Self-Hosted Security Camera Software

MotionEye is a network camera surveillance system and containerized surveillance manager. It functions as a web-based management interface for the motion daemon, providing a centralized platform to monitor live video feeds and control motion detection rules for multiple IP and USB cameras. The system allows for the administration of the motion daemon through a visual dashboard, where users can define triggers and recording rules based on visual movement detected by camera sensors. It is designed to run in isolated environments with persistent storage for video recordings and configuration set

ZoneMinder is a free, open source Closed-circuit television software application developed for Linux which supports IP, USB and Analog cameras.

Scrypted is a video integration platform that connects IP cameras and NVRs into smart home ecosystems such as HomeKit, Google Home, Alexa, and Home Assistant. It functions as both an NVR software for recording and playing back continuous video footage, and an object detection engine that analyzes live camera feeds to identify motion, people, vehicles, and other objects. The platform distinguishes itself through its ability to transcode and forward live camera streams to multiple smart home platforms simultaneously, enabling unified viewing and control across all connected devices. It includes

Frigate is a self-hosted network video recorder that functions as a private, local AI-powered vision engine. It manages video streams by performing real-time object detection, tracking, and classification directly on local hardware, ensuring that security monitoring and activity recording remain independent of cloud services. The system distinguishes itself through a modular, hardware-accelerated video pipeline that offloads intensive decoding and machine learning inference to dedicated GPUs, NPUs, or specialized accelerators like Coral TPUs and Hailo modules. It utilizes state-based object t

MotionEyeOS is a dedicated operating system designed to transform a single board computer into a video surveillance station. It provides a centralized environment for monitoring and recording multiple video feeds. The system enables remote camera management through a unified web interface, allowing for the control and configuration of networked security cameras. It supports automated video recording based on motion detection to monitor specific areas without requiring constant manual recording. The software incorporates a Debian-based root filesystem and a Python-based backend to orchestrate

Motion is network camera surveillance software and a video motion detection system. It ingests video signals from IP cameras and hardware capture cards to provide real-time security monitoring, automated movement detection, and secure web-based streaming. The system functions as a video activity logger, recording event history and metadata into databases for long-term tracking. It can automatically trigger external scripts or software tools in response to detected motion and save video clips or still images to create a record of events. The software supports concurrent processing of multiple

Moonfire-NVR is a self-hosted network video recorder designed to capture, archive, and manage video streams from IP cameras. It functions as a security surveillance platform that provides a web-based interface for monitoring live feeds, browsing historical recordings, and exporting specific video clips for review. The system distinguishes itself by recording H.264 and H.265 video streams directly to disk without re-encoding, which minimizes CPU usage and preserves original stream quality. It utilizes on-the-fly container remuxing to construct standard media files from stored segments, allowin

Camera.ui is a self-hosted network video recorder that provides a centralized dashboard for managing live surveillance feeds, continuous video recording, and automated security monitoring. It functions as an integrated platform that combines video stream management with an artificial intelligence engine to identify objects and events directly on local hardware. The system distinguishes itself through its event-driven architecture, which utilizes a messaging broker to decouple hardware state updates from automation logic. This allows for deep integration with smart home ecosystems, enabling us

This project is a computer vision-based security platform designed for real-time property surveillance and automated threat detection. It integrates live video stream management with neural network processing to monitor, track, and identify individuals within a monitored environment. The system distinguishes itself through local identity management, which allows users to train classifiers on specific individuals and store facial embeddings directly on the local system. By combining this biometric analysis with event-driven logic, the platform can differentiate between known persons and unknow

WVP-GB28181-Pro is a video surveillance platform built around the GB28181 standard, functioning as a streaming media server that manages GB28181-compliant cameras and NVRs. It also serves as a JT/T 808 vehicle gateway, bridging JT/T 808 and JT/T 1078 vehicle devices into the surveillance network, and acts as a multi-protocol video aggregator that unifies GB28181, JT/T 808, JT/T 1078, and ONVIF protocols under a single management interface. The platform supports NAT traversal for connecting devices across different network segments and ingests video from GB28181, ONVIF, and RTSP sources, output
