hai,

can I record in zoneminder 1 camera for 1day stop after the first day

and the 2nd one for two or three days an stop after the second day

if or if not please help me how can I do it

If you explain further im sure we can help but i dont understand the question. But yes you can using runs states and cron

for example 1 camera for two days the second camera for 3 days

like that

if you mean you only want to keep footage from cam1 for 2 days and cam 3 for 3 days you will need to setup custom filters to delete the footage when the footage is n days old. If you mean you only want to record for 2 days then you will need to use cron to change a run state after 2 days to a new run state etc.

thanks for the answer

Hi

I just want to add another information: you will need to create new States of ZM (one will have Cam1 active and Cam2 disabled and the other state is the reverse)... this will be usefull for your cron in order to enable/disable the cameras as you want.
