NOTES
*I was unable to get my webcam to work without mjpg_streamer
*Host Port should be whatever you set it to in the mjpg_streamer call
*I had to set mjpg_streamer & zoneminder to 320x240 to get it to work
*I had to chose /dev/video1 because the default (/dev/video0) was the built in webcam on my laptop

ERRORS
*2012-09-17 20:57:30.000889	zms	3684	ERR	Terminating, last frame sent time 10.011587 secs more than maximum of 10.000000	zm_monitor.cpp	3639
**This seems to be caused by incorrect resolution (or possibly other settings) in mjpg_streamer+zoneminder (ie: a resolution it can't handle... try 320 x 240)
*2012-09-17 20:16:33.085866	zms	2484	ERR	Got unexpected memory map file size 9217192, expected 36865192	zm_monitor.cpp	364
**This seems to be caused by having a resolution that is wrong and/or by having some memory settings wrong.
**edit /etc/sysctl.conf and type "kernel.shmall = 167772160" and "kernel.shmmax = 167772160" at the bottom of the file.  This appears to fix the memory map issue.  Error may still occur if some ZoneMinder settings are wrong.
