## What it is
zmNinja is a cross-platform ZoneMinder client app for monitoring CCTV/NVR cameras on mobile and desktop, built with Ionic and AngularJS. It reached end-of-life in May 2026 and users should migrate to its successor, zmNinjaNg.

## Use cases
- monitor zoneminder cameras from my phone
- view cctv live streams on android and ios
- get push notifications for motion detection events
- play back recorded security camera events
- multi-camera montage grid view
- review event timeline across monitors
- zoneminder mobile app for windows mac linux

## When to choose
- you are locked to an older environment requiring the original Ionic/AngularJS client
- you need a documented reference for the legacy ZoneMinder client

## When to avoid
- you want a maintained ZoneMinder client - use zmNinjaNg instead
- you need bug fixes, updates, or support
- starting a new ZoneMinder setup
