For small systems, cameras that provide H264 stream, or an MJPEG stream will work well. If you are scaling to a large system with many cameras, you will notice that ZM uses more resources to decode H264 video (through FFMPEG or VLC) than a comparable MJPEG camera which provides a JPEG stream or image.
