The open-source NVR landscape is rich with incredible projects — Frigate, Shinobi, ZoneMinder, Blue Iris alternatives — backed by passionate communities. They're powerful. They're feature-packed. But they've also become complex. Docker containers, AI pipelines, multi-service architectures, cloud integrations — for many users, it's too much.
**NextNVR is different.** It does one thing: continuously record your IP cameras to disk and let you review the footage. No AI, no cloud, no Docker — just a single Go binary you can run on a Raspberry Pi 5, an old thin client, or a VM. Deploy it in 30 seconds with a one-liner.

## Quick Install
```bash
curl -sSL https://git.lohmar.co.uk/cclohmar/NextNVR/raw/branch/main/setup.sh | bash
curl -sSLO https://git.lohmar.co.uk/cclohmar/NextNVR/raw/branch/main/deploy_nvr.sh
chmod +x deploy_nvr.sh
./deploy_nvr.sh
```
The script will ask where to store recordings. Press Enter for the default (`~/nvr_data`) or type your own path (e.g. `/mnt/recordings`).
The script asks where to store recordings, then installs everything. Press Enter for the default (`~/nvr_data`) or type your own path.
**Want to pre-set the storage path without being asked?**
**To update an existing installation** — run the same script again. It stops the service, pulls the latest code, rebuilds, and restarts.
**To pre-set the storage path:**
```bash
STORAGE_PATH=/mnt/recordings curl -sSL https://...setup.sh | bash
STORAGE_PATH=/mnt/recordings ./deploy_nvr.sh
```
