I live on a dead end street and mine is the last house before a nature preserve. Awesome for wandering around the yard at noon, still in pajamas, but if I'm not here, anyone could be, and the neighbors would never know. Neither the doors in my house nor my garage are visible from my neighbors houses, and a short way through the woods on one side is a home for "troubled" teenagers. If we forget to lock our cars, there won't be any change left in the console by morning! I would be an utter fool to not have security cameras. I set up my IP cameras with ZoneMinder on an Ubuntu server and they work great, but the ZM web interface is not so great on a phone screen. Enter ZM Ninja, which is great. I can check my phone and immediately know whether the motion detected on the east side of my patio was the mailman, or someone taking advantage of the privacy we have here. The app interface is clean and I didn't need to RTFM to set it up. Very nicely done, and thank you for remembering that some of us don't want to use whatever crappy, badly translated software came with the cameras!

zmNinja is part of the ozone.network solution suite

What is zmNinja?

zmNinja is an awesome home security app that works along with ZoneMinder. Various studies have shown its approximately 73% better than warm butter on toast. zmNinja is not backed by a big corporation. It's just one dude, doing things at 2AM in the morning and then at 10PM at night. That's probably why it rocks

Designed with love

zmNinja has a beautifully fluid UI, designed with love. It's a big improvement over using the ZoneMinder console on your phone. Try it and I hope you'll agree. The ZoneMinder devs disagree.

Awesome features

zmNinja has awesome features like a fluid montage, event montage and quick scrub just to name a few. Best of all, I'm dog-fooding my app every day and night so I keep adding cool stuff.

Multi-OS

zmNinja works on Android as well as iOS. Well, don't just stop there. It also works on Linux, Windows and Mac desktops. And by 'works' I mean 'works gorgeously'.

Mobile-first

zmNinja is a mobile first app. It uses the powerful ionic framework as a base and offers native like performance. Folks who have been trying to use ZoneMinder on their mobile phones without my app have had manic bouts of ecstacy after discovering zmNinja

Can't live without ZoneMinder
