"hiccup" in event

Post by pyrodex »

When my camera is triggering an event I am seeing a weird hiccup that makes the video reverse back 3-4 seconds and then restart again like normal. This is in the image frames and even in the video being generated. I can't figure out what this is happening but need someone to help me look at the settings to see if that is the issue.

I am running the following ZM version:

Code: Select all

rcrews@beast:~$ dpkg -l | grep zoneminder
ii  zoneminder                            1.26.5-1ubuntu3                                    amd64        Linux video camera security and surveillance solution
rcrews@beast:~$ 
I have the following settings for the monitoring:

Can't upload images due to a new user...

Here is a sample video showing the issue:

Can't have video link due to new user...

I appreciate any help or ideas on the situation.

Hi,

This happened at least twice when I ran apt-get update/upgrade in my ZM server and some libraries (mainly for graphics) are being updated.

I would do:
- Stop Zoneminder service
- run apt-get update && apt-get update
- Review the buffer settings, post yours here
- Restart the ZM box
- Check the behavior, should be fixed

If not, you could update your system to the ZM1.27 version.

Hope it helps,

PacoLM

After more than 15 years, no longer using ZM as surveillance system.
Now in the dark side, using a commercial system...

I've rebooted the box many times and this is a fresh ubuntu 14.04 LTS install and fresh ZM install. Here are my buffer settings:

Image Buffer Size - 75
Warmup Frame - 25
Pre Count - 75
Post Count - 75
Stream buffer - 1000
Alarm Count - 9

I am trying to get a good few seconds of video/images before the alarm captured and ideally 2-3 seconds would be nice. Currently my Vivotek IP8332 records around 28FPS.
