Watch your cameras from anywhere — without handing your footage to a vendor's AI. Motion detection runs on your hardware. Recordings stay yours.
Live HLS streaming with sub-10-second latency. Camera Node uploads segments in real-time — the cloud holds only a rolling 60-second buffer in memory.
Cloud-hosted, globally accessible, and secure by default — without the privacy trade-offs of traditional surveillance.
Sign up and connect cameras — no servers to run, no port forwarding, no static IPs, no VPN required.
HTTPS from camera to browser. Recordings sealed at rest with AES-256-GCM using a machine-id-derived key — a stolen drive is unreadable.
Live HLS segments cached in RAM by Command Center — fast, simple, and no per-request object-store fees.
Organizations with role-based permissions. Admin and member roles. Invite team members to monitor cameras together.
HLS streaming with sub-10-second latency. Camera Node uploads segments in real-time for near-live viewing.
Give AI tools direct visual access to your cameras via the Model Context Protocol. 23 tools, scope-locked per key.
Cloud security cameras stream every frame to a vendor's servers. Your Camera Node is different — it sits on your network, records to its own encrypted disk, and runs motion analysis locally. The cloud only ever holds a rolling 60-second live buffer in memory.
AES-256-GCM with a key derived from your device's OS machine ID.Camera Node at your premises. Command Center in the cloud. Camera Node pushes out — no router config, no exposed ports.
Runs on any device with a USB camera. Captures video, generates HLS segments, pushes them to Command Center over HTTPS.
Web dashboard for viewing cameras, managing organizations, and controlling access. In-memory HLS cache, Clerk multi-tenant auth, 23 MCP tools.
