Shinobi
Open-source CCTV and NVR platform for IP cameras
Activity unknown
No repository statistics available for this project.
Shinobi is an open-source video surveillance (CCTV) and NVR platform for managing IP cameras, live streams, and recordings from a browser-based interface. It is built for performance and can be deployed on anything from an edge device to an enterprise server.
Key Features
- Live viewing and recording for IP cameras (commonly via RTSP and other FFmpeg-supported inputs)
- Web-based management UI for configuring monitors, recording modes, and retention
- Event-driven, real-time updates to connected clients via WebSockets
- Flexible architecture intended for customization and building additional functionality on top
- Designed around FFmpeg for efficient ingest, recording, and transcoding pipelines
Use Cases
- Home and small business NVR/DVR for multiple IP cameras
- Baby monitor or home monitoring with browser-based viewing
- Construction site or store surveillance with centralized recording and playback
Limitations and Considerations
- Feature set and reliability can depend heavily on camera stream quality and FFmpeg compatibility
- Larger deployments may require careful tuning of storage, retention, and transcoding/recording settings
Shinobi is a practical choice for users who want a self-hosted, web-managed NVR focused on performance and flexibility. It suits both simple home setups and larger multi-camera deployments when properly tuned.
