I have a mix of indoor/outdoor/factory/office/home/banks/etc/

Haxxa you setup your filters to delete events with no alarm frames.

ic0n: So, bugs and rain in the IR? how you dealing with this?

I adjust my zones appropriately

You need to make a zone save file

sorry

zone export/import

why?

I've never wanted to do that

By 'you' I mean 'someone' ... Why? Coz "These settings are great for cameras completely outdoors which trigger lots of motion during night time rain events"

kinda thing

yeah... every camera is different. We need an auto-tune function.

ic0n: Coz like me, all the settings in the zones gives me a headache :)

me too.

I still haven't figured them out, but at any rate, I don't have the cpu grunt

Hey guys we need more youtube videos featuring zm

Ok, copied out the events I need

I'd be very interested in these "great settings for outdoor cameras that would otherwise fill up your hard drive overnight", too.

now compiling

RealBrianWarner_: haha

:-)

ic0n: Yay! can watch events again!

hey Bhaal merged your PR. works. Still one thing to fix. When I save a filter, the filter page reloads and has the saved filter selected but not all the files are properly filled out.

ic0n setting up now (filter) I still want to delete old events though how do I go about that - do I leave purge when full and instead delete alarmed at say 50% full?

yes.

ic0n, is no alarm frames called frames?

ic0n: Ahhh bugger

Bhaal: what?

I'm not getting the syntax here there is only sort by alarmed frames

ic0n: responding to you saying my fix didn't fix...

But I am sure it did for me :/

oh it did fix, just that there is still aproblem.

ic0n: What do you mean by "files" you mean all the bits?

All the ands

the lines in the filter. they aren't populated with the new values.

g'day all

ic0n, Do you achieve the alarm frames - or is there an option for non alarm frames

is frames = to not alarm frames

ic0n: Hrm ... They were for me when I did the fix initially

ic0n: looking now

I'm not sure

ic0n, what is I achieve them first

this is frustrating :/

ic0n: No, this is different to my fix...

here is my plan I am going to archieve the alarm frames

Haxxa I use Alarm Frames less than 5.

then I will set delete for non alarm frames at 55% full

then at 95% full delete all

ic0n, is that how you did it

I suggest also setting a minimum age.

I just said that's how I do it.

ic0n, no you didn't mention anything about ahcieving only non alarm frames which isn't an option so I am trying to figure that out

so used achieve for this

thus three filters

The filters work on EVENTS not frames. An event has a certain # of alarm frames. More motion means more alarm frames.

So you filter by alarm frame count, or score which is a measure of the size of the motion.

ic0n, yes but for these you do you ensure they last longer than normal frames

ensuring events are saved while events are deleted

*non-events are deleted

I just want the setup you state dearlier

such that events are saved longer that normal footage

thats all

did you use the achieve feature to do this

or did you do something else to the events

ic0n: Adding what date/time an for which an event is being deleted by zmfilter... awesome!

It's the little things :)

I'll start from scratch from tomorrow, I have a few hours tomorrow to dedicate and given the high level of complexity I will need to spent more time understanding how these filters are integrated and what could delete events with no alarm frames. I think I will need to muse the achieve function though

Hmm.. I wonder if its failing due to the lack of memory: http://imgur.com/a/OmUwD

Got signal 15 (Terminated), exiting

hmm... record is work

*record is working...

but not mocord

whcih leads back to original hypthesis that there is an issue with the filter I have setup

can anyone help me

filters do not affect recording in any way.

check your mem usage. check amount of space in /dev/shm.

turn on debug. Stop asking us to guess for you.

morning

ic0n, I wasn't I was looking for help which then I could provide: ic0n /dev/shm has ample space - 2gb ram vm is at 90% usage

ok rebooted vm memory is at confortable levels now

it seems to really eat the memory

0/

joao, hey!

how's it going :D

going on.. xD

thanks

boo I'm getting - Buffer overrun at index

hmmm.... Front-Door: 8000 - Capturing at 1000.00 fps

seems a bit hight

*high

Haxxa: I think that's evidence of an error condition, right? I saw that when I misconfigured my stream URL.

lol

that's absolutely high

RealBrianWarner_ maybe it might just be my camera dropping out I also get Unable to send raw frame 27: Broken pipe

Haxxa: I'm a novice, but that sounds consistent

is that a ipcam ?

joao yes

how mutch fps you have on camera side, on the stream that you are using

but then again modetct wasn't woorking at all

joao 10fps

weird

witch method are you using at ZM?

joao currently record as its the only thing taht works correctly

*that

I see

but I'm asking what value you have at "Source Type"

joao rtsp

that's the "Remote Method" right ?

wich version are you running ?

joao v1.30

Haxxa: sorry for the delay

I'm not the best to help you then because I don't have experience with 1.30 yet

see you guys tomorrow!

hey all

quick question I'm moving to 1.30 instead of upgrading since that fails, I'd like 1.29 filters to keep running to encode and purge what's left so I'll be disabling all monitors but I wanted to know if filters are only running when zm is running or if I can just leave everything as is and just stop zm from the webui?

I'm running dockers so 1.29 would be running alongside 1.30
