I use Blue Iris for capturing IP cameras. I've tried ZoneMinder, iSpy, and Motion (via MotionEyeOS) but just can't find something that works as dependably well. It could definitely be user error (and not getting the alternatives dialed in). But I always go back to Blue Iris. ๐
Blue Iris is terrific software. I'm curious though - what tended to go wrong with the alternatives?
Mostly too many false positives from shadows. Its definitely user error, as I know motion detection is completely configurable. What FOSS IP cam software do you guys run that I should commit to trying and sticking with?
If it's mostly about motion detection and false positives, it's hard to avoid the object detection stuff if you aren't doing that already. I stopped using Blue Iris before it started integrating object detection and I can't speak to it at all. I liked the setup I had with ZoneMinder, Zoneminder Event Server, and the associated machine learning hooks, but the developer behind the event server and ML stuff left and it isn't particularly well integrated. I like how quickly and comprehensively Viseron (https://github.com/roflcoopter/viseron) has progressed. Very sleek software, engaged developer, uses YOLOv7, and even supports an openvino backend. Well worth a look.
I've been liking Shinobi, but I just ordered a Corel USB to try Frigate
