ZoneMinder versus Felenasoft
Compare	ZoneMinder	Felenasoft
Verdict	Depends	Depends
Best for	Linux-comfortable homelabbers	Self-hosters with their own cameras and servers
Who it's not for	Anyone wanting plug-and-play NVR	Enterprises needing certified, audited VMS platforms
Privacy	Rough: repeated CVEs from 2019-2026, including a CVSS 9.8, RCE, and a CISA advisory.^⁶	No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.
Support quality	Community forums only; SourceForge support page abandoned	Free support plus weekly public support digests
Public sentiment	Forum and Reddit users call it powerful and free but frequently complain about painful installs, maintenance burden, and security concerns.^⁴	Forum users recommend Xeoma for self-hosted setups, but the iOS app rates 2.3/5 and independent review coverage is thin.
Biggest gotcha	Self-hosting means you own patching; CVE history spans 2019-2026	Pro upgrades carry renewals; read renewal terms before upgrading
