Monitor security cameras with locally processed AI

Local-only NVR and AI computer vision software for your cameras.
About Viseron
Viseron is a local-only network video recorder (NVR) and AI computer vision application that you run yourself, typically in a single Docker container configured through one YAML file. It provides object detection, motion detection and face recognition, with hardware acceleration on CUDA, Google Coral EdgeTPU and Jetson devices. Released under MIT, it suits homeowners and small sites that want smart camera monitoring without sending video to a cloud service.
