Zoneminder + 2 different network interfaces

Hello, this is my first post here so pardon if I miss someting here. I havent found answer the problem we have with our cameras and Zoneminder so here comes: We are about to run zoneminder server as an gateway to private camera network(cameras are not connected to public internet or even our office network, cameras has a private security network), so that the server records through second interface and first one is used to server administration etc operations. I have installed the server up and running, set up all camers and they work ( Recording works, and I can see the cameras online in the web interface) but got the second network card today. after card installation I have set up ip address and other network confs. question is, how I tell to zoneminder that camera stream is not coming through eth0, but it comes from eth1. I have not figured this out, because all cameras seems to be offline now, but they work without the second interface as I wrote...

Hope I understand you correctly,

The assuming second card is set to a different subnet, so when you set the cameras source within Zoneminder, the IP needs to change to whatever your cameras subnet is on the second eth card.

I do this without DHCP on my second ethernet card and setting all cameras with a static IP within that subnet

for example,
eth0 192.168.1.1 (subnet where the internet and all home network resides)
eth1 192.168.0.1 (camera zone, all cameras have static IP's 192.168.0.x)

Cameras plugged into the switch on eth1 get no internet, no DHCP and cannot connect unless they have a static IP within my set IP table rules.
