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).

So the app is free to download from the Apple site, and will run free, and is open source, but you have in-app purchases, and certain features can’t be used until you pay for them, is that right?

What are the paid features and what are the costs? Do I have to install the app to see the list of paid features and costs?

You might get a better response from HN if you give us more info up front.

Paid features are Live and event clip viewing over the internet, and receiving iOS notifications. You're paying for use of my server in those cases though, not for features I've made closed source. You can edit the code to use your own server if you wish too.

I'm new to HN and thought shilling the paid stuff violates the rules, so I didn't mention them.

"I'm new to HN and thought shilling the paid stuff violates the rules, so I didn't mention them."

HN ain't a non profit charity, but is the forum of a venture capitalist company, so talking about paid things does not violate any rules.

Paying for things does cause some folks to champ at the bit, though, so his assessment is not unwarranted.

It mostly gets people going on and on about how they could do it themselves for free.
