hello All,

my camera has motion detection, should I use this feature and relieve ZM from it?

I guess I'd save some cpu cycles.

If the answer is yes, which parameters are relevant for setup?

thanks for your time.

zm is more fine grain in the controls and zoning than what most cameras can do. You may save some cycles but certainly some benifits too.

thanks for your kind reply.

So, should I change the camera setup to something like, "no motion detection"?

p.s. maybe you can give me a hint: events are recorded (I can directly access the files), however I can't see them in the console, it just shows a broken icon.

most likely its a permissions issue. Make sure the events folder and sub folders are atleast 711, and the images are 644. If you start zoneminder or apache under a umask other than 0022 it can create them also with wrong permissions.
