sudo apt-get install zoneminder
After more than 15 years, no longer using ZM as surveillance system.
Now in the dark side, using a commercial system...
Re: Installing on ubuntu 12.10
The package should install everything for you. After that, some of the things you want to do:
Set a value for kernel.shmmax in /etc/sysctl.conf, otherwise, you might see errors about permissions or free space for /dev/shm/zm.mmap.*
If you see the same video in all monitors and are using a bttv card:
Options -> Config -> CAPTURES_PER_FRAME -> 2
If you get permission denied for /dev/video0, add the 'www-data' user to the 'video' group.
You want to keep an eye on /var/log/syslog or ZoneMinder log page in the web interface.
