Welcome to the FAQ pages. There's not much in here yet but over the next few days and weeks I'll be putting in various gems of knowledge to help you if you get stuck with ZoneMinder. In the meantime please feel free to search the Forums to see if your problem has already been fixed.

If you have any suggestions for things to put in here then please post onto the forums to let me know.

How can I stop ZoneMinder from filling my disk with events? I can see 'Malformed UTF-8 character' errors in my logs, what do they mean? I have downloaded and installed Cambozola but still see a broken image instead of streaming images. What does a 'Can't shmget: Invalid argument' error in my logs mean? What does a 'Failed to set picture/window attributes' or similar error in my logs mean? Why do I have lots of zms processes running even though I'm not viewing any streams? Why does ZoneMinder on RedHat 9 leak memory and crash my machine? Why is configure complaining about not having libjpeg.a when I know it's installed and in the right place. Why is the timeline view all messed up? Why is ZoneMinder using so much CPU?
