I have identical 4 cameras (DCS-5300G) using 1.21.0 Live CD

Only one camera creating so many events. After I stop recording and cleared all the events and restarted recording but problem continous.

All the settings for each cameras is equal.

Other cameras only populated 50 events while this crazy one populates 32k events.

Any possible reason?

Anyway thanks for great software we are sharing.

Any idea on what is triggering the events?
You might need to change the zone to reduce the events.
The other cause could be interferance in the video, check that your connections are good.
Other than that we would need alot more detail on your setup and maybe a sample picture.

Basically this camera is not triggered by event.

It just suppose to record continously by making 1 event per 10min but now each event has only 12 to 13 frames and keep populating.

One more thing is frame rate is very unstable on this camera. I don't know why some times 20fps, 10fps, 5 fps, it fluctuates greately even though I limit max fps to 8

Rest of other cameras are working fine.

I have No idea.

Furthermore do you know how to upload picture here.

Then I can show you sample picture.

Check your zmdc.log and see if the capture damen for that camera is crashing. Also look in the logs to see if you are reciving corrupt images and such. You might also try pinging the camera and make sure that you have a good link on the wireless network.

I had this same problem with a DCS-900. After I unplugged the camera it seemed to work again, after plugging it back in of course.
