Fresh install of ZoneMinder 1.34.23 on Debian 10, baremetal. I have 8 H.264 cameras set to Record and 0 Zones setup but I still get 8 zma processes running. I am not doing any analysis but the log still shows that the cameras are capturing and doing analysis. If I set the cameras to Monitor, then all the zma processes go away as expected.
Source Type: ffmpeg
Analysis FPS: Left blank
Is zma needed for the writing of the frames to disk? My understanding is that zmc pulls frames from the stream and zma just does motion detection analysis. So if I am not doing any motion detection analysis, zma should not even start.
All I want to do is have the 8 cameras recording 24/7 and to be able to live stream the cameras. I don't want or need any kind of motion detection analysis.
Thanks for any help.
