Shinobi IP Camera Monitoring
Shinobi
Shinobi is a node/javascript based web cam monitoring system
http://shinobi.video http://shinobi.video/docs/start
If you use the 'easy' install then it installs the Pro paid for version and a licence is required.
Manual install from git is the 'Demo' version

There are installation scripts but not for CentOS 6

Edit the following and modify any instances of utf8mb4 to utf8
mysql -u root -e "source sql/user.sql" mysql -u root -e "source sql/framework.sql"
Edit sql/default_data.sql
Modify the user. Leave the password which will default:

Unless required remove the INSERT INTO `Monitors` line
mysql -u root -e "source sql/default_data.sql
NPM installation:
npm install npm install pm2 -g
Setup the conf file:
cp conf.sample.json conf.json
Now edit conf.json
Modify port as required Modify mail as required (not sure of the correct syntax here)
Starting
Everything is run and monitored by PM2:
pm2 start camera.js pm2 start cron.js
View current jobs:
pm2 list
You can start and stop with
pm2 restart camera.js
or
pm2 stop camera.js
To remove pm2
pm2 stop all pm2 kill
Use
Go to:
Super User
cp super.sample.json super.json
Modify superuser as required
Default Password : admin
http://your.shinobi.video/super
Motion Detection
If required - Modify plugin keys with new password and mirror that to the files
Motion capture will additional libraries installed - see the READE.md file in the directory
These are the required RPMs - not sure if they are available/repos. On my test server it seemed to allow me to install them, but I have several extras repos. YMMV
yum install cairo cairo-devel cairomm-devel libjpeg-turbo-devel pango pango-devel pangomm pangomm-devel giflib-devel yum install liberation-sans-fonts.noarch
cp plugins/opencv/conf.sample.json plugins/opencv/conf.json cp plugins/motion/conf.sample.json plugins/motion/conf.json
Remote Access
Direct remote access is probably not the best of ideas.
It should be fairly easy to accomplish with a reverse proxy similar to the RocketChat contrib.
Auto start on boot
Not tried this
http://pm2.keymetrics.io/docs/usage/startup/
pm2 save pm2 resurrect
pm2 startup systemv (for CentOS 6?) pm2 unstartup
Updates
To update
cd Shinobi git pull pm2 restart camera.js pm2 restart cron.js
Hardware
It supports lots of hardware out of the box. Please check the documentation.
For a cheap IP camera find an old Android smartphone and try something like BL IP-Camera
