	* ~~Add support for MPEG4 as camera sources.~~		* Structural rewrite of image classes leading to much improved (but simpler to configure) motion detection
	* ~~Rewrite the existing HTML web interface as xHTML with CSS and remove use~~ of ~~tables for positioning. Also remove frames and make more use~~ of ~~Ajax~~.		* Support multicast or unicast streaming of captured of analysed streams using MPEG4/H.264 over RTP. This will reduce the load when many clients are moniutoring the streams and improve the real-time immediacy of the stream contents.
	* Restructure the web files into distinct interfaces (instead of HTML and xHTML as at present use 'classic' and 'mobile' for example). This will ~~also allow additional interfaces to be developed~~.
	* Allow mapped memory instead of shared memory
	* Support Video For Linux 2

	* Link into Darwin Streaming Server or similar to allow ZM feeds to be multicast and sent in different methods and more realtime (e.g. using 3GP type RTSP streams for streaming on mobile phones).

	* Modify the motion detection mechanism to allow chained lists of rules. This would make it easier to support user defined plugins for motion detection and other image analysis functions.		* Modify the motion detection mechanism to allow chained lists of rules.

	* Move event images above the web root to prevent direct browsing which can sometimes bypass the user permissions mechanism. Access will then always be via zms or lighter weight method.		* Move event images above the web root to prevent direct browsing which can sometimes bypass the user permissions mechanism.
