Munara.io monitors your network devices, IP cameras, and alarm panels from a single dashboard — running on a Raspberry Pi, an old PC, or anything in between. No cloud dependency. No per-device licensing. No complexity tax.
The Problem
PRTG, Zabbix, and Nagios are powerful — but they demand a dedicated server, a DBA, weeks of configuration, and per-sensor licences that scale painfully.
PRTG charges per sensor and scales painfully. Zabbix needs a full Linux server stack. The monitoring infrastructure ends up more complex than the thing being monitored.
Weeks of setup, plugin hunting, and database tuning before you see a single alert. Most SMBs give up before they start.
Traditional network monitors ignore IP cameras and alarm panels. So when an intruder trips your alarm, your monitoring software has no idea — and neither do you.
Features
Purpose-built for small and medium businesses that need real monitoring — not a PhD in ops.
Scan your local network and let Munara find everything worth monitoring. One click to start tracking a new device.
Monitor IP cameras alongside your network gear. Live stream previews, health status, snapshot capture, and event tracking — in the same dashboard as your switches and servers.
Connect your intruder alarm directly. Munara receives SIA codes over IP so panel events appear alongside your device status — no separate ARC software needed.
Deploy agents at each location and roll everything up into one parent dashboard. Drill down to any site without jumping between tools.
Link events to actions. When the alarm trips, trigger a camera snapshot. When a switch goes down, page an engineer. Cross-device automation without code.
Munara runs entirely on-site with no internet dependency. Add the cloud service for remote access, configuration backup, and multi-site visibility when you need it.
A Raspberry Pi 4, a ten-year-old PC, or a modern mini-PC — if it runs Linux it runs Munara. Install it as a snap package in minutes.
Deployed as a snap package — updates roll out automatically and silently. Your field devices stay current without manual intervention.
Your support team can push a full config restore remotely without needing a VPN or on-site visit. Every deployment is recoverable.
How It Works
No servers to provision, no databases to tune, no plugins to hunt down.
Install Munara on any Linux device — Raspberry Pi, mini-PC, or VM. The snap package handles everything: the agent, the web UI, the database.
Munara scans your subnet and presents every device it finds. Select the ones you want to monitor and it auto-configures the right protocol.
Your dashboard goes live immediately. Set up alert rules to notify your team by email or SMS when something needs attention.
Protocol Support
Active polling and passive listening — Munara speaks the language of every device on your network.

Use Cases
Munara was built for businesses that have real infrastructure but not a full IT department to babysit it.
Monitor switches, tills, CCTV, and alarm panels across multiple branches from one screen. Receive alerts the moment a site goes dark — before a customer notices.
Deploy a Munara agent at each client site and roll all status up to your NOC dashboard. No VPN required for remote access — your engineers can manage any client directly from the cloud portal.
Keep tabs on the full stack — network, cameras, environmental sensors, and access control — in a single view. Trigger a camera snapshot automatically when the alarm fires.
A single Raspberry Pi handles the whole school. Governors and IT staff see the live status of every switch, AP, server, and camera — no server room required, no IT degree needed.
