Hi,

I would like to build myself a DIY DVR

Here what I'm targeting

1. The software is FLOSS
2. Have a community/free/gratis version that can handle >= 16 cameras and it's usable (meaning not crazy restricted)
   or
   \ is paying, but not crazy scheme (like subscription etc..) So you pay once, and you can use that version forever for unlimited number of cameras.
3. Lightweight on resources ( can run on a Single-board computer )
4. Can handle Hardware compression.
5. Can handle Passthrough recording (IP camera)
6. Have a HTTP server User interface.
7. Can record audio, when the camera provide it.
8. Motion detection (possible to enable at certain times)
9. extra: Written in Python
10. can record in H265

Thanks.

If you have any reference or any good (recent) article I'm all ears :)
