What You Can Do

  • Discover cameras — Find cameras on your network via ONVIF protocol

  • Record clips — Capture video clips with specified duration
  • Motion detection — Monitor with configurable sensitivity threshold
  • Action triggers — Execute custom commands when motion is detected
  • Probe diagnostics — Test camera connectivity and find RTSP URLs

    • Try Asking

  • "Discover all cameras on my network"
  • "Take a snapshot from the front door camera"
  • "Record a 30-second clip from the driveway camera"
  • "Set up motion detection on the backyard camera with low sensitivity"
  • "Probe the camera at 192.168.1.100 to test connection"
  • "What cameras do I have configured?"
