Zoneminder alarm max fps and alarm state

picard71 · Post by **picard71** » Tue Jun 13, 2006 10:18 am

Hi All!!

I'm newer to use Zoneminder and now i have a question...

i've Zoneminder 1.22.2 installed in a computer with 1100 MHz processor and RAM 1 Gb and configured for use 4 analogic camera connect to a Axis 2400 Video Server.

But now any time appears a strange error in /var/log/messages :

"INF [cam1: 232 - Gone into alert state]"
"INf [cam1: 233 - Gone back into alarm state]"

and

"ERR [zmc -m <n°id-cam> exited abnormally, exit status 255]"

"INF [Found open event '<n°event>']"
"INF closing"

What is this???

I've read that this error is associated with new introdoucing variable "Alarm Maximum Fps" setting for every cam...is it true??

thanks for help!!

i've meet similar error as you but i don't resolve it yet....& you?

I also look that the event of cams aren't be regular and not be equal to variable SECTION_LENGTH of cams....it's more strange thing...why???

jameswilson · Post by **jameswilson** » Wed Jun 14, 2006 10:13 am

Are you using mocord/record?
And what values do you have in max fps and alarm fps?

Dr_AxiA · Post by **Dr_AxiA** » Wed Jun 14, 2006 10:19 am

i use:

-) mode: RECORD
-) max Fps: 1.00
-) max alarm Fps: nothing or other values

jameswilson · Post by **jameswilson** » Wed Jun 14, 2006 10:53 am

enter a value of 1 in alarm fps shouldnt make a difference. If your using record mode, can you list a few actual section length times

Dr_AxiA · Post by **Dr_AxiA** » Wed Jun 14, 2006 12:01 pm

Section Length is 600....

but...you would a part of event list??

jameswilson · Post by **jameswilson** » Wed Jun 14, 2006 12:30 pm

yeah, if you have a section length of 600 and record your events should be approx 600 long, if therfe not we need to look as to why, How long are your events then?

Dr_AxiA · Post by **Dr_AxiA** » Wed Jun 14, 2006 12:50 pm

the event length is more variable....any event's length is -1, other event's length is more large of 600 and so much...it seems that create event alternate length -1 and more of 600....

can you do a screen grab and post it as that is realy strange and i think i must be misunderstanding you, also you need to look your logs and see what is happening here

sorry, but my english is so bad....so:

i hope that admin forum not ban me for this...

jameswilson · Post by **jameswilson** » Wed Jun 14, 2006 1:40 pm

thats great but can you save it a bit bigger for me as i cant read that

Dr_AxiA · Post by **Dr_AxiA** » Thu Jun 15, 2006 8:36 am

zma gone into alarm state because zmc lost any frame in capture video???But why if i've 1 camera or 10 cameras in record mode, zmc lost frame??? Monitoring process with top utility result that machine load average start at 5.3 and go up until 10...12 and also 15 !!!

...why??

i hope that i explain well my question....

jameswilson · Post by **jameswilson** » Thu Jun 15, 2006 9:24 am

i dont like the 'r' this means they have been recovered and all is not well. Also a load of 15 is not gpood, id try making it smaller and setting all cams but one to none and set 1 cam as record and see what happen then

Dr_AxiA · Post by **Dr_AxiA** » Thu Jun 15, 2006 9:53 am

now with 10 cameras have a load average of 8.5....now i set only 1 camera to record and other to none...i say you between little
