Improve event montage view

[3esmit]

This option will keep replaying the latest 'n' events from each camera. zmNinja should ask api the latest 'n' events id from zoneminder, download and cache them in temporary folder to avoid excessive mobile data.

zmNinja should always priorize fresh events with big alarm points, and this data should be visible in a easy to understand way - there is no need to show year, month, nither day of month. The alarm points can be showd as a blue-to-red square/backgroud or a small progressbar. Example: [camera 1] [2 minutes ago] [zone 'door'] [points 25/100]

Tapping on a playing event should open the event to provide user handy analysis of event. Swiping left skips to the previous event, and swiping right skips to the next event.
Another essential feature is listen for alarms in cameras, and when a alarm happens stop the event cycle and showup live alarm(s).
The alarmed cameras should have some kind of 'bold' to call user attention, can be a shake animation, a background change color, a size increase transformation. The bold effect could be configurable to alert for some configurable time or proportional to the alarm points.

My use case of this software is running always open in a television, so would be nice if it play a sound on event, also will be nice to have this option could be scheduled so it don't trigger events in moments its normal to have events (but the mute from television is an easy workaround)

I believe this is an important feature as it will save a lot of network data and will be easier to see what just happens.
If I hear a noise outside I just have to look at smart events montage, and don't have the time consuming task of going to events and see if something happen in the last minute in each camera.

I have many questions here - will get back to it after I make my next release

[3esmit]

Just to help with the 'too many questions', I'm listing the suggestions.

Main ideas:

• Option to always set time range filter to last hour/day and/or last 'n' events
• Add nav: +1 day/hour -1 day/hour ~ and button to jump to 'today'
• Cache event loop
• Option to overlay when monitor alerts modect
• Double tapping an event opens the event playback

Secondary ideas:

• Bold/Animate alarmed monitor
• Single tapping pauses the event
• Gestures to go to next/prev event
• Show alarm points in a heat indicator
• Option to priorize events with more alarm points

Maybe I edit this later, but for now is this...

On the monitor flashing with new alarms - that is already supported if you install the event server. Are you talking about something else?
