Very new to ZoneMinder

Post by newby4life »

I have recently installed ZoneMinder as a test for our security system. I finally got most of the bugs figured out thanks to the forum. I have a 31 camera system that vary in age and resolution that are deployed. As a company we are trying to transition from another service that is on a 2008 server and dying. The system is on a dedicated server that has 192 GB of Ram and 6.4TB of hard drive space. The issues I have are 2 fold. I want to be able to set up 4 separate monitors with all of the cameras that can be deployed on monitors with a minimal amount of input required for the security team to view. I have built groups but do not have the knowledge on how to set it up for the security team. Additionally in the event of power outage I would like for ZM to automatically restart and deploy back to those dedicated monitors. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. I am on Ubuntu 22.04 and ZM 1.36.33

I would suggest hiring the ZoneMinder developers to assist you. You can reach out to me directly at isaac@zoneminder.com for that.

The 4 monitor thing sounds like a digital signage appiication... as in... put a raspberry pi on each monitor, and run the browser in kiosk mode with default home page being the montage with a certain group selected.
