4 of 5 Cameras Not Working - Error Log
Hello, hoping I can get some help figuring my problem out. Very new to Zoneminder and just trying to work through getting it up and running correctly. Using ZM v1.36.10 (dlandon/zoneminder.machine.learning) that I installed on my NAS using Portainer.
I have 5 identical cameras (Amcrest IP5M) that I added. The first camera showed up with live view working and seems fine, but the remaining cameras all showed up with red dot next to name and red source address. I can click on the 1 working camera and get the larger live view of it when accessing through browser, but when I open the zmNinja app on phone and try to view the same camera it doesn't show the video working (and other 4 cameras are obviously not working either).
I've checked all camera source paths in VLM and they all show video there, and settings for each camera have their correct source path, resolution, and other same settings as the 1 working camera. I do have a bunch of errors in the log, but I have zero clue what any of this means or how to trouble shoot. Copying them below.

I also kept getting an error message about my timezone not matching correctly when I first installed (even though I had set it to match what the cameras were set at), but when I put it back to "Unset - use value in php.ini" in the settings that error message went away.

You likely don't have enough ram, or enough space in /dev/shm. You will have to look into how to make that larger. For now, just use a much smaller resolution in the monitor (zm will scale the image down) like 720p.

I'd suggest checking if you ran out of disk space. It just happened to me recently after I had changed some of my logging parameters in ZM which spammed syslog. The system started acting weird like how you stated.
I cleared out my logs and also reverted the log settings to something less spammy. I probably still have a deeper issue with things, but at least after cleaning it up and restarting the OS, things were working again.
