AI on your own graphics card
Detection and tracking run in real time on your NVIDIA GPU. It handles several cameras and several cards, and falls back to the processor when it has to.
Now in early access for Windows
Security cameras that understand what they see.
Vantage Security turns your Windows PC and NVIDIA graphics card into an AI video recorder. It tells a courier from a prowler, a parked car from an arriving one, and you from a stranger. Your video never leaves your house.

Features
Fewer false alarms. More of what matters.
Most cameras yell every time a leaf moves. Vantage Security watches like a person would: it follows who and what is moving, and only speaks up when it counts.
Delivery radar
It reads your carriers' shipping e-mails, read-only, arms itself when a package is out for delivery, and chimes and announces the moment the courier drops it off.
Knows you from a stranger
Face recognition that checks many frames before it decides, not one blurry snapshot, plus body and clothing matching when a face is turned away.
Parked cars stay quiet
Vehicles that live in your driveway never raise an alarm, yet anything moving past them still does. At night, a headlight detector catches cars arriving in the dark.
Playback that keeps up
Continuous recording with a 24-hour timeline you can scrub by hovering. Colour-coded events, zoom and enhance, and exports with timecode and watermark.
Search in plain words
Type "red truck" or "person with a dog" and find the moment. The search runs on your PC, not on someone else's server.
Alerts on your wrist
A Wear OS app for Pixel and Galaxy watches plays clips, shows live cameras and runs the radar. Photo alerts reach any watch, Apple Watch included.
Talk through the camera
Tap, speak and your voice plays on the camera's speaker, from the dashboard or your watch. Switch a camera's spotlight on from there too.
Alerts your way
Telegram with photo and a short clip, Windows notifications, a chime loud enough to hear across the house, Home Assistant, and a morning briefing of the night.
Run it all from Telegram
A control center in your chat: live pictures, the last 30 seconds of any camera, clips of any length from any time, modes, the radar, and a switch for every kind of alert.
Just tell it what you want
Type or say "send me 30 seconds of that" or "what happened last night?". It remembers your household and keeps a day-by-day journal. Pick one of nine personalities, or make your own.
Automations in plain words
"Every morning at 7, send me the driveway." "When I'm away and a courier comes, send a clip." Approve it once and it runs by itself, the same way every time.
Privacy by design
Your cameras. Your computer. Your footage.
Cloud cameras send every second of your front door to someone else's data centre. Vantage Security does the opposite: everything it sees is recorded and analysed on the PC in your house.
- Recordings stay on your drives. You pick the folder and the drive. Nothing is uploaded.
- Faces stay on your PC. The people you teach it are stored locally and never leave.
- Cloud AI is optional. For a second opinion on tricky events you can plug in an AI service with your own key, or a local model.
- Its memory stays home too. What the assistant remembers about your household is kept on your PC, and settings changes always wait for your OK.
- You hold the keys. Telegram control answers only your own chat, and each watch gets its own token.

How it works
Up and running in an evening.
No new wiring and no new cameras: it works with the ones you have.
Install on your PC
One setup program, no administrator rights. It picks your largest drive for recordings and fetches the AI packages that match your graphics card.
Add your cameras
It finds ONVIF cameras on your network and checks what each one can do: its streams, its speaker and its spotlight.
Let it watch
Pair your watch or phone and get on with your day. Updates install from inside the app, with a backup and automatic roll-back.

Questions
Good to know.
Does my video go to the cloud?
No. Recording, detection, face recognition and search all run on your PC. Alerts send the photo or short clip you choose to your own Telegram, phone or watch. An AI service for second opinions is optional and uses your own key; you can also run a model locally.
Which cameras work?
Cameras that offer an RTSP stream, which is most IP cameras from brands like Reolink, Amcrest, Dahua, Hikvision and Night Owl. ONVIF cameras are discovered on your network automatically, and a built-in check shows what each camera supports.
Do I need a powerful computer?
An NVIDIA graphics card makes real-time AI smooth, and a mid-range RTX card handles several cameras. With two cards, Vantage Security spreads the work across both. Without one, it runs on the processor, more slowly.
What does it cost?
One camera is free, with no time limit. Every new copy starts with a 30-day trial of Pro for all your cameras. Pro pricing is announced at launch.
Does the chat assistant cost extra?
No. Everyday requests like "away mode", "mute the porch for an hour" or "last 30 seconds of the driveway" are understood by the program itself, free and instantly. Open-ended questions use an AI service with your own key (Gemini costs fractions of a cent a question), and you can turn AI chat off: the buttons and commands always work.
What about face recognition and the law?
Faces are stored only on your PC, and you decide who is enrolled. Some places have rules about recording and recognising faces, so check what applies where you live before turning it on.
