Web interface login timeout

Hey all, Searched the forums and google and couldn't find anything related to this. For my ZM server I have the web interface open in my office on montage mode so that I Can watch all the cameras. The problem I am having is that eventually the login times out. I notice this because some of the cameras stop refreshing and just stay black. If I refresh the montage page I get brought back to the login page.

I am looking for a way to keep myself logged in for long periods of time (forever preferably). Before I go dig through the code to try and adjust it, I figured I would ask here and see if any of you know of a way to extend the login times for the web interface.


Thank you.

Seems that authentication is done into /usr/share/zoneminder/www/includes/functions.php which stores it to Session, which goes away with browser closing...

wow this is an old post!

I ended up moving away from zoneminder once I replaced my cameras with IPCams because zoneminder cant handle more than 10 1080p video feeds. I switched to BlueIris
