Event problem- HELP!

[flame2262]

Hi,

I'm using the latest version: 1.24.2 under the latest Ubuntu.

First time installing ZM.
I've set up one monitor, and a few testing zones.
I can see the camera and the picture is OK.

When I try to "Force Alarm" in the feed/watch window (via the console),
nothing is recorded! I have the option to stop the forced alarm, but no output...

How do I make ZM record?

Thank you,
Eyal

I've checked the apace log, and I can only assume that this is related:

Code: Select all

Both MPEG streaming and JPEG streaming seem to behave the same (meaning- no events, and similiar error messages)

I've also done

Code: Select all

chmod a+x zms nph-zms

the event will only close when the alarm ends. It might be worth forcing an alarm then clearing it and seeing if you have anything. Your logs seem to suggest you have a problem streaming images, but im assuming these are working else you would of struggled setting up a zone.
FOr the time being stick with jpeg streams. You can move to mpeg later once you understand more and everything else is working correctly.

Hi,

As I said, I tried a force alarm and I get nothing.

JPEG streaming doesn't work as well

[jameswilson]

do you have images then? is can you see a live stream. If not then there is nothing to record.
Whats your monitor config?

[flame2262]

Live streaming is OK. I can see the picture well.

Currently I have two monitors with two different capture card, but also when I had only one it didn't work.

I can define zones with no problems.

[jameswilson]

ok good you have images. Most important bit out of the way.
what mode is the monitor in?

[flame2262]

Well,

Thanks to your guidance I found out that the default monitor mode does not record events, even though you have the "force alarm" option...

I Changed to "motion detect" and it's OK now.

The energy I spent to fix this... damn...

Thank you James
