I often check on my cameras from my Blackberry or work computer.

The way I have done this is by setting up port forwarding on my broadband router, then passing an external port in to the ZM server.

The problem with that is everything is through http, which is clear text.
Are there any ways to enable https, or some type of encryption end-to-end?

From my work computer, I could do it through SSH, and tunnel the ports through that, but I would like to be able to check on things from any public computer if needed.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Couldn't this be accomplished by changing apache / apache2 to https instead? AIUI, enabling https with apache is quite well documented on the web.

Might add a fair bit of cpu overhead per access, but that might be acceptable if you don't hammer it.

I just so happen to have recently done something simmaler. You need to go look up php-curl they are many samples available online. You should even be able to setup a catch so you dont kill your home connection.

OR

use php inlcude with the camera path (its in the wiki)
