Shinobi Update! This 2023 look at Shinobi CCTV System Helps show the power of open source!

i was istall shinobi on ubuntu 22.04 LTS, everithing is run well after i reboot my ubuntu and Shinobi can't run again. i have do pm2 camera, pm2 cron but web page can't accessable. any solution for it ?

I am down to 2 applications. Agent DVR and Shinobi. Some say Zoneminder is not stable. Which one should I pick for a RPI4 and 2 cameras?

as far as i can see they want $60 a year to enable the button to play back at more than 1x speed. Someone should do a video on how shinobi became a cash grab. I can see paying for a lot of things (like object or even motion detection). but holy crap ill screen record my grid streamed through vlc before i pay someone for the ability to playback a video at 2x speed in 2024. If shinobi nvr cant show me basic required functions work with out my wallet theres no reason to belive they will with. Or that more advanced things work. For all i know it helps hide the fact that the video drops 10 min into the 15 min file. It takes a lot to get cameras stable and not burning up all your cpu. Sort of enrages me that i put all that effort to maybe have some stability but after hrs of tinkering i find shinobi nvr has become a cash grab masqurading as open source. kinda gross.

off to delete the container.

Sir, now I am encountering another issue: unable to connect the inbuild object detection in shinobi. I have installed the object detection plugin in the super user panel, but it is still showing not connected in the object detection session in the main dashboard. Please help sir it is an urgent situation.

Sir, we have connected our camera through ONVIF but there is a problem arising. The streaming is showing died randomly after sometime, what might be the problem? How can we solve this issue

How does this compare to Blue Iris?

can i use shinobi in reactjs or react native if yes then how is there any video on this topic.. if anyone read this comment and know how to integrate shinobi with react and react native pls reply me with links thanks in advance..

Shinobi is NOT free. There is a free, open source version, but its 4+ years old and it has issues. I have no idea why you are reviewing this as it is NOT OPEN SOURCE. I recently tried to "upgrade" to the newer software and was willing to buy a license, I entered my card info and all of that and then nothing. I couldn't get my license and that was the end of that. If they can't collect my money without screwups, I'm not going with the paid version which is really the only option. If you don't have a license, certain things are disabled. But they don't tell you exactly what is disabled, so is it not working due to your config or due to items being disabled due to licensing issues. I'm done with this. I am willing to pay $5 per month per machine, but this software is getting worse, not better.
So Shinobi is no longer open source. I can't pay for a license and I HATE the new interface. Can it get any busier? How about tabs. Not one giant long list of everything I could possibly choose. The interface sucks. Its extensive, and it sucks. And I'm a programmer used to very complex interfaces.
I tried Motioneye and its interface is much cleaner than Shinobi. But it is no longer being developed and its motion detection is like Shinobi. Everything sets it off. I don't need video of grass blowing around. My next attempt will be Frigate and if it looks even reasonable, I will add a Coral USB accelerator ($74) and give that a go. I'm really looking for people and animals. Everything else I can ignore.

amazing video. i just wonder, since we both use reolink cams with shinobi, i use 4x reolink e1 outdoor pro 8k cams,
how you are able to select "hls stream" in the stream section of the monitor.
i have to choose mjpeg there, to get a video picture. when i use hls i see nothing. even when i wait 10min.
so without hls i dont get audio recorded. thats kinda strange...

hi, is camera trigger options better than before? thanks

Hi, I have a query. Is it a VMS system? Actually, I'm finding it difficult to distinguish this with VMS

Thanks for sharing this, Shinobi is amazing and fully customisable too.
You can even create a fork of their development branch and install from your own git hub with customised themes. :D

Great video, and thank you for all the info you deliver through your channel. It would be interesting to see a comparison with Frigate NVR.

I was using and enjoying Agent DVR, installed on my windows machine. I noticed that I started having internet problems. I would lose the internet connection on my machine every few hours. This went on for weeks. The only fix was to restart the network adapter. After days of trouble shooting and replacing network cables, I finally traced the problem back to Agent DVR. Something about how the software was installed or configured was interfering with my internet connection. Uninstalled it and the problem was gone. Just to double check, I reinstalled it about a week later and the internet problems returned. I'm not sure what the problem is, but it's a bummer bc I was really enjoying Agent DVR. I'm currently looking for an alternative.

Is there anyway to access Shinobi remotely? Is that possible with any NVR?

Can I connect an Onvif camera through the public IP? from the modem, of course forwarding ports from wan to lan to the tapo camera

Wish you would have clarified how to create the images. Lost me on that unfortunately.

Can't say I'm a fan of Shinobi. I have reasons. The developer seems to have a chip on his shoulder. I watched him just totally rip apart some guy over on Reddit, then ban him. I did my own research, and then I found there was some truth to what was said.

The docker setup isn't great on following some best practices, makes it hard to know if it is secure. For example, no prod branch, only develop, and the MySQL is baked into the Shinobi image rather than kept separate. I would have liked to use a separate MySQL server, not use defaults with a blank password. It just takes a little more trouble than it's worth, IMHO.

I'm trying Viseron, Frigate. I really need a dedicated box, no matter what I'm using, because it's hard to pack in GPU acceleration in rack servers (PSU - no 6-12 pin aux connector).

Hey. Just thought I'd mention that you have something that looks like a password in your search bar for a good portion of the video. Just letting you know in case it is / you haven't changed it already.

Hi, I have a question. I followed your instructions and installed it on Proxmox as a CT, and everything is working fine. But I did make my disk too small and then decided to increase it in Proxmox, but the Shinobi server does not recognize it. Do you have any suggestion?

Also installing on 2tb SSD NVMe

What pc or setup are you running on? I plan on using a Pi 4. 8gb. Probably 4 rtsp cameras

My reolink cams streak when I'm trying to pull the same feed into two different servers.

Great video thanks for the information!

Thanks for the video 😊

Shinobi vs Frigate? Coral support?

Did you get paid by Shinobi to make this video? Shinobi is not free to some extent

The best option almost always includes a measure of personal preferences. I have tried ZoneMinder, Shinobi, and Frigate. Currently using Frigate and have been satisfied overall. Using a Coral TPU device helps quite a bit with reducing detection processing demands. Frigate can also leverage quicksync for intel cpu's that provide that capability.

I used Shinobi for many years and have recently setup Viseron as my new primary NVR, shinobi is now a backup to it.

Viseron is much more basic in terms of features and it uses yaml configuration however it leverages AI person detection via CPU or GPU which makes motion detection far far more accurate, much less junk recordings and much shorter time getting the system tuned as a result

I found one named frigate with facial recognition accelerated by google coral USB thumb ia acceleration..

I didn't hear you mention Frigate, seeing that you use HomeAssistant and it has a nice integration. Have you tried it?

Thank you for your work in open source!
