Kerberos.io is an open-source video surveillance and analytics software. It is a perfect solution for home users, small businesses, and even large enterprises. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Kerberos.io on macOS.
Before installing Kerberos.io, you should have the following:
The first step in installing Kerberos.io is to install Homebrew. Homebrew is a package manager for macOS that makes it easy to install software packages.
Open the Terminal application on your Mac by searching for it in Spotlight, or by navigating to Applications > Utilities > Terminal.
In the terminal window, type the following command and press Enter:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
This command will download and install Homebrew on your macOS device.
Now that you have Homebrew installed, you can proceed to install Kerberos.io. Open the terminal app, and run the following command to install Kerberos.io:
brew install kerberos
The installation process will take a few minutes to complete. Once it's finished, you can start using Kerberos.io.
By default, Kerberos.io is set up to use localhost, which means it will only record and monitor video from your own device. To configure Kerberos.io to monitor cameras on your network or the internet, you will need to change some settings.
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8888. This will open the Kerberos.io dashboard.
Click on the "Settings" menu on the left side of the dashboard.
In the "General" tab, change the "Hostname" option to the IP address of the device where you installed Kerberos.io.
In the "Cameras" tab, choose your preferred camera source, and set up your cameras for monitoring.
After configuring your settings, click on the "Save" button at the bottom of the page.
Kerberos.io is an excellent video surveillance and analytics software that is easy to install and use on macOS. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you can install Kerberos.io on your macOS device and monitor cameras on your network or the internet.
