Here is an html file you might use in a ZM client Desktop SBC Camera Monitor to view the streams from the ZM Server. You will need to adjust the resolution, number of cameras, and monitor id of the URL to your setup.

In my experience, Clients viewing the Streams (up to 3 clients, with 20+ cameras) do not slow down the ZM Server.

For more details, see Dummies_Guide#Watching_the_Cameras

Quickly Change pixel settings for page

It should be possible to get CSS on this page, so the videos auto fill the page appropriately (haven't gotten around to it) but it's also possible to use sed here to adjust the pixels as needed

sed s/oldpx/newpx/g -i cameras.html

Refresh Page Periodically

You can do this with xdotool (see Dedicated_SBC_Camera_Monitor#Refresh_Screen_Periodically )or possibly with html:[1]

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="300">

Single Snapshot URL

The URL for a single snapshot is:

http://serverip/zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms?mode=single&monitor=2&scale=100&maxfps=5&buffer=1000&user=somename&pass=somepass

Adjust Monitor # as needed.

Alternative Single Snapshop JPG via ZMU

  1. zmu is a binary, along with zma, and zmc that can do various functions. One of them is creating a jpeg.

/usr/bin# zmu -h zmu <-d device_path> [-v] [function] [-U<username> -P<password>] zmu <-m monitor_id> [-v] [function] [-U<username> -P<password>] General options:

 -h, --help           : This screen
 -v, --verbose          : Produce more verbose output
...
 -i, --image [image_index]    : Write captured image to disk as <monitor_name>.jpg, last image captured
                  or specified ring buffer index if given.
