Alarm frames missing/dropping

Hi,

I have a small setup with a few cameras on a linux system on modect mode.
I configured the camera buffers like this: https://prntscr.com/n26you
The problem is that, when an alarm event occurs, i get a smooth recording before and after event but very shuttery when the actual event happened.
On the android application, i can see the captures, and clearly there is a big pause between alarm frames https://prnt.sc/n272dx
What is causing this, and how can i get a smooth capture at the alarm frames?

thanks

I have never been 100% satisfied with Zoneminder on Debian 9. You can check the install procedures on the wiki to see if you missed anything.
