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.
self-hosted · lan-only · runs anywhere

privacy by architecture
Footage never leaves
the building.
Cameras stream to your recorder; recordings land on your storage. The cloud only ever sees a license check and an update notice — never a frame of video.

Skip the forever-bill.
Cloud cameras charge every month, per camera, forever — to watch your own footage. Glide Vizion is one payment. Then nothing.

before you ask
Questions, answered.
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.

"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."
