Good Evening,
Maybe I missed something on release v1.26.5 when I installed it. I have the PC setup to email my mobile when I have an alert. With the new upgrade my phone is going off constantly. When I look at the events in ZM there is nothing and they are only a few seconds in length. Strangest thing. I was thinking about falling back. I had the settings dialed in and ZM worked great.

Ubuntu 12.04
4G RAM
2.3 GHz Intel
14 IP cameras

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

This is because of a new setting in v1.26.5, called "Alarm reference blend percent" in the monitor options. To get pre <1.26.5 behaviour, set it to match the non-alarm one (its the one above it).
The default for this setting was too low at v1.26.5, and as of zm v1.27.0, both settings default to 6.25%.

Hope this helps.
