I keep getting and error from my cameras which are coming in from zoneminder. It looks something like this:
Update of sensor.driveway_cam_day_status is taking over 10 seconds
6:20 PM util/async_.py (WARNING)
I get my cameras to show up and they seem to be updating however this is filling up my log file which makes it hard to troubleshoot other issues. Is there some way to fix this one?
I have this problem as well. Were you able to come up with a solution?
No I still get these errors.
I see that for several switches, but not enough to fill the log and make it unreadable.
Cause could be a network problem. Looks by its name that your camera is outside, is the WiFi signal weak ?
Is ZM in monitor or modect mode when this happens ?
With Zoneminder, lots of problems can happen when network isn’t at its best. I have 5 cams (3 inside, 2 outside) and my networks configuration has 2 access points WiFi 1750AC connected at 1Gbs to a firewall… When everything works fine, cameras use “olny” 20Mbs. Everything should be fine.
But… I had one camera, that caused another camera to fail, when connected to the weakest access point it could reach. It was connected at 1Mbs. The other camera was connected to the same AP at 72Mbs, but still, this one was failing, probably because the AP was slowed down. this made no error in HA, but zma/zmc processes in ZM crashed/restarted all the time. If I force this camera to the other access point, it connects at 15Mbs, and everything works fine !
All my cameras are outside but I have them all hardwired so there really shouldn’t be any issue with access points.
Can you check the network statistics ? Data rates, switch usage etc etc… See if ZM is actually seeing the camera when it fails, see if the zma and zmc processes for this camera stop/start when it happens (sign of network troubles), anything in the logs on ZM side etc etc…
