Hey folks. Man, has it been a long time since I've been around!! Feels good to be back.

Don't know if it's much consolation to anyone working with ZM and X10, but I used to attack things from a different direction by using Heyu and it's scripting to call ZM functions - ie: motion detector sees something, Heyu fires off a script (bash command line actually) to force recording from a ZM source for a given period of time.

The main reason I took such an approach was because I was using a computer that wasn't up to the task of "zone" monitoring of 6 cameras at one time. Heck, I'm not sure if any of the beasts I own today versus 4 years ago are up to the task of monitoring 6 cameras. But I'll soon find out...
