Options

The various options you can specify are displayed in a tabbed dialog with
each group of options displayed under a different heading. Each option is
displayed with its name, a short description and the current value. You can
also click on the ‘?’ link following each description to get a fuller
explanation about each option. This is the same as you would get from
zmconfig.pl. A number of option groups have a master option near the top
which enables or disables the whole group so you should be aware of the
state of this before modifying options and expecting them to make any
difference.

If you have changed the value of an option you should then ‘save’ it. A
number of the option groups will then prompt you to let you know that the
option(s) you have changed will require a system restart. This is not done
automatically in case you will be changing many values in the same session,
however once you have made all of your changes you should restart ZoneMinder
as soon as possible. The reason for this is that web and some scripts will
pick up the new changes immediately but some of the daemons will still be
using the old values and this can lead to data inconsistency or loss.

Note

If you are looking for Options->Paths documentation, it was moved to a
configuration file starting ZoneMinder 1.32. See here.
