ZoneMinder Questions

[ubersetis93]

I have had my unRAID server for a few months now, and I am loving life. The next step for my server is to set up some IP cameras to be able to check up on my dogs while I am at work. I see that ZoneMinder seems to be the way to go. My Questions are these...

For users of this, am I able to view the streams from my phone?

What is a good camera to use with ZoneMinder?

Thanks in advance.

For phone usage, you can either use a VPN and web browser, or ZMNinja. Most people use the latter.

For camera recommendations, it's typically Hikvision (low end) or Axis (expensive new, affordable used). Reolink has been making a push lately for Hikvision's place though. Full list: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Hardware_Compatibility_List

If you're just gonna look at the dogs, you probably don't need ZMninja...
