# Introduction
Moonfire NVR is an open-source security camera network video recorder, started
by Scott Lamb <slamb@slamb.org>. Currently it is basic: it saves
H.264-over-RTSP streams from IP cameras to disk as .mp4 files and provides a
simple HTTP interface for listing and viewing fixed-length segments of video.
It does not decode, analyze, or re-encode video frames, so it requires little
CPU. It handles six 720p/15fps streams on a [Raspberry Pi
2](https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-2-model-b/), using roughly
5% of the machine's total CPU.
by Scott Lamb <slamb@slamb.org>. It saves H.264-over-RTSP streams from IP
cameras to disk into a hybrid format: video frames in a directory on
spinning disk, other data in a SQLite3 database on flash. It can construct
`.mp4` files for arbitrary time ranges on-the-fly. It does not decode,
analyze, or re-encode video frames, so it requires little CPU. It handles six
1080p/30fps streams on a [Raspberry Pi
2](https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-2-model-b/), using
less than 10% of the machine's total CPU.
So far, the web interface is basic: just a table with links to one-hour
segments of video. Although the backend supports generating `.mp4` files for
arbitrary time ranges, you have to construct URLs by hand. There's also no
support for motion detection, no authentication, and no config UI.
This is version 0.1, the initial release. Until version 1.0, there will be no
compatibility guarantees: configuration and storage formats may change from
