Gregg,
Well that was easy! Getting motion detection, telemetry data,
hbeats.... Very cool!
It'll take a while to see how i'm going to interface things but some
initial comments so far:
my paths were /etc/zm.conf , /usr/lib/zm/bin/ ,
/usr/lib/perl5/site-perl/5.8.5/ and these came from the rpm so i'm
guessing that's where most will be now.
It didn't mention in the readme that you need to go into global options
and enable x10, obvious now but not for a zm newbie!
The readme mentions xAPBSC. where the schemas areVMI.
Is there a way to make the regular .MonitorInfo send every 5 min rather
than the current 1
I see the schema for telemetry events, ie sent when a camera moves but
can't see the one to tell the camera to move? Is there one?
Many thanks for this plugin, more and more toys to play with :-)

That icing is more likely once I get a PTZ ;) Seriously, though, I had
though about that and would likely make the attempt if there's interest.
I probably need to make getting a base level of documentation and the
