ZoneMinder Forums

Can different zoneminder instances write to the same database? Say if I have two or more computers capturing from cameras and they all set up to store to the same mysql server.

Thanks in advance,

just use a prefix for your table and tell the php stuff to go there for database transactions. Use something like t1_zm and t2_zm.

No it's not that simple.
You can use the same database server and create a database for each instance, otherwise you will need to change code in the zm binaries and the php code to suit your needs.
