Unblink is an AI-powered camera monitoring application that uses a vision language model (Qwen3-VL) to analyze camera frames, summarize activity, and enable natural-language chat and search over recorded video. It uses a relay-node architecture where a local node proxies RTSP/MJPEG camera streams to a publicly reachable server, with a SolidJS frontend and PostgreSQL storage.

Use cases

  • monitor my home security cameras with AI
  • search recorded camera footage using natural language
  • chat with an assistant about what my cameras saw
  • self-hosted NVR with vision language model analysis
  • summarize camera activity automatically
  • view RTSP cameras remotely through a relay
  • get alerts describing what happened on camera

When to choose

  • you want AI/VLM-based analysis and natural-language search over camera feeds
  • you need a self-hosted NVR with remote access via relay nodes
  • you have RTSP or MJPEG cameras and want frame-level semantic understanding
  • you prefer a Go-based, deployable-to-cloud monitoring stack

When to avoid

  • you need a lightweight NVR without AI features or LLM costs
  • you require support for camera protocols beyond RTSP/MJPEG
  • you need a fully offline solution without a relay server
  • AGPL-3.0 licensing is incompatible with your usage
