## What is zmNinjaNG?

zmNinjaNG is a mobile client for ZoneMinder, the open-source video surveillance platform. View live camera feeds, browse
  recorded events, and receive push notifications when motion is detected — all from your iPhone or iPad.

  Features:
  - Live streaming and snapshot views of all your monitors
  - Dashboard with customizable widgets
  - Event browsing with timeline and filtering
  - Push notifications for motion and alarm events
  - Multi-server profile support
  - QR code import for quick server setup
  - Works over LAN, VPN (WireGuard), or remote access
  - Dark and light themes
  - Portrait and landscape support

  Requires a self-hosted ZoneMinder server. zmNg connects directly to your server — no cloud service or subscription
  required.

See https://github.com/ZoneMinder/zmNinjaNg/blob/zmNinjaNg-2.2.1/CHANGELOG.md for details

### 2.2.0 — 2026-08-08

Added profile groups so you can combine several servers and view them together as one.
Added an All Profiles mode that shows monitors and events from every server at once.
Added a Live Activity view that shows only the monitors with motion right now.
Added an option to turn analysis frames on or off while watching a live stream.
Added a per monitor option to force ZMS playback for events that do not play natively.
Added the ability to disable a profile so it stays in your list but is skipped everywhere.
Icon only buttons now show a label or tooltip when tapped on touch devices.
The interface now hides features your ZoneMinder account does not have rights to use.

### 2.1.0 — 2026-07-30

Added a way to view objdetect, alarm, and snapshot frames for an event, like the older zmNinja.
Added an on-device assistant backend on iOS and Android, so the assistant can run models locally without a server.
Assistant backend choices are now named by who supplies the model, so it is clearer what you are picking.
The assistant now understands phrases like "3 days ago" instead of falling back to today.
The assistant no longer fails with an error when a local model lacks tool support; it now works with those models over Ollama.
Fixed the event server connection dropping after the app was in the background and reopened.
Connection failures now name the server that could not be reached instead of showing raw error text.
Passwords and tokens are now stripped from logs, including ones sent back by ZoneMinder.

### 2.0.0 — 2026-07-22

https://github.com/ZoneMinder/zmNinjaNg/releases/tag/zmNinjaNg-2.0.0
Added an in-app assistant that can answer questions about your cameras and events, using either a remote server or a model that runs on your device.
Events can now play back continuously, moving on to the next event automatically.
Fixed the event player looping the same event after continuous playback.
Fixed a connection error when validating against ZoneMinder 1.38.3.
Fixed on-device assistant model downloads being lost before they finished installing.
