Overview
LightNVR is a tiny, memory-optimized Network Video Recorder software written in C. While originally designed for resource-constrained devices like the Ingenic A1 SoC with only 256MB of RAM, it can run on any Linux system.
LightNVR provides a lightweight yet powerful solution for recording and managing IP camera streams. It's designed to run efficiently on low-power, memory-constrained devices while still providing essential NVR functionality with a modern, responsive web interface.
