Does anyone know how to create a switch that could toggle the recording function of ZM? When I'm away, I have a cat sitter that does a great job and I don't want to make her anxious knowing she is being recorded while taking care of my kitty. She deactivates my Ademco Honeywell 20P alarm system at ...

New Intel Atom D510 motherboard and Zoneminder

I just purchased the new Intel motherboard based on the Atom D510 (part # BOXD510MO) that came out last week.

Curtis, Thanks for the assistance. Can you recommend a specific card that you have at BlueCherry that would work with that board & processor? I wasn't sure if the form factor of the board was an issue or not. The Intel specs say one PCI slot. I don't need to record video on the local hard drive ...

Since a small solid-state type of pc would not accommodate a PCI or PCI-E card, is there a way to put the capture card in another box and then plug it in through USB into the pc? I know Hewlett Packard makes a PCI Expansion Module, model GZ286AA. Not sure if that type of thing would work for this or ...

Low power, fanless, solid state DVR and six analog cameras?

I'd like to start using ZoneMinder but just want a lightweight, low-power, fanless, solid-state type DVR instead of a traditional PC. I'd like to have six analog cameras (to save expenses over network ...
