    Camect - New “do all” box

    Depends on what you mean by "in a certain area". You can mark off areas in the view of a camera that you consider interesting, and, if a person is detected in one of them you can get an announcement played on any cast receiver (i.e. any chromecast device, android tv, Google Home device, etc), or...

    Yes, the option to do that is still available. Send mail to support@camect.com asking about it and mention that you came from this forum. Thanks.

    Blue Iris vs Protect vs Camect

    Not Camect. Your video is never sent to the cloud. Camect AI is 100% local to that little box with a Celeron J3455 and 4GB of RAM :-). It will work even if your internet connection is down. Without internet, you won't be able to get notifications or email alerts, but you can review the alerts...

    New NVR Startup I'm Beta Testing (Camect)

    There aren't any filters for weather, and you shouldn't need them .... One major point of Camect is you shouldn't get nonsense alerts from weather. Camect sends you alerts when it detects specific objects in the video... so if you get any alerts from snow, it would be due to incorrect detections...

    New NVR Startup I'm Beta Testing (Camect)

    5 cameras were used as an example in the price comparison -- if that's what you're looking at -- because the price comparison gets more favorable to Camect the more cameras you use, and 5 is still what an "average" home has. The actual limit is roughly 24MP of total camera resolution ... i.e...

    Camect - New “do all” box

    The "5th generation or later" covers the GPU -- The later intel processor generations have much better integrated GPUs. What you'll need also depends on how much camera capacity you're hooking up to it, of course -- hence the requirement to include cameras and resolutions as well as processor...

    Camect - New “do all” box

    It can mostly replace your NVR, except that it does not have a PoE switch built into the back of it like your Dahua NVR does if your cameras plug into the back of the NVR. If you want replace your NVR outright, you'd have to plug your cameras into a PoE switch to power them and connect them to...

    Camect - New “do all” box

    For people of sufficient technical ability, we do provide the option to try running our software on your own intel x86 hardware as long as your hardware meets the minimum specs. You must minimally be very comfortable with the idea of reinstalling an OS from scratch, as you'll have to do that if...

    Camect - New “do all” box

    We are not looking at SmartThings yet, but it is a reasonably popular integration request and we are likely to look at it eventually after we get to the top two, which are Alexa and Google Home. Note that we'll also have an integration API that someone else could use to do an integration even...

    Camect - New “do all” box

    By the way, in case anyone is still following this thread, we set up a live demo of Camect object detection alerts by taking two random cameras (not under our control) that are streaming publicly to youtube, hooking them up to Camect, and sending email alerts produced to a Google group. You can...

    Camect - New “do all” box

    Thanks so much for the support, and please do feel free to spread the word. We need whatever publicity we can get to get it off the ground. We're also offering an 11% commission on referrals (via camect.kickbooster.me) in case anyone wants to convince their less-technical friends that this is...

    Camect - New “do all” box

    No concrete promise on this, but like many other intro subscription offers, it's very likely that if you sign up at $60/yr we're going to let you renew at that price too as long as there is no interruption in subscription. The price for signup after device delivery is yet to be determined. And...

    Camect - New “do all” box

    There's no explicit limit on USB disk or NAS size that we're aware of. (None that we impose, and I don't think the linux kernel does either.) If you really load it up with a giant NAS and also have max camera load it's theoretically possible that it could start to have memory issues having to...

    Camect - New “do all” box

    It is actually wall-mountable, more by accident than by design. (We used a standard case offered by the factory, and it turned out to be wall mountable.) 24M is the max recommended total resolution of your cameras. (If they add to more than that, your load is likely too much for this CPU to...

    Oh... Thanks. If that's what he meant then the answer is yes, as you suspected.
