If you got redirected here it's because ZoneMinder devs have censored my name and the title Shinobi.

On their forums moeiscool is replaced with moeisnotcool and Shinobi is replaced with zoneminder.

Edit: Shinobi now filters to yahoo. Which is pretty funny :D

Key Aspects

• Records IP Cameras and Local Cameras
• Streams by WebSocket, HLS (includes audio), and MJPEG
• Save to WebM and MP4
  • Can save Audio
• API

Help make Shinobi the best Open Source CCTV Solution.

If you like Shinobi please check out some ways you can help Support Shinobi.

$5 from each person that visits the github page would be enough. Currently all hours spent on Shinobi are entirely voluntary. There is no income from sharing this program with you, so all support means a great deal.

Just a side note: Patreon is the best way to donate :)
