on your disk
Local-first recording
Cameras record straight to a drive you own. Footage can't be leaked, sold, or locked behind someone else's login — it never touches the internet.

Your cameras. Your machine.
Your footage — and nobody else's.
A fast network video recorder that writes straight to a disk you own. No cloud relay, no subscription, no one watching the watchers. Try it free on one camera, then own it forever for fifty dollars.

the base deal
Everything you need, in one binary.
The base product is meant to feel complete: local live view, 24/7 recording, timeline scrubbing and playback — with headroom for serious homes and small businesses.
one-time
$50 base license
Pay once for up to 50 cameras and never get a bill again — no subscription, no per-camera fees, no paywall on your own footage.
try first
Full-feature trial
Run the whole product free on one camera — no card, no account. Watch it record and scrub your real footage before you spend a cent.
no expiry
Updates forever
Every performance, bug and security update is included for good. Buy once and it keeps getting better — no renewal, no expiry.
do the math
Own it once. Skip the forever-bill.
Cloud cameras and subscription NVRs charge every month, per camera, to watch footage you already own. Glide Vizion is one payment — then nothing.

$20/mo, per plan
≈ $1,200 over five years — and it stops the day you stop paying.
- Footage held on someone else's servers
- Per-camera upsells & paywalled history

privacy is the feature
Footage never leaves the building.
Cameras stream to your machine; recordings land on your storage. The cloud here only sells a license and tells the daemon when an update exists — the video stays on the LAN, where it belongs.

download to live view
Download, drag, run.
Three steps from a fresh download to a live grid in your browser.
- 01
Download or docker run
Grab the macOS or Linux build, or run the container on any host — Docker, Proxmox, a NAS.
- 02
Add your cameras
Edit the generated config with your RTSP camera URLs and storage path.
- 03
Start recording
Run NVR locally, open the web UI, and verify live view before buying a license.
updates + optional add-ons
Forever updates. À la carte power.
Everyone gets performance, bug and security updates. New capabilities ship as explicit add-ons, so you only pay for the pieces you actually need.
soon
signed Core update channel
The daemon checks a signed manifest, compares versions, and notifies admins inside the web app before anything is installed.
soon
à la carte Feature add-ons
Motion, AI events, WebRTC, HomeKit, and advanced automations can ship as explicit capabilities instead of bloating the base license.
soon
scale Distributed servers
Future nodes can split camera ingest, event processing, and AI workloads while one controller keeps the system understandable.
soon
open Plugin marketplace
Community plugins should run as isolated sidecars with declared permissions, signed packages, and revenue share for creators.
Will it work with my cameras?
If it speaks RTSP, it works — Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, Amcrest and most ONVIF cameras, plus NVR/DVR boxes. Point it at the stream URL and go.
Is my footage actually private?
Yes. Video never leaves your network. The only things that touch the cloud are a one-time license check and an optional update notice — neither carries a frame of video.
How hard is it to set up?
Download, drop in your camera URLs, run. You get a live grid in the browser in minutes — no account required to start.
What does it cost?
Free forever on one camera. $50 once unlocks up to 50 cameras — no subscription, no per-camera fees, no bill to watch your own footage.
Where does it run?
macOS and Linux natively, or Docker on anything — Proxmox, a NAS, or Windows via Docker Desktop. One small static binary.
why this exists
I wanted to record my own cameras without a monthly bill, a heavyweight stack, or the nagging feeling that my footage was one cloud outage — or one breach — away from someone else's hands. So I built the recorder I actually wanted: a single binary that writes my cameras straight to my own disk, plays back in any browser, and asks nothing of the internet. Pay once, own it, done.
Point a camera at it tonight.
Run the build locally, watch one camera record, then unlock the rest from the license portal.
