Hey aptalca. I have done some further testing and it seems that there is an issue with the zoneminder docker. I recently made a fresh install of zoneminder on a separate linux mint 17.1 installation to cross compare using the following guide: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_Server_14.04_64-bit_with_Zoneminder_1.26.5_the_easy_way Under this installation I have all my cameras working at full resolution (1280x800) whereas on the docker version I was only able to get a single camera running at downgraded res (640x480). The cameras I have are identical models. Some reference info is below. Let me know if you need additional info. With docker image (zoneminder v1.28.1): - first camera added works with 640x480 res only. Any additional monitors/cameras (regardless of resolution setting) results in log errors ("zmc crashed" etc) and no video feed. With linux mint 17.1 install (zoneminder v1.28.1): - all three cameras work at full res (1280x800) with no errors. - I am using the same settings for these cameras. Specifically... source: remote, function: modetect, protocol: http, method: simple, path: /axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?resolution=1280x800

Hey aptalca. Thanks for the info. I will give these a shot and report back.

Excellent! modetect seems to be working now. Just one additional snag... 1280x800 is the default/max resolution for my camera however I can't seem to get zoneminder to work with anything higher than 640x480. Going higher results in a blank feed and the following errors: zmdc[627]: INF ['zmc -m 1' crashed, signal 6] zmdc[627]: ERR ['zma -m 1' exited abnormally, exit status 255] zmdc[627]: INF [starting pending process, zmc -m 1] zmdc[627]: INF ['zmc -m 1' starting at 15/05/21 03:31:19, pid = 9418] zmdc[9418]: INF ['zmc -m 1' started at 15/05/21 03:31:19] zmdc[627]: INF [starting pending process, zma -m 1] zmdc[627]: INF ['zma -m 1' starting at 15/05/21 03:31:19, pid = 9419] zmdc[9419]: INF ['zma -m 1' started at 15/05/21 03:31:19] zma_m1[9419]: ERR [shared data not initialised by capture daemon for monitor DRIVEWAY] zmdc[627]: ERR ['zma -m 1' exited abnormally, exit status 255] zmdc[627]: INF ['zmc -m 1' crashed, signal 6] These are my settings @ 640x480 for reference (camera is an Axis M3024-LVE): Source Type: Remote Function: Modetect Max FPS: <blank> Alarm Max FPS: <blank> Remote Protocol: HTTP Remote Method: Simple Remote Host Name: <user:password>@<cam-ip> Remote Host Port: 80 Remote Host Path: /axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?resolution=640x480 Target Colorspace: 24 bit Capture Width (pixels): 640 Capture Height (pixels): 480 Let me know what you think. Thanks.

No worries. I gave the updated container a try as well and I definitely see an improvement since those previous errors are no longer popping up (I can set the zones and the cameras are listed in green on the main page for modetect which is good). Right now it seems that although I am getting the live feed into zoneminder it isn't picking up on motion events and/or recording them. That is to say all events etc remain at zero. I am completely new to zoneminder so I might be missing something in the settings (right now most settings are at the defaults). I have one additional error that pops up from time to time so I am not sure if it is related: "Shared data not initialised by capture daemon, some query functions may not be available or produce invalid results for monitor DRIVEWAY" I am using axis cameras. Let me know if have any ideas. Thanks!

Hey Aptalca. Thanks for the Zoneminder docker, I am giving this one a go. Right now it is giving me the following errors (on a repeating basis) once I add a camera labeled "DRIVEWAY": 'zma -m 1' exited abnormally, exit status 255 Can't symlink '1' to 'DRIVEWAY': Permission denied Can't make events/1: Permission denied 'zma -m 1' started at 15/05/19 01:12:18 'zma -m 1' starting at 15/05/19 01:12:18, pid = 1143 Starting pending process, zma -m 1 DRIVEWAY: 1000 - Capturing at 2.00 fps Can't open Zones1.jpg: Permission denied I tried to search around for what might be the issue and I found the following article: http://lachlanmiskin.com/blog/2012/06/24/zoneminder-cant-symlink-to-monitor-permission-denied/ I tried the suggestion but it did not work stating that "www-data is not a user". Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

16GB. Just upgraded to a new rig. Was 8GB before...

+1 Yes please. I need 5.0 to throw some 3TB drives in... I really need the space....
