3 weeks ago @connortechnology This problem is due to the systemd service. It cannot detect that the process has forked due to the following error:
New main PID does not belong to service, and PID file is not owned by root. Refusing.
So it restarts every 600 seconds as indicated in Timeout.

3 weeks ago I run several debian 12 servers here... with no issues like this. Have you made any modifications to the .service file? Please post here your /etc/systemd/system/zoneminder.service

Describe Your Environment
Describe the bug The camera is set up in continuous recording mode, camera passthrough, no analysis. Each section is recorded correctly but there is a significant amount of time (~20 seconds) between each section where nothing is recorded. When checking the logs it seems that Zoneminder is shutting down at the end of the section and then starting back up again, which causes ~20 seconds of delay.
