The System
Continuous recording
Every camera records locally, all the time — fragmented video that survives a crash. Footage lives on a drive you own, never a cloud.
On-device AI detection
A vision model separates people from pets from passing cars, on your own hardware. A measured false-positive filter keeps it from crying wolf.
A real alarm
Arm home or away. Doors open into a spoken countdown, not silence; the alarm resumes correctly even after a power cut. Per-person PINs log who armed and disarmed.
Face recognition
The system recognizes enrolled residents by face and labels events with their name — searchable history included. Shipped 2026-08-31; maturing in daily use.
Instant notifications
When something happens, you get a message with a snapshot and a clip — not a monthly report, not nothing at all.
A voice
The house announces openings, closings and arming out loud in a real voice — an intruder hears the building respond before the siren proves it.
Live zone annunciator
A real-time panel of your sensors and zones, driven by live hardware — no fake channels, nothing shown it can't back with a real sensor.
Sensor integration
Door contacts, motion, and more over local radio — chimes, arming logic, and alerts, all on your network.
Being built
We only claim what runs. These are real, in progress, and honestly not finished — shown so you always know where the line is. See the live build status.
Camera-mounted audio → assistant
Audio understanding — sound events and transcription feeding the AI — is designed and partly built.
Whole-home presence
Extending Accalia from room-level expression to controlling and sensing the whole house is the next major work stream.
This is a working system on developer hardware today, maturing toward a product you can license and self-host. We build in the open and we don't overstate — because a security company that lies to you isn't one worth trusting.
