FAQs

Are there any recurring costs associated with using clearcam, given it's open-source?

No, clearcam itself is open-source and free to use. However, you might incur costs for hardware (like an old iPhone or a dedicated server), internet connectivity, or any third-party services you choose to integrate for extended functionality.

What kind of RTSP cameras are compatible with clearcam?

clearcam is designed to work with most standard RTSP-enabled cameras. This includes many IP cameras, NVRs, and even some older CCTV systems that can output an RTSP stream. Specific compatibility might depend on your camera's firmware and configuration.

Can clearcam differentiate between different types of objects, like people, cars, or animals?

Yes, clearcam leverages advanced object detection models that can distinguish between various categories of objects, such as people, vehicles, and animals. This allows for more intelligent alerts and filtering of events based on your specific security needs.

How does clearcam handle privacy, especially when using an old iPhone as an AI system?

As an open-source solution, clearcam processes video streams locally on your hardware (e.g., iPhone or server). This means your video data does not typically leave your local network unless you configure it to do so for specific integrations, enhancing privacy compared to cloud-based services.
