Shinobi CE is a free, open-source CCTV/NVR platform written in Node.js for recording and managing IP security cameras. It supports RTSP/ONVIF cameras, live web streaming (HLS, MJPEG, WebM, MP4), motion and object detection plugins, and a multi-tier user system.

Use cases

  • record footage from IP security cameras
  • self-hosted NVR to replace ZoneMinder
  • view live camera streams in a web browser
  • motion detection alerts for home surveillance
  • object detection with TensorFlow or Yolo on camera feeds
  • baby monitor or store camera DVR
  • restream RTSP cameras via HLS or MJPEG
  • manage multi-tenant camera accounts with limited privileges

When to choose

  • you want a lightweight, fast self-hosted CCTV recorder on Linux, Mac, or Windows
  • you need RTSP/ONVIF camera support with a web dashboard
  • you want plugin-based motion or object detection
  • ZoneMinder or other NVRs have been unreliable for you

When to avoid

  • you need a commercially licensed or fully maintained product with guaranteed support
  • you require a simple plug-and-play appliance without server administration
  • you need guaranteed long-term upstream development on GitHub, since the project moved to GitLab
