Maximum Recording Time - 6 Hours no matter what options I select

Hi All,

I've successfully installed and been running Zoneminder.

The problem I am experiencing is that I only see to get 6 - 6,5 hours worth of recording, nothing more than that.

I goto the Montage Review and see that I can go back 6 - 6,5 hours and there is no video footage before that.

I've changed the resolution of the cameras to lower the hdd requirements but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. I've got a 500GB drive and recording from 4 cameras at 1280x720 @ 20fps.
At the moment hdd utilization is 64%.

Is there a way to increase the recording history?

Running CentOS7 with ZM 1.30.4.

Thank you.

Possible you are filling up your drive in that time. Lower the frame rate to 5 fps and consider lowering the camera resolution.
