How To

• If you're using USB cams connected to the Raspberry Pi, use https://github.com/ghoulmann/pi-cam.
• Have unfettered internet access
• Execute the script as root
• On a remote computer, access at http://ipaddr/zm to configure cams
• Intended for a fresh install of Raspbian (mysql-server not configured yet)

Post Install

Since install was noninteractive, you'll have some significant security risks. I didn't want to script this or preseed answers because I either can't answer for others or don't want passwords dangling in plain text.

• Set MySQL server root password: sudo mysqladmin -u root password NEWPASSWORD
• Configure nullmailer: sudo dpkg-reconfigure nullmailer (have google ready)
• Set MySQL zoneminder db password: sudo mysqladmin -u admin password NEWPASSWORD. Next, you'll have to set the password in zoneminder config. Haven't tested this.
