I am in the middle of testing it now. Just set it up with modetect,
and it seems to be working well. Had a couple IP cams, and they are
the ONE model zoneminder says will not work :) So far testing is via
a simple capture card with two interfaces. Looks good, and a real
plus for me is the Zoneminder app for my IPod.<br>

Is zoneminder a good solution for a camera security system,
or is there a better solution?<br>
<br>
Would like to use IP or BNC/RCA camera, with DVR capability.<br>
