A full-featured, open source, state-of-the-art video surveillance software system.
Zoneminder is a pretty solid setup for IP security cameras, and the zmninja app is really nice too. I had tried it years ago but got back to it recently with some sketchy IP cameras. I just put them in their own VLAN, no Internet access, Zoneminder does motion detection and event recording, and so far I’m quite pleased with it.
I have blue iris and half a dozen cameras. My blue iris support has expired, and because of a notifications bug I can’t get notifications anymore unless I upgrade for another year. How does zoneminder compare to blue iris and deepastack? Is it worth switching? It looks like zoneminder is free. Are there any other costs involved?
