My Zoneminder Experience from scratch

Post by scotts777 »

I wrote out a 5 page guide to setting up Zoneminder from scratch from my own experience to help out others new to Zoneminder, but it's full of links to articles and forum posts. I kept getting "Your post looks too spammy for a new user, please remote off-site URLs"

So I revised it at least 4 times replacing every URL with [forum won't let me post a URL] - (I kept missing some) and it still wouldn't let me post.

If any admin reads this, please change my account so I can post my guide. I can PM it to you if you want to vet it yourself.

I finally gave up and posted this message instead.

Try to put the information in the Wiki!

After more than 15 years, no longer using ZM as surveillance system.
Now in the dark side, using a commercial system...

Would be great to read - post it anywhere else... (or pm it - I am very interested in learning :))

I was able to get this to work. I am posting this as a reminder to add the instructions that worked for me.
I am resetting up the pc and I'll post back as soon as it's finished.

This is working real nice and I want to support it so that others can help keep the project going.

I will post back.
