ZoneMinder Forums

Hello, somebody use it in subject? What is it work? Can use Zoneminder all core in processor?

I use Pentium D, 1MB RAM, 16 IP cam and like change the processor to a Core2 Duo because load is 4-6.

The capture and analysis daemons for each camera run as seperate processes, so theoretically shouldn't have problems utilizing multiple cores. My load is 1.39 at the moment with 7 ip cams, core 2 quad 2.6 ghz.

I'm also surfing on it presently, and running a seperate windows VM for testing some other stuff.

Thanks coke I understand your answer but I don't know that zoneminder can uses multiple cores or OS (opensuse) automatically divides load to cores.

The short answer is, yes it can as the processes is distributed between the cores.

It's very fine. Thanks cordel.

Here's a detailed write-up of the hardware currently used for a production system I built this summer:

It has a Core2Duo and both cores are equally in use. Both the Capture and Analysis daemons run as separate processes for each camera. Also, if anyone's viewing, the Apache processes are separate for each camera. So yes, the OS will split things up just fine.
