 fps for a 24hr period you would have 86,400 images section length.
This function is discribed in the manual here.
The only obstical might be the file system. You will have to make sure to use a file system that would manage it.

Ok, i've figured a bit of it out. Silly of me not to think of this before but i believe that I've got the deleting bit sorted. Thankyou to whoever wrote the documentation for ZM. Mentioning that zm uses the strtotime() func for the Date/'Date/Time' fields really help. I was able to set up a filter that matches on Date >= "2 days ago" and I'm currently going to leave it on for a bit to test.
But another problem remains. here is my Event table for reference:
8 Event-8 Camera01 Continuous 02/08 14:05:04 295.26 6639 0 0 0 0
9 Event-9 Camera01 Continuous 02/08 14:10:00 599.98 13203 0 0 0
Why such arbitrary values for both frame count and duration. My question is. How can I make the frame count or duration equal to 24 hours? Either set the limit at 86400 seconds per event (because my cameras are set 1 fps) OR 86400 frames per event (because of the same reason). So it should keep amassing frames up to that limit, and when it's reached it, start another event. Is this possible? where do i set this? And why is it starting new events at such random intervals atm?
Thankyou.
