Welcome to the Platform Administration hub.

OpenNVR is an enterprise-grade engine designed to provide unprecedented control over your surveillance infrastructure. The guides in this section are intended for system administrators, DevOps engineers, and security officers responsible for deploying and governing the core capabilities of the platform.

Use the sidebar navigation to explore deep technical guides, or jump into the critical administration topics below:

• Bring Your Own Key (BYOK): Master the cryptographic foundations. Learn how to generate, govern, and rotate the AES-256 keys used to encrypt your metadata and recording volumes at rest.
• AI BYOM & Cloud Routing: Understand the stateless AI adapter architecture. Connect local tensor models, generate Hugging Face API tokens, and troubleshoot orchestrator routing.
• Media Server Configuration: Deep-dive into MediaMTX. Learn how OpenNVR dynamically pushes RTSP/WebRTC routes and manages synchronous internal webhooks.
• Storage Volume Mapping: Architect massive Linux data-stores. Bind OpenNVR seamlessly to external NAS arrays, SAN volumes, or local high-speed NVMe arrays.
• User Governance & RBAC: Establish strict Roles-Based Access Control matrixes and mandate cryptographic password policies across your administrative fleet.
• System & Network Monitoring: Parse bare-metal eth0 packet telemetry and realtime VRAM hardware saturation directly from the dashboard.
• OTA Updates & Security: Patch the OpenNVR underlying Linux host against zero-day CVEs automatically using the native Over-The-Air deployment capabilities.
• Audit Logging & Compliance: Export strict, immutable system modification trails to prove regulatory compliance and track down unauthorized access attempts.
• Cameras & Retention Engine: Dictate exactly how long recordings reside on disk before automated pruning reclaims server storage.
