This will forever be Beta. I'm using the awesome [Electron packager] (https://electron.atom.io) to auto-package my ionic apps to executables.

Please download binaries for Win 7, Linux or Mac from here.

Please make sure you download the correct ZIP file (32/64 bit)

• H264 video branch support - if you are using the zoneminder video branch and have recorded videos they will automatically be used (you can disable it in developer settings). If an event has a recorded video, you will see a small video icon at the top of that event entry in events view

• Receive real time push notifications for alarms as they happen. You need to install my Event Server for this. You can even control monitors you want to be notified of and reporting intervals (if you defined your zones loosely you don't want pings every second, do you?)

• Runs on Android/iOS and now desktops too - in a browser

• View live monitors and events

• High speed event scrubbing and control

• Pullup handy views of activities based on time

• Incredible zoom/pan timeline of alarms

• Control Zoneminder - restart, change states

• Swipe/pan between monitors

To the zonemider community in general, and the awesome Stack Overflow community. But specifically, Andrew Bauer (knnniggett) - he is a ZoneMinder maintainer and helped me significantly in getting into ZoneMinder and also continues to help me with my client goals.

• zmNinja needs APIs enabled in ZoneMinder. See https://github.com/pliablepixels/zmNinja/wiki/Configuring-ZoneMinder-with-API

I wanted to learn how to create a full fledged cross platform app for a long time. I used this as an excuse to learn Angular JS, phoneGap and ionic and see if one could use these modern tools to build high performance phonegap apps. I was very pleasantly surprised -- for a large part, most people who complain about performance probably haven't spent time researching how to optimize.

I'll keep refining it over time as I learn more of AngularJS and stuff.

Please follow these instructions.
