I've been working on an open source, fully self-hosted network video recorder for about two months now. https://github.com/kevinbentley/ronin-nvr/

It works with cheap, generic IP cameras over RTSP. It's pretty easy to get it working with a Raspberry Pi too.

I was using the synology surveillance app, but after their recent shenanigans, I wanted something I could self host and modify on my own.

I'm using it at my property with 14 cameras right now and I'm really happy with it. There's still some work to do, but it's integrated with ML object detection, and even integration with a VLLM to describe a scene when certain things are detected.

This was my first attempt at a large-scale application that is heavily AI assisted. I need to update the screenshots and feature list for the readme, but if you have any questions or want to get involved, let me know.
