Grandtech III turns itself off

Hi,

I am using zoneminder to monitor our church facilities after four breakins

It has been working REALLY well, but...

I have noticed lately that one of three grandtech cameras that were all working fine has suddenly started turning itself off

I have it changing from monitor to modect at night and then back to monitor during the day, all via a cron job, which seems to be working perfectly

When I go in to check the system the camera in question has turned off the 'enable' tick in the config. I turn it back on and it accepts the change (the console has the camera all back to orange - if it is in moitor mode - or green if it is in modect mode). Come back some time later and it is red again (mumble, mumble).

I know that no-one else is playing with it (for fear of broken fingers

)

I have checked the forums but cannot find anything like this behaviour.

Any idea where I can start troubleshooting?

After another broken window last night I am keen to fix this ASAP.

Thanks

Jerji

Is this system available through the internet and if so would you mind PMing me SSH and web access?

Sounds like the bug with the last version where the enabled states are not saved when you switch run-modes.

I believe it was fixed in the most recent version (although I've not tried it) but it was reported by Phil at the time to be a bug rather than a config issue - the "Enabled" value simply wasn't saved to the sql.

This problem has been addressed in the current release 1.22.3 and I think it was addressed in 1.22.2 as well.
I can patch your version of 1.22.0 to fix this issue or it might be better for you to just upgrade to the current release. This is a known problem with the version you are running.
