Which cameras work with the server?

The server uses RTSP and ONVIF. Most IP cameras and DVRs support these protocols.

Where does the server store recordings?

The server stores recordings on its local disk. The server does not send video to the cloud.

How do I watch cameras from another network?

Use a VPN or a tunnel to your server. The server does not need an open port.

What is the cost?

The code is open source. You pay for the hardware that runs the server.
