Note

This is the legacy version of zmES. It is recommended that you migrate to zmesNg/ documentation (that will automatically upgrade pyzm to the newer version).

What

The Event Notification Server sits along with ZoneMinder and offers real time notifications, support for push notifications as well as Machine Learning powered recognition. As of today, it supports:

I will add more algorithms over time.
