Description

Installing zoneminder on Ubuntu is a very simple task, as it is included in many distribution repositories be default. This guide will be installing on a minimal Lubuntu 14.04 64-bit system.

  • Start by opening a terminal by going to Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal
  • Then install the package:
    sudo apt-get install zoneminder

    NOTE: This will install apache2 along with any of the dependencies required by zonemineder.
  • When the package finished installing, create a symbolic link of the zoneminder web server configuration to the apache sites-enabled folder:
    sudo ln -s /etc/zm/apache.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/zoneminder.conf
  • Then restart the web server:
    sudo service apache2 restart

With the above steps finished the camera server can now be configured to monitor USB cameras, IP cameras, and other camera streams.
