- <h2><b> What is ZM base URL, portal alias and API path</b> </h2> Okay, there are multiple ways you can install ZoneMinder. For example, let's say you access zoneminder via http://yourserver.com:8000/zm. Then, http://yoursever.com:8000 is the base portal URL and the alias is zm. It's important you get these right, otherwise the app won't be able to display the data.

- <h2> <b>What should I be entering in the Base URL and API URL?</b></h2> The base url is typically of the format "http://yourserver:port/" (don't specify zm) The API url is typically of the format "http://yourserver:port/zm/api" But it depends on how you've installed ZoneMinder
