0.00 sec length events

Post by mangoo »

I set up my camera in "Mocord" mode.

However, it doesn't seem to record anything.

Sometimes events like these appear:

10 New Event 05/11 13:29:56 0.00 / 0/0

They have 0.00 sec length.

I thought ZM should detect when oething moves in front of the camera, and record that event?

Have you been through the Troubleshooting section in the README? If so what do you see in the logs?

I noticed there are two cases:

a) the event is still being recorded - then it shows:

10 New Event 05/11 13:29:56 0.00 / 0/0

so that's fine?

b) the event is not recorded at all (although it should)

For me it depends on the "Section length" camera setting.
If I set it to more than 600 (actually, I tried 900 only), sometimes nothing is recorded (but it seems random).
