ZoneMinder Forums

Hi,

Is there any alternatives or similar solutions to zoneminder? Need something that is more stable or at least has more development going on, the more I dig to try and fix 1 small issue the more it screams "I need a complete rewrite", spending way too much time trying to make this work. Even a commerical piece of software...


Thanks

There are plenty of them out there. The company I work for uses exacqvision. They have windows and linux servers and clients. The license is pay per camera. Works well for corprate enviroment with 90+ IP cameras. There were others that were looked at and were all pretty much alike. All licensing per camera.

I dont know about home use software other than the bundled software that comes with the old analog cards and some IP cameras. They all run on windows as far as I know.

I dumpped the crappy windows software that came with my old 8 camera analog card and started using Zoneminder. It was a little trouble getting it to work right with the single chip cards but was not too bad especially since I was new with linux. I've been running it stable for 3 years now.

Today I'm running Kubuntu 12.04 and IP cameras. I can do a fresh install and have cameras recording in a few minutes following the the easy wiki guide.
