Hi Forum

I have set up ubunti 8.04, with zoneminder 1.23.3
The recording works fine - too fine

Why is it that there is a constant trigger active on all cameras ?

I even set up a mocord on a empty channel on my grabber card.
with all settings default, resolution, fps, path, zone, default zone, with defaults presets 'best, low sensitivity'
only 'max alarm area, max filtered area, and max blob area' up to 80%
so that there would be absolutely nothing to trig on.

I have set it to record debug images, and there are nothing on the images for the blank channel - absolutely nothing

And still the mocord stays constantly triggered

It doesn't seem natural to me that there starts a new event every 300 seconds, which is what i have set buffer size to.
What is it that i have set up wrong ?


Just forgot - the score on all events are zero

I think your looking for the modect function.
