From first glance to final evidence
Watch live, rewind, investigate — in one fast interface that works on any modern browser.
Every camera on one wall
Build walls from 1×1 to 4×4 or pin a hotspot, save views with hotkeys, auto-cycle and go full screen. Dense walls play a light Sub stream; the big tile gets full quality.
- WebRTC first, HLS fallback
- Saved views & hotkeys
- Main / Sub streams
Scrub the past like a DVR
Drag a timeline, hover for thumbnails, jump to events and export a clip. Recordings stay on your Alta servers — Vision just makes them easy to reach.
- Timeline with thumbnails
- One-click clip export
- Jump straight to events
Find what happened in seconds
Search camera and server events, exported clips and screenshots. Filter by camera, time range and status instead of digging through logs.
- Events, clips, screenshots
- Filters by camera & time
- Full audit log
Everything a security team needs
A complete VMS in one binary: no database or web server to install.
Cameras & ONVIF
Discover cameras over ONVIF, bulk-add with one scan, set Main and Sub streams and choose recording per camera.
Groups & roles

Questions people ask before trying Vision
Do I need a Cesbo Alta server?
Yes. Vision is the control plane for Cesbo Alta: Alta ingests and records the camera streams, and Vision manages them in the browser. Learn more →
What do I need to install it?
A Linux x86-64 host (Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+, RHEL 8+ or similar) with 512 MB RAM, root access, ffmpeg and ffprobe. One command installs the single binary as a systemd service. Learn more →
Where are the recordings stored?
On your Alta servers. Vision keeps its own database and settings on its host, in /var/lib/vision/. Learn more →
How are cameras added?
By ONVIF discovery or by hand, with Main and Sub streams for each camera. Learn more →
What does one license cover?
One license covers one activated device, which is one Vision host. It is not bound to an IP address, hostname, machine ID or hardware. Learn more →
What happens if the license servers are unreachable?
After a successful check, Vision keeps running for up to 30 days without a new answer. In the first 30 minutes after a restart it runs without any answer. Learn more →
Can I back it up and move it to another host?
Yes. vision backup creates a consistent archive and vision restore brings it back, also on another host. Learn more →
Does it work on a phone?
