Security Cameras

Camera systems with local AI detection powered by Frigate NVR. No cloud subscriptions, no monthly fees, no vendor lock-in. Just reliable surveillance that you own and control — affordable enough for any small business.

Why local AI?

Local AI Detection

Frigate runs on your hardware, not in the cloud. Person, vehicle, and animal detection happens locally — fast, private, and with no recurring fees.

No Subscriptions

Most camera vendors lock useful features behind monthly plans. With a local NVR setup, you own the system outright. No cloud dependency, no surprise charges.

Reliable Recording

Footage is stored on your own hardware — not at the mercy of an internet outage or a cloud provider's uptime. If the internet goes down, your cameras keep recording.

Remote Access

Check your cameras from anywhere. I configure secure remote access so you can view live feeds and playback from your phone or desktop without exposing your network.
