Viseron Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Viseron hosting on xCloud lets you deploy Viseron, a self-hosted, local-only NVR with AI computer vision, on your own domain. xCloud runs the pinned official image with six persistent volumes for configuration, recordings, snapshots, thumbnails, event clips and timelapse, turns on user accounts from the first start and publishes it over HTTPS. You create the administrator on the onboarding page at once, then add your cameras.

What is Viseron?

Viseron is self-hosted, local-only NVR and AI computer vision software that records IP camera streams. Upstream lists object detection, motion detection and face recognition, with licence plate recognition among its topics, and you configure it through a built-in web interface, enabling functions as components. A self-hosted Viseron is an AI network video recorder on your own server, in place of cloud camera subscriptions. It is MIT licensed.

On xCloud it is Viseron 3.7.0, the official image pinned by digest, as one container with a built-in database. The viseron_config, viseron_segments, viseron_snapshots, viseron_thumbnails, viseron_event_clips and viseron_timelapse volumes hold settings and media. Recording and detection run on the CPU only, with no GPU, Coral or hardware decoding, and your cameras must be reachable from this server.

From Sign-Up to a Live Camera Recorder In Just 3 Easy Steps

A self-hosted NVR normally means a container with generous shared memory, volumes for every kind of recording, a domain, a certificate and a first-run config that keeps the settings editor from sitting open. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Viseron from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — there are no extra fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official Viseron image, pinned by immutable digest, as a single container with its database, web server and streaming inside, mount the viseron_config, viseron_segments, viseron_snapshots, viseron_thumbnails, viseron_event_clips and viseron_timelapse volumes, switch login on, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain. The first start takes one to two minutes while the built-in database initialises.
Step 03
Create The Administrator And Add Cameras
Open your HTTPS Viseron URL and create the administrator account on the onboarding page straight away — until it exists, the first visitor can claim it. Then add your cameras under Settings > Configuration using stream addresses, such as RTSP, that the server can reach.

Everything Viseron Does, On Your Own Server

Viseron runs in full here: a camera recorder with computer vision on your own domain, with every setting edited from the web interface.

Camera Recording And Live Views
Record IP camera streams and watch live views from the web interface.
Object, Face And License Plate Detection
Run object, motion and face detection on camera streams, enabled per camera as components in the settings editor.
Settings Editor Built In
Configure everything from Settings > Configuration in the web interface, so there are no config files to upload.
Login From The First Start
The template seeds a first-start config that requires a login, and the first visitor creates the administrator account on the onboarding page.
One Container, Nothing Else To Run
The database, web server and streaming run inside the single Viseron container, so there is no sidecar to manage.
Persistent Recordings And Settings
Settings, users and the built-in database sit on one volume; segments, snapshots, thumbnails, event clips and timelapse each have their own.

What You Can Do With Viseron

Record cameras to your own disk
Add IP camera streams and keep recordings, snapshots and event clips on your server's disk, so footage is not held by a camera vendor's cloud.
Review only clips where something was detected
Run object detection and motion detection on the streams, so you review clips where a person or vehicle appeared instead of hours of empty video.
Recognise faces and licence plates
Use face recognition and licence plate recognition components on camera streams, so an entrance camera records who or what arrived.
Watch live streams in the browser
Open the web interface to see live streams and past events from any browser, protected by the administrator login you create.

Viseron vs Alternatives

Cloud camera subscriptions: A cloud service stores footage on the vendor's servers for a fee. Viseron is local-only software that records to a volume on your own server, with detection run there.
Frigate: Frigate is another self-hosted NVR with object detection. Upstream's Viseron page makes no comparison, so check which detectors and hardware you need; this template is CPU only.
go2rtc: go2rtc has its own OneClick page. It restreams camera feeds; Viseron records and analyses streams, and its cameras must be reachable from the server.
Home Assistant: Home Assistant has its own OneClick page. Viseron focuses on recording and computer vision, and its components are configured through its own web interface.

Hear what people are saying about us

See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.

xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!

Brian Geovanny

I've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.

Kevin Pineda

I'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting

How Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud

Ed Ellingham

xCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.

Dumitru Butucel

xCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.

Waqar Ahmed

Trust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍

Rahul Singh

So far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.

Massimo Villa

Came from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.

Gerson El

I've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.

Tony Lewis

I came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.

Jared McDowell

I like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose

How Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently

Kevin Heinrichs

I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.

Dan Spinoza

Dear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.

Rahil Maknojia

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

xCloud gave me what no other hosting platform could: the flexibility of a VPS with the convenience of managed WordPress. As a solo founder running an entire business on one server, that combination is an important unfair advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

How much RAM does Viseron need?

The template floor is 2048 MB of RAM, 2 CPU cores and 20 GB of disk, with detection running on the CPU. More cameras and heavier detection need more cores, and recordings grow the disk quickly, so choose capacity for your camera count.

Can you self-host Viseron with Docker?

Yes, and this template is viseron docker hosting without the setup: the official image pinned by digest, six named volumes for config and media, user accounts switched on from the first start and HTTPS on your own domain.

Which detection features does Viseron have?

Upstream lists object detection, motion detection and face recognition, and licence plate recognition appears among its topics. Features are enabled as components in Settings, Configuration, so check the component list for your version.

Can Viseron use a GPU or Coral?

Not in this template. Upstream supports CUDA and Coral among its topics, but recording here is CPU-only, with no GPU, Coral or hardware decoding available. Plan for CPU load, and enough cores, when you add cameras.

How do I create the first Viseron administrator?

Open the site right after install and create the administrator on the onboarding page. Until that account exists, the first visitor can claim it. To reset a forgotten password, delete the onboarding and auth files in the config volume and restart.

Is Viseron an alternative to Frigate or cloud camera subscriptions?

It covers the same job: local recording with AI detection, without sending video to a vendor. Upstream makes no comparison with Frigate, so test detection on your cameras. You run the server, disk and security yourself.

Is Viseron free?

Yes. Viseron is open source under the MIT licence, so the software has no licence fee. Your cost is the Cloud VPS and its disk, so this Viseron cloud install keeps all footage on a server you control.

How do I back up Viseron?

Back up viseron_config, which holds your settings and cameras, first. The segments, snapshots, thumbnails, event clips and timelapse volumes hold recordings, so copy them if you need the footage. Keep a copy off the server.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade Viseron?

Viseron stays on the pinned 3.7.0 image until a newer template version is adopted. Copy the config volume beforehand and check the release notes. No upgrade is automatic, and redeploying keeps all six volumes.

Is the Viseron login secure enough for the internet?

Upstream notes the login has not been security audited. Anyone who reaches an administrator account can add cameras, change ffmpeg options and view every recording, so consider putting Cloudflare Access or a VPN in front of the site.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no lock-in — cancel any time. Hosting is billed monthly and charged for what you actually use, so when you delete the server the unused balance is refunded to your account, less up to 10% in payment-processing fees.
