This page contain's various learnings related to ZoneMinder 1.28.1 as  I got it to install (easy) and work well (not so easy) on a Ubuntu Server distribution. I'll be adding many sub pages for various tips and tricks. Hope toy find it useful. You can contact me by searching for user 'asker' on the ZoneMinder forums. I don't claim to be a ZM expert, so feel free to correct my observations. A lot of these tips come from other Zoneminder forum members. I'll attribute credits where I remember.
Most of these were written when I first discovered ZoneMinder in 2015. ZM 1.28 was the stable release then.  


Note that I am not putting this under the "distribution specific guides" as a lot of what I will document don't only map to Ubuntu.
