If your email time filters are incorrect with Zoneminder,it's a problem with Date::Manip. (timezones)
This fix might help. In my case I use SME Server 7.2 and it had no timezone entry, therefore defaulting to USA/Canada. (-0500 Central Daylight) 
I've just hardcoded it ("AEST" for me, Australian Eastern Standard) into my Manip.pm.

NOTE: you need to adjust for daylight saving time when it arrives.

find Manip.pm
# locate Manip.pm

fire up your fav editor (my path)
# pico /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/Date/Manip.pm

search for
# Local timezone
$Cnf{"TZ"}=""; 


edit and save with your timezone from the list below.
# Local timezone
$Cnf{"TZ"}="AEST";


Definition of time zones
A time zone item specifies an international time zone, indicated by a small set of letters.
Military time zone designations use a single letter (except j).  Zulu Time (z) is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
Here are the most common standard-time time zones, indexed by the zone hour value.
