![]() During my testing the first problem I found was that, while Docker is now a recommended installation method, all of the official Dockerfiles and most of the others that I could find run it in a single super-container with every process, including MySQL and all of the web tier (which ends up being 20-something processes). When I started actually looking into it, though, my expectations decreased significantly. It’s probably most famous for allowing the user to select various “zones” (regions of the image) with different motion detection sensitivity levels, including completely ignoring certain areas. It’s an incredibly mature and long-lived project - first released in 2002 - and for a long time seems to have been the only option. ZoneMinder seems to be what everyone talks about when the topic of Linux-based open source surveillance software comes up. I expect to be able to get something at least minimally working within that amount of time. I can’t say that I dove deep into all, or even any, of these options but I gave each of them at least four hours (and quite more than that for some of them) of experimentation. That may be unfair for some of them, but it’s both how I intend on deploying the final choice and my preferred deployment strategy lately in general. ![]() I did all of my initial tests in Docker since I was testing each of these on my main computer and didn’t want to clutter up the system, and I also really like using Docker for testing and deployment of software. ![]() I saw a few other possibilities online, but they didn’t fit the above criteria. After some investigation and reading of feature lists, I came up with two other, much newer, contenders in Shinobi and Kerberos.io. Right away I knew two of the projects I wanted to look at: ZoneMinder, which I’ve heard many people mention and seems to be the de-facto standard in open-source video surveillance, and Motion which I’ve used before and only knew as a limited and somewhat archaic daemon.
