Guess I can skip that. I have lorex cameras and they aren’t listed

It would be important to tell the user that zoneminder is coming from a third-party repository named RPMFusion and that the dnf command above only works after (installing and) enabling that third-party repository.

Are you sure it doesn’t work with your cam? They advertise that it works with any cam!

@florian Where you read this?, I’ve read it isn’t plug-and-play need some tasks

NOTE

Search in zoneminder forum with key = Lorex Cameras
Connecting to your Lorex IP camera, taking from the before post…

“use any camera”. (I know, it is probably not true)
