I am thinking of building this setup:
Openhab for automation and control.
Zoneminder for surveillance and monitoring of driveway,house entrance/parking lot and diary cows.
OS alternatives for running Openhab and Zoneminder on:
FreeNAS ( bulletproof OpenZFS file system )
XigmaNAS
Later optional addons:
For sound:
Raspberry PI with Picoreplayer and HiFiBerry AMP+
Asterisk/FreePBX as it looks handy.
The hardware I think I will use:
z-wave stuff:
Door lock:
ID Lock 150 (with Z-wave module )
Z-wave controller:
Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5 ( 868,42 MHz here in Europe)
Z-wave swithes for lighting:
Qubino 1D relay ZMNHND1,as these can be installed behind existing switches, it adds Z-wave capabilities and the switch will also work as normal.
Light dimmer:
Z-WaveMe’s ZMNHND1
Zoneminder stuff:
House Outdoors:
3 stationary cameras with IR, D-Link DCS DCS-4705E for driveway, house entrance/parking lot.
Specifications: https://eu.dlink.com/uk/en/products/dcs-4705e-vigilance-5megapixel-outdoor-mini-bullet-camera
Motion detection and possible car and person detection.
Barn indoors:
3 cameras with pan,tilt and zoom.
Vivotek FD8369A-V
specifications: https://www.vivotek.vn/fd8369a-v/
Barn outdoors:
2x D-Link DCS DCS-4705E for farmyard and barn/milking stable acess.
Motion detection and possible car,truck and person detection ( is bovines possible ?) Do I need a GPU for that?
Computer/server hardware:
Quad core processor or better.
16 GB RAM or better.
2x 120GB SSD drives in raid-0 for OS storage.
Disk space needed for 14 days with motion detection ( assuming some moderate activity):
1.622 Terabytes house outdoors
1.081 Terabytes barn outdoors
2.74 TB total disc space for recorded events.
3TB rounded up.
Disks alternative 1
4x Seagate IronWolf 4TB 3.5’’ NAS HDD
RAID type: RAID-Z2
ZFS usable storage capacity:
7.68 TB
3TB of space for recorded events.
That gives 4,68 TB space for computer backups,music,media etc…
Disks alternative 2
2x Seagate IronWolf 4TB 3.5’’ NAS HDD
RAID type: RAID-Z1
ZFS usable storage capacity:
3.96 TB
3TB of space for recorded events.
That gives 0.96 TB space for computer backups,music,media etc…
For sound:
Raspberry PI with Max2Play and HiFiBerry AMP+
