Adding Monitors
There are several methods for adding Monitors in ZoneMinder. Most commonly
 one will use Manual entry in which each tab is completed with the
 appropriate information. There are several ways to identify and add
 Monitors through network scanning, ONVIF probing and available presets
 that can enter partial Monitor information. However, even with these aids,
 one will still need to review the appropriate Monitor tabs and enter or
 confirm the required information.

Manual Entry: Use the +ADD link on Console and enter the Monitor
 information manually into each tab. Enter Monitor configuration by
 selecting each tab described in the sections below and entering the
 configuration.

Scan Network: Use the SCAN NETWORK link on Console and select the network
 device from the list. It will still be necessary to review all Monitor
 tabs and confirm all settings.

Monitor Probe: Use the +ADD link then the Probe icon link in the Monitor
 General Tab. It will still be necessary to review all Monitor tabs and
 confirm all settings.

ONVIF Probe: Use the +ADD link then the ONVIF icon link in the Monitor
 General Tab. ZoneMinder can use ONVIF protocol to locate cameras on the
 network and fill in some of the Monitor configuration. It will still be
 necessary to review all Monitor tabs and confirm all settings.

Presets: Use the +ADD link then the Presets icon link in the Monitor
 General Tab. ZoneMinder contains a small database of cameras and can fill
 in some of the monitor configuration. It will still be necessary to review
 all Monitor tabs and confirm all settings.

ZoneMinder Monitor setup includes not only the basic stream settings such
 as the source path and resolution but also settings related to analysis,
 recording, PTZ control, time stamping, RTSP re-streaming, and much more.
 As such, the Monitor options are divided into a set of tabs related to
 each category to facilitate configuration. One note regarding Monitor tabs
 is that it is not necessary to SAVE each tab separately. Before leaving
 the Monitor setup one can click SAVE on any tab to update the Monitor
 settings. It is recommended that Monitor entry starts with the General tab
 and then steps to each successive tab below. Monitor tabs are explained in
 more detail in the sections below.
