href=\"https:\/\/www.windracer.net\/blog\/2010\/06\/trendnet-internet-cameras\/\">inside<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.windracer.net\/blog\/2010\/08\/foscam-fi8904w-outdoor-internet-camera\/\">outside<\/a> the house so I could keep tabs on things while I was away. For the past year I&#8217;d just been using the built-in features of each of the cameras (motion detection, e-mail alerts, etc.) which was hit-or-miss since each manufacturer offered different features, some better implemented than others, and none of them perfect.<\/p>\n<p>This setup was fine, but I wanted to be able to better manage the system and maybe even store more history of events (or &#8220;live&#8221; video) without having it be all e-mail messages with static image attachments. That&#8217;s what prompted me to search for open source camera management software, and I that&#8217;s how I found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoneminder.com\/\">ZoneMinder<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>ZoneMinder is intended for use in single or multi-camera video security applications, including commercial or home CCTV, theft prevention and child, family member or home monitoring and other domestic care scenarios such as nanny cam installations. It supports capture, analysis, recording, and monitoring of video data coming from one or more video or network cameras attached to a Linux system.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>ZM is free (although the author accepts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoneminder.com\/contact\/\">donations<\/a>, which I&#8217;ve done) and runs on my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.windracer.net\/blog\/2010\/05\/acer-aspire-revo-3610\/\">home Linux server<\/a>. Setting it up was relatively straightforward, but tinkering with all of the cool features to tweak the system just the way I wanted it took some time. You add each of your network cameras to the ZM Console and configure the various settings so the ZoneMinder processes can access the video stream URL of the camera.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.windracer.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/zm-console.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1298\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.windracer.net\/blog\/2011\/07\/zoneminder\/zm-console\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.windracer.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/zm-console.png\" data-orig-size=\"1250,220\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"ZoneMinder console\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.windracer.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/zm-console-300x52.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.windracer.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/zm-console-1024x180.png\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1298 aligncenter\" title=\"ZoneMinder console\" src=\"https:\/\/www.windracer.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/zm-console-1024x180.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"723\" height=\"127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.windracer.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/zm-console-1024x180.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.windracer.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/zm-console-150x26.png 150w, https:\/\/www.windracer.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/zm-console-300x52.png 300w, https:\/\/www.windracer.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/zm-console.png 1250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It has a bunch of presets for popular cameras, and even supports some basic <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/PTZ_camera\">PTZ<\/a> functions (although I was unable to get this to work with my TRENDnet units).

I love that you can create multiple custom-sized detection areas and even have &#8220;preclusive&#8221; zones to prevent constant triggers by changing light levels, moving plants, etc. Since the still images are all stored on your server, ZoneMinder can &#8220;play&#8221; them back in quick succession giving you a video of the event without actually storing encoded video (although you can generate a video file with ffmpeg if you want).<\/p>\n<p>All of ZoneMinder&#8217;s configuration and logged information is stored in a MySQL database, and the images are stored on local disk (I&#8217;m using an old 1TB eSATA drive that used to be connected to one of my TiVos so I&#8217;ve got plenty of space). Since ZM is doing all of the &#8220;work&#8221; I&#8217;m no longer limited to the features of each manufacturer&#8217;s camera like the lack of time-stamping or NAS storage with the Foscams, or the limit of two square motion detection zones on the TRENDnet models. ZM does, however, put a heavier load on the network (it&#8217;s constantly pulling images from the cameras) <em>and <\/em>on the server (there&#8217;s a separate Linux process for each camera monitor plus another process for each camera that has motion detection enabled), so that&#8217;s something to keep in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Before switching to ZoneMinder, I used <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/eyecam\/id299467234\">eyeCam<\/a> on my iPhone to check on my cameras which worked very well, but now use <span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"http:\/\/eyezm.com\/\">eyeZM<\/span> which is basically an iOS interface to your ZoneMinder console. The app lets you view real-time video feeds, switch monitor functions (i.e., turn motion detection on or off), and examine archived events. Unfortunately it&#8217;s not a universal binary so you have to purchase the iPhone and iPad apps separately.<\/p>\n<p>For more details on ZoneMinder, check out the very detailed <a
