Az InfoWorld nemrég leközölt egy cikket a Linux alatt használható digitális megfigyelő / térfigyelő rendszerekről, kiemelve a ZoneMinder ingyenesen elérhető, nyílt forrású kamera monitorozó rendszerét, amely vetekszik az 1 500+ dollár értékű PC-s alkalmazásokkal. A ZoneMinder szolgáltatáslistája:

* Supports video, USB and network cameras.
* Support Pan/Tilt/Zoom cameras, extensible to add new control protocols.
* Built on standard tools, C++, perl and php.
