#KERBEROS.WEB
Kerberos is a low-budget surveillance solution created for the Rapsberry Pi, but it also works on OSX and Linux. It uses a motion detection algorithm to detect changes and stores images when motion is detected. Kerberos is open source, so you and others, can customize the source code to your needs and share it. It has a low-energy footprint when deploying on the Raspberry Pi and it's easy to install, you only need to transfer the image to the SD card and you're done.
Use your mobile phone, tablet or PC to keep an eye on your property. View the images taken by Kerberos with our responsive and user-friendly web interface. Look at the dashboard to get a graphical overview of the past days. Multiple Kerberos instances can be installed and can be viewed with only 1 web interface.
The webinterface allows you to configure the machinery and to view events that were detected by the machinery. You can use your mobile phone, tablet or desktop to view the images with the responsive and intuitive web interface.
The webinterface is written in PHP using the extremely popular PHP Framework Laravel. It visualizes images, taken by the machinery, in a intuitive and responsive way. Besides a server-side framework, it also uses a client-side framework Backbone to create the dynamic behaviour. The webinterface includes the latest development tools, to increase development efficiency: RequireJS, bower, LESS, etc.
Besides visualization, the webinterface is also used to configure the machinery. On the settings page a user can select different options, for example a user could select a region where motion should be detected. Could select a time range when motion could be detected, which algorithm is used, etc; more information can be found on the documentation website.
First make sure you've enabled following php extensions: mcrypt, phar, gd and openssl.
nano /etc/php/php.ini
uncomment extension=mcrypt.so
uncomment extension=phar.so
uncomment extension=gd.so
uncomment extension=openssl.so
Go to your www directory, the directory to which your webserver is pointing
cd /some/directory/www
Get the source code from github
git clone https://github.com/kerberos-io/web kerberos-web
Install php packages by using composer
cd kerberos-web
composer install
Change config file: edit the "configFile" variable, link it to the config directory of the kerberos-io repository. If you don't have the kerberos-io repository installed on that specific server, you can make it an empty string. In this case the option "settings" won't show up in the navigation menu.
nano app/config/app.php
Change write permission on the storage directory
chmod -R 777 app/storage
Install bower globally by using node package manager, this is installed when installing nodejs.
npm -g install bower
Install Front end dependencies with bower
cd public
bower --allow-root install
You can access the webinterface by entering the ip address in your favorite browser. You will see a login page showing up, on which you will need to enter your credentials. The default username and password is root. You are able to change this password by editing the app/config/app.php file.
