LightNVR helps you record and manage video feeds from your IP cameras using a small, efficient system. It takes live video streams and produces organized recordings with smart detection features, all accessible through a modern web interface. This is ideal for homeowners, small business owners, or anyone managing surveillance on low-power devices.

145 stars.

Use this if you need an on-premise, cost-effective network video recorder for your security cameras, especially if you want smart detection capabilities on resource-constrained hardware like a Raspberry Pi.

Not ideal if you prefer a fully managed cloud-based solution or require advanced enterprise-level NVR features and support.
