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. **NextNVR is different.** It does one thing: continuously record your IP cameras to disk and let you review the footage.

This project was built with the help of AI — designed through conversation, refined through iteration, and shaped by the simple principle that surveillance software should be boring.

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 ```bash
STORAGE_PATH=/mnt/recordings curl -sSL https://...setup.sh | bash STORAGE_PATH=/mnt/recordings ./deploy_nvr.sh
``` ```
