Multi Port
All browsers currently have a limitation where there can only be 6 connections to a server. This can be gotten around by using multi port, or by adjusting the firefox about:config setting.
Multi Port
For reference see: https://medium.com/zmninja/multi-port-storage-areas-and-more-d5836a336c93 Note: article written by a developer of Zoneminder.
Here are some quick configs for 50 cameras. Note: The below config has been confirmed to work with only HTTP. Https may need additional configuration. If you get an error about missing > bracket, make it so all these _default_:#### are on one line. Then it will work. It's not easy to read it in that format, so it has been justified for easier viewing here.

Firefox About:Config
In firefox you can make a change to the configuration to get cameras to display. First go to about:config . And adjust Network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server. The max persistent connections per server must be > 6 in order to see > 6 camera streams. It can be set to any number, so perhaps you might set it to 100 or 150.
