I've tried #zoneminder and hated it because it's impossible to understand the settings so you get alerted about real stuff and not sun dapples.
I've tried #frigate and I hated it because it uses a lot of compute (i.e. power, fan noise, etc) to do an amazing job 80% of the time and completely miss things the rest of the time. Also, it took me weeks to get it working then it stopped after a year and I can't be arsed to figure out why.
What other **SELF HOSTED** #security #surveillance #opensource #software is out there?
I have lots of IP #camera that are pretty flexible.

in reply to Tony Schmidt • • •@opensourceit It looks like this is based on "motion" but I don't see how motion is configured to attend to/ignore particular motions. Or maybe it doesn't and it just reports values or something?
I guess the key thing I need is
a. an easy way
b. to filter image deltas
c. into "interesting" vs not
ZoneMinder fails a. Frigate fails c.
