Dhruv Bhutani writes about VibeNVR, a Docker-based NVR software that allows users to record and manage RTSP camera feeds locally. By offloading recording tasks from proprietary hardware like UniFi's DreamMachine Pro to an existing server, the author gained greater control over storage allocation through a quota-based system. The software provides essential features such as motion detection, event history, object detection (people, vehicles, animals), and privacy masking.
- VibeNVR supports tiered storage for archival purposes
- Users can set different stream resolutions for live viewing versus recording to optimize bandwidth
- The app includes support for PTZ camera control
- It offers motion zones to reduce false triggers from irrelevant activity like street traffic
