Randomly not recording

[joako]

I have an issue where randomly some camera will stop recording. I can still view it live!

I've looked at the logs and there's nothing relevant.

How can I ensure my cameras are always recording? There's plenty of free disk space.

Once I restart the server or even just zm service it starts recoding again, for a while.

Hi,

Seems zma is lagging behind and can not keep up with the rate of zmc. Try slowing down the capture or speeding up the analysis.

I am using mode: "record" w/o any analysis. So even to record w/o motion I need faster hardware?

[mastertheknife]

Ok, seems like something else is the issue then.

Please enable debugging level 9 and post a debugging log for zma.

I fix the issue by deleting all the events and starting over.

But now my 2nd system does the same?

How can I ensure recording continues without deleting everything? It sort of defeats the purpose of recoding.

[joako]

no matter what i do on this system it always goes back to not recordidng.

how can i ensure it records at all hours without fail?

Try the zmlarch Live Cd.
Just remember to edit the hosts file so the server will start
