I saw this [1] Nest product recently & I like it but wow, SO expensive.
I see Xeoma has a similar, yet proprietary linux app [2], but still a bit pricey.
Wondering if anyone's aware if a FOSS equivalent exists that would work with a generic off-brand ONVIF P/T IR IP Camera.

Re: FOSS Equivalent to Nest Cam IQ / Nest Aware?
I too am currently looking at what Linux has for Security software to monitor ours and the only I found was in my Synaptic file manager was "ZoneMinder"
https://zoneminder.com/
I'm running MINT 17.3 "Rosa" and the Swann Brand Cameras, https://www.swann.com/au/
Model
With Thermal Cameras - as "Motion" detect was just so annoying with too may "false positives"
3MP Bullet style - +https://www.swann.com/au/swpro-3mpmsb
Im still trying to get that talking to the system!
Cheers

HI FuLl,
Depending on the software and cameras used, you can avoid "false" or unwanted motion recording by selecting or limiting the motion detection area of the cameras.
1.) +1 for the excellent free ZoneMinder (ZM) application.

2.) There is also the very good "Motion" application.

3.) I just noticed this one as well
