Hi, after some random time it stops recording to storage device even the plugin keeps sending VMD events. This problem seems to appear in version 1.36.x and forward, at 1.34.x it was working perfectly. Killing motionstream's PID and starting again is enough to record again but after some random time the problem repeats.

As additional data:
Raspbian, ZM 1.34 = works ok.
CentOS 7, ZM 1.36 = stops recording.
Fedora 33, ZM 1.37 = stops recording.

Awesome script, it's working for me after a little hacking. The H.264 supported method for configuring these cameras is to use ffmpeg. Unfortunately this populates the Path field instead of the Host field with the camera credentials in the Monitors table. It's also a different format than the script is expecting.

I noticed if I switched to remote as suggested, the script worked but I could no longer see video. However, when I switched back to ffmpeg, the script still worked! Looking deeper in the database, ZM appears to leave the configuration in the Host field even though it switches the type back to Ffmpeg . I went into the database and ran select Host,Path,Id,Name,Function from Monitors where find_in_set( Function, 'Modect,Record,Nodect,Mocord' ); I then manually updated each Host field to include the scripts preferred format user:password@ipaddress (hostnames don't work). update Monitors set Host = 'user:[email protected]' where Id = 10; The Id comes from your previous query.

I have got following errors when events occurs with Zoneminder v1.32.3:

ERR [ZoneMinder::Memory::Mapped:150] [Can't read from mapped memory for monitor '6', gone away?]
ERR [ZoneMinder::Memory::Mapped:150] [Can't read from mapped memory for monitor '6', gone away?]
Some perl libs in v1.32 are broken now?

After 12+ hours of running the script, CPU usage starts to go up and the following error repeats in the logs

ERR [Memory map file '/dev/shm/zm.mmap.' does not exist. zmc might not be running.] Jun 25 10:34:36 zmbox motionstream.pl[20369]: Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /home/jshank/HikvisionZM/motionstream.pl line 307. Jun 25 10:34:39 zmboxmotionstream.pl[20369]: Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl5/ZoneMinder/Memory/Mapped.pm line 87.

I have pretty frequent restarts of the zmc processes but it doesn't look like the script is handling them gracefully.

Wayne, thanks for putting together this nice script! I'm working with it now. Two issues that I found: I have interpreted this "_mol-" to be a substring, though within the code it's actually confirms your example that it requires it to be at the end. So I changed the script to search it as a substring so that I could use it as "hik_mol-01".

Second one was ISAPI in the REST API path. It turned out that it's not required on my camera, and I get "connection reset by peer" if I use it. So I had to remove ISAPI from the two places it's used in the code.

In the next couple of days I'll be testing it with two cameras, so I'll let you know about the multithreaded support that you have added.

PS: Hit me up on Skype if you'd like, will be glad to give you details as I go.

Hello, thank you for your work on this program! I am starting this script fine, but it seems to not be receiving PIR events from my Hikvision 2432 camera. I know the camera is triggering its own events as verified by the "Audible Warning", but I'm not sure if the camera is proving the needed XML.
When I curl -s -S -N -u zmuser:zmpass http://192.168.1.45/ISAPI/Event/notification/alertStream I get the following which keeps updating.

Here are my camera settings.

Any suggestions?
