Atmovio, the sky-watching NVR
An open-source Raspberry Pi 5 video recorder that watches IP-camera feeds and alerts users when the sky shows phenomena such as lightning, rainbows, or shelf clouds.
Field notes
Atmovio records verified H.264/H.265 streams from RTSP cameras and uses periodic JPEG snapshots for sky-event classification rather than sending continuous video to a model. Its episode logic turns a prolonged event, such as a 40-minute sunset, into one alert and can cut a clip automatically. The documented setup targets Raspberry Pi 5 hardware, with four to six cameras described as acceptable, and exposes detections through JSON, webhooks, and Home Assistant.
