Zoneminder

ZoneMinder provides a complete surveillance suite for Linux systems, handling capture, analysis, recording and monitoring of CCTV feeds. It works with Video‑For‑Linux devices, USB cameras, analog inputs via captureTV cards and a wide range of IP network cameras, allowing users to build systems from a single webcam to large multi‑camera deployments. The software runs as a set of integrated applications that store video, generate events and offer live viewing through web interfaces and third‑party tools such as zmNinja.

The platform is self‑hostable, free of subscription fees and released under the GPL‑2.0 license, making it suitable for home security, office monitoring, industrial or commercial installations where control of data is required. It supports extensive camera lists, offers APIs for integration, and can be extended with external modules for tasks like license‑plate recognition or object detection.

Installation is simplified through maintained packages for major Linux distributions, and Docker images are also provided. Documentation is hosted online, and a community of developers and users contributes to ongoing development and support.
