About CrumbVMS
a free, self-hosted NVR that keeps your footage yours
I build CrumbVMS, a self-hosted, privacy-first video management system for security cameras. It records to a disk you own, gives you a real scrubbable timeline and a multi-camera live wall, and sends nothing to the cloud. It's free and open source under AGPL-3.0, with no paid tier and nothing held back: every feature, every client, no camera limits, supporter or not.
It's a side project, built and maintained by one person on his own time, running at home in production today. If CrumbVMS is useful to you, a coffee helps a solo dev keep it moving: more late nights on features, a little toward test hardware. It's never required, and it never buys anything the rest of us don't already get for free.
The code, the honest status, and the update log all live at crumbvms.com. Thanks for even considering it.
