I have been running this for a short time (few weeks) everything has beeng working great.

I have 1 Camera, on a cheap 4 port DVR card (only using 1 cam) I have it set for MODECT and all hs been well recently, it stops detection motion. I have stopped and stated ZM, n change.. I rebooted and it worked fine. this morning again I notice it did not detect me leaving the house.

nothing has changed on the box, and this is currently the only thing running

Any ideas as to what I should look for?


Jim

have you got your zone so sensitive it goes into alarm then doesnt restore?

That could be it. still trying to learn the ins and outs of the setup of ZM. I tweaked the buffer it was working fo a b it and now it is,t I am also gettinc extremely high duration values something like 15354973.21

I am getting this in the messages log

I did tweak Buffers a bit (right now) image buffer size is 30 the rest left the same and frame alarm set to 2 (just increased it to 3)


Sometimes I see zma -m 12' crashed, signal 8 as well

I think I have solved this. I completely reinstalled the mysqlDB and since doing so I have not had recording problems. Not sure what would be different, there are no errors i did check the db for errors and all clean..


even with the old DB and deleting the current monitor and adding a new one did not work correctly.

will see what happens over the next few days
