How to realtime view multiple cameras
Viewing multiple monitors in a montage view is very simple in Zone Minder.
Create new group
From the Zone Minder home page click on on the furthest top left link (see diagram). This will open up the interface to create or select camera groups.
On the camera group page click the "New" button to open up a dialog for creating new groups. If you already have a premade group simply select the group, click apply and go on to the next subheading.
From this dialog box enter a meaningful group name and select monitor Id's that you wish to be a part of this group. ( to select more than one monitor hold down the shift key while clicking the monitor name )
Once you have made the new camera group select it from the camera group selection page and click "Apply".
Open Montage View
To view a live stream of the cameras currently in your view simply click the montage link. It is located in the top right side of the zone minder home page.
Change Montage View
From the montage view it is possible to alter the layout of the monitors. If you wish to refine which cameras will be displayed see Create new group. Changing the layout of the current camera group in the montage view is as simple as changing the value of the selection box located at the top of the page.
