New install & tips

[agauthier51]

Hello All,

New to ZoneMinder & zmNinja I would like to share a few things I noticed:
* Server is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
* I installed ZM 1.29.0 from the PPA as I need the API for zmNinja,
* Much nicer export videos installing ffmpeg from repo -> add-apt-repository ppa:kirillshkrogalev/ffmpeg-next
* Just in case, I use ffmpeg version 2.4.3-1ubuntu1~trusty6, FFMPEG_OUTPUT_OPTIONS -> -r 25 -threads 2 -b:v 1835k
* Don't know if needed, I have upgraded VLC from ppa:n-muench/vlc2

Currently really happy with 2 old DLINK cameras, I am waiting the delivery of 4 new Foscam FI9853EP

Edit: For DLINK DCS-93xL recommended url is /image/jpeg.cgi, but /video.cgi gives 50% more frames...

Regards,
Arnaud
