Have you tried to set "Maximum Image Buffer Size (frames)" to some value instead of 0? Actually the meaning and effect of this parameter is not quite clear to me, but setting this to 1000 (for exampe) may solve the problem. Anyway in "Buffers" menu you'll get the definite max "Estimated Ram Use" instead of "Unlimited".

I tried, this is after setting it to 500 (remember, server has 56 Gb in total, and ZoneMinder takes 43 of it...):

MaxImageBuffer should be roughly 2*keyframe interval. It should only be larger to deal with slow writing to disk or other temporary slowdown. So 500 is likely too high unless your stream is h264+ (very high keyframe interval).

If it is set too low, ZM will drop packets and complain.

I see... how can i know what keyframe interval is? I don't know much about it, but Isn't it like 2 or something?

Might be in your camera settings menu.

I set it to 50, for all cameras, that does not give any positive result...

did you find a solution?

Can anyone explain how it is possible? Why do I have duplicated monitors 69 using 8Gb of memory in S sleep state? It's just simple monitor with motion detection 12fps 4k. Recently I have low memory problems, sometimes, maybe after update, I'm not sure. Can't see any noticeable errors I will increase log.
Or maybe I should try 37 version...
Or it's just normal?, I added 16gb, who knows, maybe it will help. So memory hungry)
