The ZoneMinder component sets up the integration with your [ZoneMinder](https://www.zoneminder.com) instance so that [cameras](/components/camera.zoneminder/), [sensors](/components/sensor.zoneminder/), and [switches](/components/switch.zoneminder) can use it.

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
zoneminder:
  host: ZM_HOST
```

Configuration variables:
- **host** (*Required*): Your ZoneMinder server's host (and optional port), not including the scheme.
- **path** (*Optional*): Path to your ZoneMinder install. Defaults to `/zm/`.
- **path_zms** (*Optional*): Path to the CGI script for streaming. This should match `PATH_ZMS` in ZM's "Paths" settings. Defaults to `/zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms`.
- **ssl** (*Optional*): Set to `True` if your ZoneMinder installation is using SSL. Default to `False`.
- **username** (*Optional*): Your ZoneMinder username.
- **password** (*Optional*): Your ZoneMinder password. Required if `OPT_USE_AUTH` is enabled in ZM.
