 # NextNVR
 
-A lightweight, self-hosted video recorder for IP cameras. Records 8 RTSP streams into 5-minute MP4 clips with near-zero CPU usage. Built for the **Casa Alba Mindelo** guesthouse.
+A simple, single-binary IP camera recorder. Think of it as a dashcam for your property.
+
+---
+
+## Why NextNVR?
+
+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.
+
+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. It should just work.

 ## Quick Install
 
-Copy and paste this single line into your terminal:
-
 ```bash
 curl -sSL https://git.lohmar.co.uk/cclohmar/NextNVR/raw/branch/main/setup.sh | bash
 ```
 
-That's it. The script installs everything needed and starts NextNVR automatically.
-
-Once done, open the web interface in your browser (the script prints the URL).

-### Remote Access (Optional)
+## Remote Access (Optional)
 
-To access NextNVR from outside your home network:
-
-1. **Dynamic DNS** — use a free provider like DuckDNS, No-IP, or Cloudflare to get a domain name (e.g. `myhouse.duckdns.org`)
-2. **Port forwarding** — in your router settings, forward port `8080` to the NextNVR server
-
-Then access your cameras from anywhere: `http://myhouse.duckdns.org:8080`
-
-> ⚠️ For production use, put NextNVR behind a reverse proxy (like Zoraxy or Nginx) with HTTPS. Only port 443 needs to be forwarded — live streams are proxied through NextNVR automatically.

-- **Zero transcoding** — FFmpeg copies the video stream directly. CPU stays under 5%.
-- **Crash-proof** — if a camera disconnects, it auto-reconnects after 5 seconds.
-- **Atomic files** — recording in progress uses `.part.mp4`. Only renamed to `.mp4` when complete. No corrupted files.

-## Adding or Changing Cameras
-
-1. Open the web interface in your browser
-2. Click the **Settings** tab
-3. Click **🔍 Scan Network** to find your cameras
-4. Give each camera a name and description
-5. Click **💾 Save Configuration**
-6. Restart: `sudo systemctl restart nextnvr`
-
-Or edit the config file directly:
-
-```bash
-sudo nano /opt/nextnvr/config.yaml
-sudo systemctl restart nextnvr
-```
-
----
-
-## Updating
-
-```bash
-curl -sSL https://git.lohmar.co.uk/cclohmar/NextNVR/raw/branch/main/setup.sh | bash
-```
-
-The script pulls the latest version and restarts the service automatically.
-
----
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-| Problem | Check |
-|---|---|
-| Can't open the web page | Is NextNVR running? `sudo systemctl status nextnvr` |
-| No cameras showing | Check `config.yaml` — are camera IPs and passwords correct? |
-| Recordings not saving | Does `/mnt/recordings/` exist? Is the disk mounted? (`df -h`) |
-| Disk full | Recordings older than 18 days are auto-deleted. Check `df -h /mnt/recordings` |
