Ideas for Front end

HI all, i want to put some more time into zm4ms and the last thing i wanted to add im near completion, obviously it will continue to evolve but i need some more ideas from all here. Obvioulsy id like the little easy to impliment ideas, but am also looking for the huge, difficult to implliment ideas too. Except ANPR and facial recogniton, or anything that scares Phil!
Im assuming there are things it needs to do or another project needs to be started by me for a different type of frontend, anyway let me know as the zm4ms forum bit seems to just be filled in when i add some updates!

Cheers

James

Good news!

I think the ZM interface is Great and really quite intuitive considering its complexity. I have non-techical people who can browse and review events quite happily without bothering me all the time about how to do it.

But yes, some more flexibility would be nice.

Personally... I'd like some way to group entries on the same screen (I know you can split and only display X cams, but I'd like multiple groups on the same screen). Even if just a <HR> to seperate. Colour-coded groups?

Also: Possibly a group-icon/thumbnail and a per-camera thumbnail on the main screen to help visualise where each camera is.

A templated web interface is on the todo list!
