I use it on the desktop. When I want to see something
from the phone I just connect to ZM and look at the
image I am interested in.

But I have a couple of large screens that all I want to
see is the camera images. Right now ZMNinja had
decided that it will not display cameras 7 and 8 on a
system that I have running. At my home sistem it does
just fine. I have looked to see why it does not want to
display those two camera but so far no joy.

I would like to see just a bare bones monitor app for
a large screen. The monitor folks can use their laptops
to look at a specific camera, but the large screen is for
others who are also monitoring.
