This branch aims to support direct recording of H264 cameras into MP4 format as well as allowing analogue or remote cameras to be transcoded into H264 video on the fly. This branch tracks the modern branch as the new WebUI is where all the viewing functionality will sit. If you encounter any issues, please open an issue on GitHub and attach it to the H264 Milestone. @chriswiggins is leading this project and welcomes all help!
ZoneMinder is an integrated set of applications which provide a complete surveillance solution allowing capture, analysis, recording and monitoring of any CCTV or security cameras attached to a Linux based machine. It is designed to run on distributions which support the Video For Linux (V4L) interface and has been tested with video cameras attached to BTTV cards, various USB cameras and also supports most IP network cameras.
One level above you'll now find a deb package matching the architecture of the build host:
```bash
root@host:~# ls -1 ~/zoneminder*;
/root/zoneminder_1.26.4-1_amd64.changes
/root/zoneminder_1.26.4-1_amd64.deb
/root/zoneminder_1.26.4-1.dsc
/root/zoneminder_1.26.4-1.tar.gz
```
The dpkg command itself does not resolve dependencies. That's what high-level interfaces like aptitude and apt-get are normally for. Unfortunately, unlike RPM, there's no easy way to install a separate deb package not contained with any repository.
To overcome this "limitation" we'll use dpkg only to install the zoneminder package and apt-get to fetch all needed dependencies afterwards. Running dpkg-reconfigure in the end will ensure that the setup scripts e.g. for database provisioning were executed.

The RPMFusion repo contains significantly newer versions of ffmpeg and vlc. This leads to significantly better camera support. However, the RPMFusion repo contains packages that conflict with the other two repos. In order to resolve this, one must also install the yum priorities pacakge and use that to prioritize your repos in the following order:
