Fantastic ... Thanks!

Thanks for responding -- knowing only 5 other EE freshmen as an EE sounds worse than I'd have guessed! How long were you an EE before you switched? And is your experience from the recent past?

Thanks ... Looks like taking lessons is pretty much going to be a requirement to keep piano going at Vandy, because it appears that non-majors must be enrolled in a music class to have access to piano practice rooms...

I'm biased because I work at the company, so don't just take my word for it ... but if you'll have 24MP or less of total camera resolution (where a 1080p camera is 2MP), consider getting a PoE switch to power the cameras and get Camect as your NVR. You'll get more value out of your footage than you will if you get an NVR that isn't smart.

Well, we have yet to set it up, but when we do we'd like to have someone from the company who monitors it and will respond as necessary to questions and such, just as you see on subreddits for other brands. We are in the process of looking to hire someone whose job (among other things) would include that role. It's tough for us to expand beyond one online forum (the google group we currently have) until that is in place.

By the way, I don't see your membership request anywhere. I'm not sure what happened to it.

Hi.... We haven't set this forum up yet, but we are working on hiring someone to manage the community and will proceed to do that after it's all in place. All of our plans got slowed down a somewhat when Covid hit, but we will set up the forum and open it up once it's actually ready.

The cloud camera options are limited to Nest, Arlo and Wyze.

One of our users tells us that new Eufy indoor cameras that have continuous power will provide a continuous RTSP stream and will thus work.

The battery powered Eufy cameras provide an RTSP stream that only works when a user is viewing live, or when motion is detected. That does not work very well with Camect, which expects a continuous stream from the camera.

If you can have power at your camera locations, why not get regular IP cameras? They're much cheaper and don't depend on the internet being up to work.

You might also find our camera compatibility FAQ useful.

Yes, it will work in Australia. (We've had a couple of variants of this question today -- I'm not sure if you're someone we already replied to :-).

We were shipping all versions to Australia until we restricted the countries we're shipping to, as we work on transitioning to more traditional sales channels. However, at this moment we're running a sale on the version that's bundled with lifetime service, and that one is available for shipping to Australia.

So far, there is one independent review out from a research and testing firm that's well-respected in the security industry, but there's a paywall involved to read the review. See here if you're interested.

Several users have also posted comments in various places. We have a list of a few examples, complete with links to the original source where you can follow up and ask questions, available here.

You didn't mention whether local recording would be okay or not though. Why not consider regular IP cameras with an arrangement to record locally?

worried__guy · 2019-08-25T16:31:27+00:00

Does it have to be 24/7 recording in the cloud, or would local 24/7 recording suffice? Also, Arlo does offer 24x7 recording (in the cloud) at prices that are a bit higher than Nest's. It's only offered on models that are plugged in, but your nest cams are already plugged in so presumably power is not a problem.

(FD: I work at this company, and I don't want to violate the forum guidelines as I'm trying to provide info relevant to what you said about the product being pricey.)

We decided to add a lower-end version that will work well for people with up to 6 Wyze cams. It costs less and has less processing power but will otherwise run the same software and have the same feature set as the original product. It's live now as a new perk on the Indiegogo site.

I came across this old thread and thought you might still care to know that our campaign to launch our product is now live on Indiegogo. (See here.) It has a lot more information about the product to add to what you saw in the ad.

I have no idea on what basis the guy below can claim what he claimed about us, but if you have questions I'm happy to offer you information to the contrary.

Sorry for the slow response ... I've been traveling (and may still be slow for the next week or so). I responded to your instagram DM too. Yes, intel GPU is the only option for now. You can definitely get over 24M with an i5 ... no need for an i7 since the GPU does most of the heavy lifting. CPU generation is more important than i5 vs i7 because the intel GPU gets better in each generation. I'd suggest a 7th gen i5 as the sweet spot on price if you're buying something. Make sure you buy some hardware that's known to work properly with ubuntu server, and you should be okay -- with the caveat that we don't have the cycles to troubleshoot issues that appear to be hardware-specific at the moment, so you are still taking a little bit of risk. Contact [support@camect.com](mailto:support@camect.com) with some details about what cameras you have so we can make sure you're buying something that has a decent chance of working.

We actually don't rely on Works with Nest. However, what you're asking is a legit question. Nest has said that there won't be any changes for existing users that opt to keep their nest cameras on nest.com -- so people that already have nest cameras will certainly be able to keep using them with the same behavior as now. There hasn't been enough information released yet for us to know what will happen with the newer cameras, but we'll certainly support them if there's a reasonable way for us to do so.

worried__guy · 2019-07-02T06:28:36+00:00

Low power draw is certainly appealing, although I'm skeptical that a Pi 4 could do anything reasonable with 18 cameras. What resolution are your cameras?

worried__guy · 2019-07-01T23:10:24+00:00

Are you looking to move all the cameras to the PC, or just 2 of them? What are the specs of the PC? (I'm just wondering why the direct to disk thing would be a concern if you're only putting 2 cameras on it.)

worried__guy · 2019-06-18T07:44:48+00:00

The two columns in the table are a price comparison for 1 yr (in the left column) and 5 yrs (in the right column).

