beefsalad: on Source tab of FFMPEG monitor try Remote Method RTP/RTSP, will force TCP connection.

UDP issues in FFMPEG can cause artifacts, but more often seen as smear of image from a certain line

But worth a try

havent been watching it (too busy hanging cameras) but whenever I reconfigured it appears to have cured it

granted it burning IR at the moment, I suspect I'd see the same thing

its a nice shot of a fuzzy dog butt and part of my living room

hmmm, zmc shit the bed

uhhh, any way we can have the rtsp password suppressed from the logs?

hi

looking for assistance with this error

lulz, I see menus flashing before the login page. something tells me these are highly secure webcams </sarcasm>

;-)

that for sure

me i dont see the image not even the blue screen

any idea

source url work in vlc?

david29: distro? How did you install?

Ubuntu 16.04 follow http://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/stable/inst...

Titler: Ubuntu &mdash; ZoneMinder documentation

hi rexd666 thank you for your reply

david29: OK most common is zms_path

In gui go to options, paths, and tell me what zms_path is

rexd666 /cgi-bin/nph-zms

put /zm infront

thank you just did

now rexd666 it shows one alarm >>2016-11-02 23:16:48.433450zmdc3992ERR'zmc -d /dev/video0' exited abnormally, exit status 255zmdc.pl

USB camera?

connextant Brooktree bt878 4chips 16 input

see them in probe and created modprobe.d/bttv.conf

options bttv gbuffers=16 card=77,77,77,77

That is the bitch with cards getting the to work with linux

Most have moved onto IP cameras

I don’t have or work with them, I know you have to add www-data to video group for local devices

done

bt878 is not new around the block

can you view that device in vlc?

I was told to turn of VL4 BUFFERING AND PUT CAPTURE TO 2

off

sorry

now a new error

2016-11-02 23:23:05.998264web_js3049ERRTypeError: e[c] is undefinedzm/tools/mootools/mootools-more.js1

heh, moo

That is just a gui thing

its gweewii alright

;-)

then Rexd66 it tell me that it's capturing at 25fps

monitor 10000 then 11000 then 12000

only one camera right now

See if you have zmc running for that camera

how

ps -A or something along those lines

There is one that shows the command line

pgrep zmc should return process list

pretty sure thats a default in ubuntu

Yeah I am @work with windows and mac os available to me

4023 is what i got back from PGREP ZMC

so theres a zmc process running

do you puke beef salad?

working with windows tends to make me do that

david29: ps auxwww | grep vmc will show us the ful command

zmc

4201 0.0 0.0 14228 1020 pts/4 S+ 04:30 0:00 grep --color=auto vmc

the vmc at the end is red

pretty sure that was a type

typo

ps auxwww | grep zmc

the zms that just exited with error 15

4223 0.0 0.0 14228 1012 pts/4 S+ 04:32 0:00 grep --color=auto zmc

also in red at the end Rexd666

web_js3049ERRTypeError: e[c] is undefinedzm/tools/mootools/mootools-more.js1

is always triggering an alarm

status

That command is finding itself and no zmx running

sorry zmc

zmx ?

zmc ?

meaning no capturing deamons

yes

funny as now I have stream ?

ps -A | grep zmc

what when on in the background we will never know but thank you to those that found along myside today to make my day a better day

4409 ? 00:00:05 zmc 4534 ? 00:00:02 zmc 4574 ? 00:00:02 zmc 4618 ? 00:00:01 zmc

that was the ps - A Rexd666

OK so it is running

still zmc is in red for the 4 of them

the red is just ubuntus default of colorizing the grep string

thank you

now the status of the alarm (orange red ) how does one resolve that

and thank you beefsalad that is why the fw was down to beging with never know who might want to help

say what?

Hello

Can anyone please suggest a good inexpensive IP video camera with a good RTSP support for ZM?

1-2 Mpix

morning, sanyo

resolution does not equal quality

Good morning

jzaw, I've just seen your response about disabling the analysis part of zma now. Is it really that massive of a task (I'm coming from an ignorant understanding of the ZM system)? Is there no way to just comment out the analysis parts, or is it tightly coupled with the storing of footage to disk and cataloguing to the DB?

Morning ic0n

Maybe you can comment on that above message? Re: disabling the motion analysis to reduce server load

um... the calculations are fairly intense. you turn it off by turning off motion detectino: select record as the monitor type.

I have my monitors on record. But the zma process for that monitor is taking up 1.6GB RAM and 90% of a core, whilst the zmc process is only 306MB and 20% of a core

Is the zma process still doing something then? I'm running the video storage branch - perhaps the video encoding is done within it?

zma also does the writing. You can reduce buffers if you are just recording.

you are using h264 passthrough?

Nope, x264 encode.

I understand h264 passthrough is about half the strain compared to x264 encode from some tests I conducted. However theres no timestamp overlay when passing the footage directly

ah. Yeah the encoding is happening in zma.

long term, it may get better due to hardware support.

Might have to investigate whether the client would prefer being able to run more cameras vs not having timestamps.

You're running a 32 camera setup right, with videostorage?

I'm running several systems, some more like 90 cameras. I don't use the encode though, I use passthrough. The cameras do the timestamping.

Impressive! Are any of those systems using 1920x1080 cameras?

The camera support that, but I am running them at 1280x768.

Ah right, I have a client who is wanting the cameras at 1920x1080, in a 32 camera setup. With x264 encode on, my server can only handle around 16 of them. I might look into setting it up with h264 passthrough instead, and add the timestamps at a later date.

Cheers for all this info! :)

what do i do?

the only thing i did was upgrade to ubuntu 16.04
