Hi,
zoneminder is, as Stuart said, overcomplicated, plus unmantained and unable
to catch the more modern streams from IP cams.
The best free alternative is SHINOBI https://shinobi.video which is based
on java and ported on linux, mac and wi(n)dows, I do not know it it would
be feasible an OpenBSD port (theorically yes
https://gitlab.com/Shinobi-Systems/Shinobi/tree/master/INSTALL contains the
stuff).
On amd64 platform it works great!
I am soon going to install it on an ODROID-HC1, although I read around that
on arm (unsupported) platform motion detection is crippled.
