	ZoneMinder can generate MPEG videos if necessary, for this you'll need either ffmpeg (recommended) or the Berkeley MPEG encoder (mpeg_encode). If you don't have either, don't worry, as the options will be hidden and you'll not really miss too much. Some of the authentication uses openssl MD5 functions, if you get a grumble about these during configuration all it will mean is that authentication won’t be used for streaming. The web interface uses PHP and so you need that in your apache or other web server as well, make sure MySQL support is available either statically or as a module. There are also various perl modules that you may need that vary depending on which options you choose on installation, for more details see later in this document.

	Finally, there is quite a bit of image streaming in the package. So if you don't have FireFox or another browser that supports image streaming natively I recommend you get the excellent Cambozola java applet from http://www.charliemouse.com:8080/code/cambozola/ which will let you view the image stream in Internet Explorer and others. Otherwise you're limited to just refreshing still images or mpeg based streams, if you have compatible plugins. As upgraded version have occasionally caused problems, a known working version of Cambozola is also in the [http://www.zoneminder.com/downloads.html Downloads] section of the ZoneMinder ~~[http://obzor.golddriver.ru/~~ website].

	Hardware-wise, ZoneMinder has been used with various video and USB cameras with the V4L interface. It will also work with most Network or IP cameras. I don't have a lot of cameras myself so I've not had chance to test it with a huge range personally. However, there are many other people who have used many other products, and there is a list of devices that are definitely known to work on the web site. Please enter you camera on the [[Supported_hardware\|Wiki list]] on zoneminder.com if your camera works and is not listed. You do need to have Video4Linux installed. In terms of computer hardware, there are no hard and fast requirements. You may get a system that works with one or two cameras going on an old P200 but you will be able to support more cameras, at a higher frame rate, with faster machines with more RAM. More guidance is available on the web forums.		Hardware-wise, ZoneMinder has been used with various video and USB cameras with the V4L interface. It will also work with most Network or IP cameras.

	~~You generally have two choices of how to install ZoneMinder.

Please note that other types of packages~~ for ~~other distributions are also usually available and normally have their own set of instructions, if necessary. These are normally listed elsewhere in~~ the ~~Wiki~~.		Installation via the traditional build-from-source method is discouraged. The current development team, along with other volunteers, have made great strides in developing better methods to get ZoneMinder installed on your distro.
