Add object detection, tracking, mobile notifications, and search to any security camera.

What it solves

Clearcam transforms standard security cameras into intelligent monitoring systems by adding advanced object detection, tracking, and AI-powered summaries to existing RTSP feeds.

How it works

The system consists of a Python-based server that handles NVR (Network Video Recording) and AI inference. It processes camera streams to detect and track objects, allowing users to define specific zones for monitoring. It integrates with vision-language models like Qwen3 VL to generate natural language summaries of notifications. Users can view live feeds and event clips via a web interface or dedicated iOS and Android apps.

Who it’s for

Homeowners or security enthusiasts who own RTSP cameras and want to add smart detection and AI summaries without replacing their hardware.

Highlights

  • AI Notification Summaries: Uses Qwen3 VL to provide descriptive summaries of detected events.
  • Customizable Alerts: Supports integration with Home Assistant, Pushover, and N8N for personalized notifications.
  • Cross-Platform Access: Includes a web UI and native mobile apps for iOS and Android.
  • GPU Acceleration: Supports AMD and NVIDIA GPUs for improved inference performance.
