Multi-camera CCTV software for the Mac

Motion / humans / vehicles / animals / packages

SecuritySpy uses AI in the form of deep neural networks, trained by us on hundreds of thousands of real CCTV images, to work out what is worth recording and what is worth telling you about. Accuracy is over 97% for humans and vehicles, and false triggers from swaying plants, snow, rain and shadows are virtually eliminated.

All processing is done on your Mac, which keeps your video private and latency low. It is fastest on Apple Silicon Macs, thanks to the Neural Engine built into these chips, but Intel Macs handle moderate numbers of cameras well too.

Here's how it works:

Video frame showing person with bicycle  A bespoke lightweight neural network detects whether real motion is present in each video frame, and where it is.
Cropped motion area The image is cropped to the area of motion, ready for the classifier.
Neural network processing The classifier, a custom-trained version of the ResNet-50 Convolution Neural Network, works out what it is looking at.
AI prediction results showing human detected It reports how likely it is that a human, vehicle or animal is present.

You decide what this triggers: for example, you could record all motion but be notified only about people.

 

Package detection

Not everything worth knowing about is moving. Pick a spot such as your doorstep or driveway, and SecuritySpy tells you when an object arrives there and when it goes: so you know when a delivery turns up, and when someone takes it away. This works for people, vehicles and animals too.

Search your footage

What the AI sees is stored with your recordings, so finding every time a person came to your front door takes seconds, rather than hours of scrubbing through your recording history.
