This runs YOLOv8 + bytetrack with Tinygrad detections (depending on user config) are saved and can be sent to the companion iOS app along with a notification, all video processing is done locally, all footage is encrypted before leaving your computer, and the sending notifications + videos part is optional. This uses tinygrad, so it runs well on my apple silicon macs and should be able to run on a lot of hardware (or will be able to when I remove other deps).

Do we still call it CCTV if it's an IP network?

You can use IP on a LAN with no outside access.

It's even recommended when building out a CCTV system with cheap Chinese IP cameras that like to phone home all the time. Stick 'em on a VLAN which can't access anything besides your local NVR.
