Viseron

A self-hosted NVR (Network Video Recorder) with built-in object detection. Monitor camera feeds, detect motion and objects in real time, and review recordings through a modern web interface.

What You Can Do After Deployment

1. Visit your domain — the web UI opens to the dashboard where you can configure cameras and view live streams
2. Add cameras — configure RTSP or other camera streams through the configuration editor in the web UI
3. Set up detection — enable motion detection and object detection (person, car, animal, etc.) per camera
4. Review recordings — browse recorded clips triggered by motion or object detection events
5. Customize settings — adjust detection zones, sensitivity thresholds, and recording schedules

Key Features

• Modern web UI for live viewing, configuration, and recording playback
• Real-time object detection using machine learning (supports multiple backends)
• Motion detection with configurable sensitivity and zones
• Multi-camera support (RTSP, MJPEG, and more)
• Event-triggered recording with pre/post-event buffering
• Notification support (MQTT, Home Assistant integration)
• Lightweight enough for single-board computers

Volumes

• /config — configuration files (cameras, detection settings, etc.)
• /recordings — recorded video clips from motion/object detection events

Configuration

Viseron uses a YAML configuration file stored in /config. The web UI provides a built-in editor. Without cameras configured, the dashboard will be empty but fully functional for editing settings.
