Re: Setup recommendations
That is a lot to take in. A few comments: Make sure you vet the cameras before investing in all of them. Some cameras are less reliable than others. You don't want to invest in a number of cameras to have them drop out occasionally. CAT5 is enough most of the time. But, run CAT6 if you wish. ZM has ...

Re: what do i need for hardware? looking to upgrade to ZoneMinder.
Technically you can, but for practical purposes I would say it depends on how many cameras you have. 1-4 cameras, then go ahead and put it on the same server. For >10 cameras, you would want a dedicated server. There is a docker image you can try (I haven't used it in production). Wifi cameras are n...

Re: Requirements
4 720p or 1080p cameras with an i5-3210M (two cores) will probably be ok. Though, keep in mind that you will have to limit the framerate (on the cameras webpage). 5 FPS for 4 cameras should be doable, but 30FPS for 4 cameras... You would need to test. You are essentially watching a number of video s...

Re: External storage
Did you chown the mount to www-data (deb) or apache (centos)?

Re: Rebuilt Pi 4 4G w/1T SSD
Post logs. You will have slowdown running X / chromium on the Pi. I would advise against doing that. Are you able to get one camera working? Try one first. Don't setup all of them at once. You have posted other similar posts, where I think you managed to get it working with GPU_MEM set to 512 on the...

Re: refresher on adding ip cams again.
It would be helpful if you could detail what paths you used to get the camera working. Other people will come across these posts, and would benefit in that knowledge.

For offloading camera motion detection. It's already in ZM. https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Axis_Motion_Detection How it is implemented depends on the camera.