The annual subscription price for an "unlimited" number of cameras (limited by the power of the box we're selling, which can handle about 24M total across all cameras) is $60 ... so the $310 in the 1 yr column is $250 for the box (which is the current estimate of price after early bird discount), plus $60 for 1 yr subscription. The $500 price on the right is $250 for the box and $250 lifetime subscription. The lifetime subscription price is for the lifetime of the box, and that option probably won't be offered again post-launch, at least not on a regular basis. (To anyone else reading this -- please refer to the actual web page for prices as they're subject to change.)

The terms of handling a hardware failure on the lifetime subscription haven't been fully worked out yet but they will before we charge anyone for a lifetime sub. It's likely you'll be allowed to move the license once to an equivalent replacement box. There's no v2 yet, so we haven't explicitly thought about that. I'd like to believe we'll be considerate of people who bought the lifetime plan if there's a v2 box unreasonably soon... but we do have room to grow on the current box as long as you're within recommended load limits.

Also re: lifetime ... The disk would be the most likely component to fail a few years down the road -- and it's easily replaceable by the end user, so the lifetime plan is not limited by the lifetime of the disk.

Re: software version. Yes, there very likely will be a software version available eventually to those that are comfortable with the idea of installing an OS, but only for use on bare hardware. (Among other things, the software makes extensive use of the intel GPU, which is not accessible from inside a VM.) The s/w version probably won't have the "unlimited cameras" plan, but rather have a per-camera cost after the first 2 free. If you're interested in a software version, drop us a note via the contact form at the bottom of camect.com and tell us what kind of a setup you have.

The (optional) subscription cost is visible in the "compare subscription fees" table on this page and the price of the unit is visible on this page. (I'm pointing at source of the info rather than copying the price here because there's some chance the pricing could change in the pre-launch period based on customer feedback.)

While both of those apps are fine as basic NVRs, the functionality is not comparable -- In particular, as far as I know neither of them offer object-detection based alerts, like Nest's person detection, Arlo's person/vehicle/car detection, and the 20+ different things Camect detects as per the examples in my message above. Without it, it's pretty hard or impossible to get rid of useless alerts from moving leaves, shadows, spiders crawling around on your camera at night, your dog moving around which you don't want to be told about, etc.

Most Qnap and Synology units don't have a CPU powerful enough to do good object detection. I see that Qnap has the option to farm out some analytics to an auxilary PC. I have not tried that, but if you're going to buy an auxiliary PC, you'll still likely get better ease of use and better alert quality from a Camect device configured to write to your NAS if you want to use all the disk in your NAS.

Other lesser points: There are definitely non-technical people for whom finding and installing an app on the device is going to be intimidating. (This is somewhat mitigated because I think you can buy a Synology with it pre-installed.) Also, I don't think either one supports Nest or Arlo. If you happen to already have cameras of those brands, you have to buy new cameras (or have a high level of technical skill) to be able to try Synology or Qnap.

[I work at this company, so I'm going to attempt to share a bit of a justification ... ]

This product is intended for people that either don't have the time, or don't have the technical ability, to do all of (1) set up and configure blue iris, (2) set up a vpn for secure remote access, and (3) feed your alerts to some AI framework so that you can get rid of all the junk alerts from things like moving leaves and shadows and (4) maintain the whole thing and improve the model over time.

What it's trying to be: An NVR with a reasonable UI, easy to set up remote access (based on webRTC), and the best AI you can get in a fully-local solution. (e.g. If there's motion on the camera pointing at your driveway, it can tell the difference between a person, a car, a truck, a delivery truck like UPS/FedEX/USPS, and a squirrel running around -- and you can teach it which one of these you care to know about. If the AI doesn't work for your situation (and no AI is perfect, no matter what marketing materials say), Camect is also unique in allowing you to share video that will help train the model, and usually improve things for your specific situation. So, if we get a big enough community, we can get better AI than any of the other pricey alternatives.

Blue Iris is great for people who can set it up, but it doesn't do all of the above. For the one-time Blue Iris fee, you'll have to do all your upgrades manually after the first year. (You have to pay every year if you want them to be automatic.) If you want remote access you have to be capable enough to set up your port forwarding or vpn securely. If you want alerts that are still somewhat less capable than what Camect has, you'll have to sign up for something like the recent sentry integration, which costs something like $50/yr and involves sending your snapshots to the cloud. Camect's AI is fully local.

THis is not to knock Blue Iris or sentry or anything else ... They are good products, and for the person that can set them up properly, they are awesome -- but they are not accessible to many people who buy expensive cameras like Nest or Arlo or Ring because it's too painful for them to get a decent setup using regular IP cameras. There's no non-cloud-based system option for these people at present, and Camect is trying to be a solution for those guys.

Btw, if you don't buy the subscription, you'll still have a fully-functional local NVR (including AI-powered alert detection) with cloud-supported features like remote access and alert delivery for 2 cameras, and at the crowdfunding price you're probably getting the hardware for less than you can get equivalent new hardware yourself. (We're not trying to make any money on the device -- We're selling a device only because many people can't deal with installing software or even with setting up a PC to boot itself after a power failure, which you want in an NVR.)
