hingepin Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I've been playing around with unRAID for a few years and now its time to add features and put it to better use and less heat. I've been using it as a NAS for ripping movies/music for XBMC/Kodi. Not much talk on the forums other than the dated aptalca's repos. I'll be going from an AMD X4 620 and 2 GB RAM to a Q6600 with 8 GB. Thinking of installing a Linux VM and Zoneminder for IP cameras. Seems to be the most economical route. I don't want to pay the ala cart for cloud storage as well as the security issues. Apps for Android are getting pretty good reviews. Thoughts? Off topic, from my research, I'm looking at a DIY install of a Honeywell Lynx L7000. Self monitoring is about $10/mo. A little more for the Total Connect 2.0. Companies like Scout and the like are almost as bad as an ala cart monitoring company and the window/door sensors are HUGE! I've come to the conclusion that an all-in-one app/software package is not a reality. I use Roomie Remote (now simple control) for most everything else. They just don't have home security system included yet. Quote Link to comment
althoralthor Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Maybe you are looking for more, but one of the smart guys has a zoneminder docker. I have it installed, but have done nothing with it as of yet. Not sure what cameras would work for what i want to do (just looking for a decent HD camera that people have experience with getting to work with zone minder. Anyway, below is the topic about the docker: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=39413.0 Quote Link to comment
hingepin Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 I saw that. I need a to do a lot of research on dockers. Going to track down my Win7 and play with a VM and Blue Iris. Here are the cameras I was looking at for the outside: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16881183057 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4JF1TC8195 Quote Link to comment
