Why ZoneMinder and your NAS is the perfect home security solution

So you've got yourself a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device and want to go about creating your very own self-hosted home surveillance system. This is entirely possible on your NAS, so long as it has a few drive bays to hold all the video footage, and support for Docker containers (unless using first-party software). ZoneMinder is a free, open-source, and self-hosted video recorder with some enticing features, including support for AI recognition and event monitoring. It's a powerful piece of kit and can be run on just about any NAS device.
