This is a guide for setting up ZoneMinder on FreeBSD 9.3.
*NOTE*: Zoneminder will not work in a jail because it required the use of shared memory. If you still want to install zoneminder in a jail you can enable shared memory in jails by enabling, which can be found "here":http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11909993/freebsd-jail-can-not-set-security-jail-sysvipc-allowed
