newbie - How should I archive old events?
Posted: Mon Sep 19, 2005 1:15 pm
Hi there.
This is my first post.
First off I'm a new zoneminder user and found installation to be "doable". Not easy, but not impossible. Installed with ffmpeg support on SuSE 9.3. Just needed a few minor modifications on /etc/rc.d/zm script.
So ... I'm running 4 cameras 24/7 and my 40gb hd easily goes 100%. How should I proceed then? How do I archive old events, the OFFICIAL way ... Can I save them as videos to save up some space? Is there any easy way to automate this procedure (i.e. when disk space reaches 95%, archive all and upload them to my other server ....)
By the way, what should be good values for image quality (defaults are 70/70).
Other than that I must say I'm more than satisfied switching my expensive and crappy AVerMedia windows board to a generic bt878 board and zoneminder ...
Thanks in advance,
