I have an Axis P1357. I think that it does an adequate job at motion detection. It can upload image files via ftp. What can I do to have zoneminder use these files?
One idea is to integrate this into zmtrigger. A change in the ftp directory can be used to trigger an event, which then gets handled by zoneminder as if it is coming in from a camera. A Trigger::Channel subclass could be set up to watch the directory, and handle incoming files. Is this worth doing?
My current setup is described here:

However, zmc is running constantly, just in case a signal comes in. Motion detection is off, but this seems like an unneccesary use of bandwidth, CPU, etc.
If the files uploaded via ftp can be used, then running zmc will be unnecessary.
