| Zoneminder 1.26.4-2 on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit
| |
|
| |
|
| This installation uses Zoneminder from the Launchpad PPA sources. Zoneminder in Ubuntu since the 11.10 version is compiled with the mmap option. I am running an Optiplex 755 with a dual core processor, 4 GIG RAM and 160 GIG hard drive. I have 12 Linksys IP cameras with Modect operational. I have run this install and have set up the 12 cameras in about an hour!
| |
|
| |
| Note: This also works for Ubuntu 13.04. I have also tested this with a Ubuntu desktop install on 12.04 and 13.04. I tested this with Teamviewer for Linux to enable a client to view cameras without the need for port forwarding and/or dynamic DNS. Setting this up is an entire topic in itself!
