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
