Comment on Finally have the stream from my HikVision, now the challenge of Frigate
ikidd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks agoVery rudimentary. It was what I started with when I was trying to roll my own, and I had to tack on anything to deal with PTZ and alert automation.

Sounds like Frigate is the olny open source NVR out there then …

Shinobi? Iirc, it was open source once upon a time. I always found it had a very weird interface and UX but ymmv.

Ok, probably came across it at some point but just now was browsing the website, which appears to be more user friendly. It appears to have a docker option and a dedicate mobile app. Based on website features content seems to be quite mature. shinobi.video/features
There seems to be a commercial entity behind it. The licence seems to be ad hoc gitlab.com/Shinobi-Systems/Shinobi/…/LICENSE.md
Not sure this becomes closed/payment only at some point or whether it has closed source blobs.

Yah, that was where I figured it was going too, which was why I figured it went closed source.
Give it a try if Frigate doesn’t work out, it’s been trying to go paid for a few years now I think, but it doesn’t seem likely they’ll be able to knock off BI with what they have going there.
