The caution with IP cameras and zoneminder together is the significant 
increase in CPU load due to zm's transcoding, with MJPEG cameras in 
particular.  I'm running a zm here with a few older IP cams on VMware 
ESX and had to drop the framerate each time I added a camera due to the 
CPU load.  And the load of just storing the individual JPEG files is 
pretty significant if you record.
