Maybe he just means the montage link on the main directory of cameras. You do have to have more than one camera, but not more than one monitor?

Look at screen shot from the zoneminder website:

Is this some kind of language confusion here?

I use the feature of ZoneMinder on a computer with 4 monitors. I have four flat-panel LCD displays connected to my dual PCI Express Nvidia Graphics adapter... using DVI video cables.

How exactly does Montage relate to multiple computer monitors?

It works for me on a SINGLE monitor equally to multiple monitors.

Do you mean "cameras", "input sources"?
