Vörðr
Get started

Download Vörðr.

Vörðr is free for up to four cameras on one Windows PC or Linux machine, and that machine runs the complete recorder. During the beta, unlimited cameras and nodes are free. After the beta, Home or Pro lets you add capture nodes on other machines, and an inference node so they share one GPU. Each box records on its own from the first camera.

Downloads

Windows · main unit

The complete recorder with the web UI and the desktop app, for 64-bit Windows 10 or 11.

.exe · x86-64 154 MB

Linux · capture node

Records and detects motion, and uses an inference service on the same machine or, with Home or Pro, on another machine.

.deb · x86-64 277 MB .rpm · x86-64 287 MB

Linux · inference node · CPU

Object detection for capture nodes, running on the CPU.

.deb · ARM64 71 MB .rpm · ARM64 75 MB .deb · x86-64 74 MB .rpm · x86-64 78 MB

Linux · inference node · CUDA

Object detection on an NVIDIA GPU. It needs the CUDA 12 runtime and cuDNN, and it falls back to the CPU without them.

Installer

The installer sets up the recorder, the object detector, the web UI and the desktop app. It bundles ffmpeg, go2rtc and Caddy, and it downloads the .NET runtimes and WebView2 if the machine does not have them. Vörðr runs as Windows services, so it starts on boot and restarts after a crash. After install, you set up cameras and storage in the app, and you can install the web app on your phone.

Linux · capture node

Recording and motion detection

A capture node writes camera streams to disk, runs motion detection and sends frames to an inference service for confirmation. On any plan you can install the inference service on the same machine. With Home or Pro you can use an inference node on another machine instead, by entering its address in the node's settings. If the inference service is unreachable, the node keeps recording.

Linux · inference node

Object detection

An inference node serves object detection over HTTP, either to the capture node on the same machine or, with Home or Pro, to capture nodes across the site. The CUDA build runs on an NVIDIA GPU with the CUDA 12 runtime and cuDNN, and it falls back to the CPU without them. The CPU build has no extra requirements and also runs on ARM64.

Updates

Keep Linux nodes updated with apt or dnf.

If you add the Vörðr repository once, updates arrive with your normal system upgrades. The repository index is signed, and apt and dnf check that signature before they install anything.

Your footage stays on your hardware.

Vörðr needs no account and no subscription. The help pages are built into the app, and they explain every setting.
