	*All things are possible and the example someone posted a while back of detecting trucks and buses, but not cars, passing over a distant intersection is probably appropriate for you. What I would suggest you need are quite high pixel differences (indicating difference from the background) and pretty small counts of changed pixels or blob sizes. You might find it useful to turn on diagnostic images initially (and only for a while as they slow everything down a lot) which will output what ZM thinks the differences etc are are in the images.		*All things are possible and the example someone posted a while back of detecting trucks and buses, but not cars, passing over a distant intersection is probably appropriate for you.

	There are many parameters to be adjusted. So many, in fact, that it is easy to change just a few parameters, and create a config that does not do what you want at all. It is all so confusing. Here, we will attempt to document some basic configs, and explain in some detail the effects that each parameter will have and how each parameter relates to the other parameters.

			For small one or two camera systems with few events the default MySQL settings should work quite well. Hi resolution cameras with lots of activity or monitors on Record or Mocord will run up thousands of events in short order. This will put a strain on MySQL with default settings.

Added note about ZM improperly detecting MJPEG streaming in newer IE versions, not using Cambozola

	Once I did this, images started to stream for me.		Once I did this, images started to stream for me.

			NOTE: If you find that Cambozola doesn't load in IE at all, but instead you get a black 'X' where the video should be, Zoneminder is incorrectly detecting that your IE can handle MJPEG streams. To fix, go to '''Options''' then '''High B/W''', '''Medium B/W''', or '''Low B/W''' (depending on which you use) and set the option '''Override the automatic detection of browser streaming capability''' to "no". This will force all browsers to use Cambozola. Also, with modern versions of Java, you'll probably also have to go into your Control Panel to the Java options and add the URL of your Zoneminder instance to your Exception Site List, due to the fact that Cambozola.jar is self-signed. Otherwise you'll get a Java message '''Application Blocked by Security Settings'''
