A modern skin for ZoneMinder 1.25

This is a work-in-progress of a new skin for ZoneMinder version >= 1.24 . I plan on removing many of the extra (read: usually unused) features of the WebUI and to go with a more simplistic approach, while adding web 2.0 features. To use this skin, check it out into a new zm/skins directory (I.e. zm/skins/new), then browse to http://yourzm/?skin=new

FEATURES

  • This skin has only been tested in Firefox 3.5.8 for Linux X86_64
  • I do not plan on supporting any non-standards-compliant browsers (read: IE)
  • Filtering is currently only availble by Monitor Name and Date Range
  • Monitors on Console view will ajax refresh at your WEB_REFRESH_IMAGE variable if in Low or Medium bandwidth.
  • Monitors will stream live if in High bandwidth.
  • Clicking on a monitor will "drill into" the associated events for that monitor
  • Filter by additional monitors by checking the corresponding check box.
  • Checking a monitor checkbox will automatically execute the filter (ajax)
  • Clicking on "Specific Date Range" on the Events page will allow you to search by a Date Range.
  • To search by a Date Range, enter both dates (only tested with MM/DD/YYYY) then click "Submit"

BUGS

  • ZM authentication options do not work. I'm currently using Apache's .htaccess and .htpasswd (mod_basic I suppose)

FUTURE

  • Add "netflix-like" bandwidth test to dynamically determine appropriate image streaming settings.
  • Convert to HTML5.
  • Video playback via HTML5?
  • Add "Take Snapshot" button to event playback
  • Implement widgets
