It was designed to record IP camera footage 24/7 in a rolling manner. It is simple to set up, runs on almost every platform (Docker or bare metal) and uses very little resources.\n\n![Screenshot](images/screenshot.png)\n\nThe following features make this project unique:\n- Ultra low resource usage: this project was designed to run with minimal CPU and memory footprint. No GPU/NPU is required.\n- Flexible deployment options: you can run this project bare metal, e.g. on a Rasberry Pi, or deploy it via Docker, e.g. on your NAS.\n- Total simplicity: the user interface is clean, modern, minimalistic and very easy to use.\n\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.buymeacoffee.com/borisbrock\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://cdn.buymeacoffee.com/buttons/v2/default-yellow.png\" alt=\"Buy Me A Coffee\" style=\"height: 60px !important;width: 217px !important;\" \u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n\n## Features\n\n- 24/7 continuous video recording from an RTSP stream (IP camera).\n- Audio and video support.\n- Web interface for browsing all recorded clips.\n- Direct playback of clips via the web interface.\n- Direct downloading of clips via the web interface.\n\n## What this project does *NOT* offer\n\nIn order to achieve minimal hardware resource usage, several features implemented by other NVR systems are not available in this project:\n- Live video view\n- Motion detection\n- Object detection\n\nIf you require these features, take a look at other projects like Frigate, Shinobi or ZoneMinder.\n\n# Configuration\n\nCreate a *config.yml* based on the [template](templates/config.yml). The only thing you *have* to change is the stream URL for your IP camera.\n\n# Deployment\n\n## Via Docker\n\nFreecorder is easy to set up with Docker Compose.\nCreate a *data* folder (for configuration and logging) and a *recordings* folder (e.g. on a mounted high endurance Micro SD card).\nPlace your *config.yml* in the data folder.\n\n```\nservices:\n  freecorder:\n    container_name: freecorder\n    image: borisbrock/freecorder:latest\n    restart: always\n    ports:\n      - \"8020:5000\"\n    volumes:\n      - /volume1/docker/freecorder/data:/data\n      - /volume1/docker/freecorder/recordings:/recordings\n```\n\n(see the [Docker Compose template](templates/docker-compose.yml))\n\n# Used Assets and Libraries\n\nThe following assets and libraries are used by this project:\n\n- [PicoCSS](https://picocss.com/)\n- [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fborisbrock%2Ffreecorder","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fborisbrock%2Ffreecorder","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fborisbrock%2Ffreecorder/lists"}
