24 alternatives to Clearcam – Add AI object detection to your IP CCTV cameras
This runs YOLOv8 + bytetrack with Tinygrad detections (depending on user config) are saved and can be sent to the companion iOS app along with a notification, all video processing is done locally, all footage is encrypted before leaving your computer, and the sending notifications + videos part is optional. This uses tinygrad, so it runs well on my apple silicon macs and should be able to run on a lot of hardware (or will be able to when I remove other deps).
Clearcam adds AI-powered object detection to IP CCTV cameras using YOLOv8 and bytetrack technology. It processes all video locally on the user's computer and encrypts footage before any data leaves the device.… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

Heeey! I built a macOS copilot that has been useful to me, so I open sourced it in case others would find it useful too. It's pretty simple: - Use a keyboard shortcut to take a screenshot of your active macOS window and start recording the microphone. - Speak your question, then press the keyboard shortcut again to send your question + screenshot off to OpenAI Vision - The Vision response is presented in-context/overlayed over the active window, and spoken to you as audio. - The app keeps running in the background, only taking a screenshot/listening when activated by keyboard…

Before the pandemic, my tiny startup was doing quite well selling Edge AI systems, based on our own lightweight AI inference engine, with object detection and face recognition for smart city and smart retail & food service applications. When the real world shut down, there was suddenly nothing to monitor on streets and in restaurants, so I set out to try and evolve our real time face recognition system into a video codec for high quality face-to-face online interactions, as I was not satisfied with the quality of Zoom and friends. I got it to work, and the first release for IOS was just…

Hey, just a work related project I made, which could be open sourced :D If you're looking for an example on how to use/fine-tune yolov8, I feel like taking a look at this repo and reading the README could help you get up to speed (also linked some nice refs)! This is actually a full rewrite of a proprietary project I made (and documented on my site) like a year ago, will do some finishing touches (write blog post about it, mark the old version deprecated, record a tutorial on how to set it up on an Ubuntu server, etc, etc) in the following month, but felt like sharing it now, cuz I…

CueCam Presenter is my Mac app (actually a suite of Mac and iOS apps) to run better presentations on your webcam. Editing cards should feel natural to anybody used to Markdown. I came to create CueCam as an "embedded entrepreneur". I had some success with my camera app "Shoot Pro Webcam" back in 2020 and built on this by creating squares.tv. As I talked to more and more users, I discovered more opportunities to make their lives easier. I started with features in Shoot (camera options, pausing, drawing etc..).. Then I created Video Pencil (which connects to your computer and lets you draw on…
