On-prem VMS · Ubuntu Server · No cloud required
Professional video surveillance on hardware you own
CoreSight turns a clean Ubuntu server into a full video management system — live view, recording, playback, AI analytics, and alarms — with a single command. Your cameras, your storage, your footage.
curl -fsSL https://coresightvms.com/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- --prodFree for your first 4 cameras — every feature included.
Everything a control room needs
Cameras that just connect
ONVIF discovery, vendor-native drivers (Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Hanwha…), subnet scanning for routed networks, and a credential vault.
24/7 recording you can trust
Continuous, scheduled, or motion-triggered recording to crash-safe segments, across multiple storage pools with retention and legal hold.
AI analytics on the box
Object detection, tracking and counting, face recognition, license plates, fire and smoke — all local, with smart search into the exact clip.
Alarms that reach you
Events become alarms with acknowledge/assign/clear workflows, escalation policies, and webhook, email, and web-push notifications.
Hardened by default
Non-root services, default-deny firewall, hash-chained audit log, role-based access with per-camera scoping. Your footage never leaves the site.
Licensing without lock-in
The first 4 cameras are free forever. Licenses are perpetual per-camera seats, issued offline — no subscription, no cloud dependency.
One package, one server
A single .deb installs the whole system — database, media pipeline, web UI, firewall rules. No Docker, no Kubernetes, no account signup. Updates apply from inside the app.
Built for operators
Sub-second live video over WebRTC, a synchronized multi-camera timeline, and an interface designed for long shifts in dim control rooms — dense, predictable, keyboard-friendly.
Yours, permanently
Recordings stay on your disks. Licenses are perpetual and verified offline. If a license is ever missing, CoreSight degrades to the free tier — it never locks you out of your own footage.
Up and running in one command
Point it at a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 server, run the installer, and log in over HTTPS. Adding your first camera takes minutes.
