Excessive Storage

Post by junozone »

Hi Guys,

I've had ZM 1.28 installed on a fresh Ubuntu 12.04 for the past week or so.

I've noticed that it seems to be creating a massive amount of still shots.

It appears that every 10 seconds it is logging an event - and I'm, cool with that.

However, it also seems to be creating about 3000 still images in the folders while it does that.

This is in Morecord mode.

Can anyone point me in the direction of how to deal with that please as it's chewing up disk space on me and I don't want to have to keep manually cleaning it out every week as a routine or more importantly, have ZM stop working due to a disk space issue !

Thanks a million,

JZ.

Morecord records continuously, if you only want to record events the correct setting is Modect.

Lol !

I'm going to go outside now and beat myself with a stick.

I can't belive I just fell for that one on myself.

Thanks - that should do it ;-D

I did the same mistake myself, so you are not alone:)
