Your PC's camera, your storage, your rules.
Smart Security Camera turns the webcam on your Windows 11 PC into a home security camera. It records, detects motion and tells people, pets and vehicles apart on the device. Nothing leaves the PC unless you switch it on.
Smart Security Camera turns the webcam on your Windows 11 PC into a home security camera. Detection runs on the device; nothing leaves the PC unless you switch it on.
The Windows app needs no account.
What it keeps to itself
No subscription, no company holding your footage, no frames leaving the PC for detection.
Stays on your PC
Detection runs on the device. Recordings roll over inside a size cap you set, like a dash cam, and every event is marked on a 24-hour timeline.
Your own cloud, if you want it
Event clips go to a folder in your own Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox or iCloud Drive. Private mode encrypts them on the PC first; the recovery phrase stays with you.
Watch from anywhere, encrypted end to end
Open the phone app wherever you are and see your cameras live: listen, talk back, sound the siren. Only your phones can decrypt the video; the service stores no video, pictures or recordings, ever.

Google, Microsoft or Apple. The provider only proves who you are.
Your cameras appear
Each recording PC sends one sealed still, so you see the room rather than a placeholder.
Watch, talk, sound the siren
Listen, hold to talk through the PC’s speakers, capture, record, full screen.
What it sees
Motion opens an event; the detector says what caused it. Every event lands on the day's timeline.
Night vision. When the room is dark the app uses the PC's infrared camera, if it has one.
Faces. Enrol the household and known people are labelled someone you know. Face data never leaves the PC.
Descriptions and rules, with your own key
Add an Anthropic API key and a monthly budget to get one-sentence event descriptions, plain-language rules like “ignore my cat” or “alert me at the door after 22:00”, answers about your day and a morning digest. Only a few still frames per event are sent, and calls stop at your budget.
A person walked to the front door, left a parcel and went back down the path.
Privacy, in one breath
Nothing leaves the PC by default.
Your cloud account, not ours.
The relay cannot see your video.
No telemetry, no analytics, no crash reporting.
In a folder you choose on the PC, inside the size cap you set — by default Videos\Security Camera. The oldest are deleted first when the cap is reached. If you turn on cloud upload, event clips are copied to a folder in your own cloud account as well.
