Linux software for NVR

[nanotek]

Hi
I want turn a small server to an NVR.
I want use linux (Ubuntu) as OS.
Has anyone done it ?
Which software do you use ?
I've found software but only for windows. But from windows 10 I don't like using it. Automatic update with automatic reboot made it unusable for long session without continuous monitoring/maintenance.

Zoneminder seems to be one of the popular ones. ZoneMinder - Home I didn't use it myself, I know there are also some others around, but can't remember their names right now.

I want create a good vendor independent NVR.
My surveillance system is a mix of Dahua, Hikvision and Axis for a total of 9 IP cam (2Mpx or 4 Mpx).
Now the NVR is an "old" hikvision 16 CH (4Mpx).
I'm planning to update some cam with starlight or darkfighter version with H265 to use less storage space.

Do you mean using a computer with Ubuntu instead of the old NVR? The link I posted may help you but I have not had time to test them myself.
