Yes of course it won't - because it was built with that cross platform nonsense.
Ionic and cordova use the integrated into either IoS or Android web browser (WebView) to essentially draw windows and such in the Web browser then use that as a rendering engine. The Android browser is based On the Chromium engine which has a restriction of a maximum of 6 incoming streams thus 6 windows thus 6 cameras. Find a crappy old PC and plug in a giant monitor then load Linux then use Firefox on it and you can display the 8 cameras.

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.
