VigilantPI

Vigilant is an nvr system for IP cameras, having mainly RaspberryPI as target.

It can record any URL supported by ffmpeg. It provides some HTTP hooks that can be used to deal with IP camera's instabilities

mount_dir: /mnt/hdd
mount_dev: /dev/sda1
prevent_hdd_spindown: true

admin:
  user: ""
  pass: ""
  addr: :80

videos_dir: /mnt/hdd/cameras
