Clearcam is a self-hosted Python NVR that adds AI object detection, tracking, mobile notifications, and semantic search to any RTSP security camera using tinygrad for local GPU inference. It includes a web UI and an optional iOS app, with premium cloud features for remote viewing and push notifications.
Use cases
- detect trespassers on my security cameras with AI
- add object detection and tracking to my RTSP camera
- search recorded CCTV footage for a specific vehicle
- get phone notifications when a person is detected on camera
- self-hosted NVR alternative to Frigate with GPU inference
- count traffic passing my camera
- view my camera feeds remotely from my iPhone
When to choose
- you have RTSP cameras and a GPU-capable Mac or Linux machine
- you want simple setup and local, private AI detection
- you want semantic search over camera events
- Frigate feels too complex or underuses your GPU
When to avoid
- you need Windows support (ffmpeg fix still needed)
- you want CPU-only inference on cheap hardware
- you need mature integrations and a large community ecosystem
- you require remote mobile notifications without any cloud dependency
