Octosec

Self-contained NVR · 8 cameras · 16 streams

Security footage you really own.

Octosec records the cameras you already own, on hardware you already own. One event bus ingests every stream and fans it out to the recorder, the detector, the live wall and your phone. No cloud, no account, no subscription.

8 cameras recording on one machine, 24 hours a day, since July 2026
16 RTSP streams ingested — a main and a substream per camera
~5% of a 20-core NAS for the whole stack, under 1 GiB of RAM

Measured on a QNAP TVS-h874 · 8 cameras / 16 streams

The live wall screen: eight cameras and three vcams as tiles, each at its true aspect, with the fleet event rail alongside. A design render, not a live capture.

It is yours

The recordings are files on your disk, in your building. There is no account to create, no cloud to trust and no server of ours between you and your cameras.

II

It is small

One event loop; no libc in the core. The whole stack runs a live eight-camera fleet in about 5% of a 20-core NAS and under 1 GiB of RAM. Every number on this site carries the box it was measured on.

III

Documented at the seams

One documented bus that anything can subscribe to, and one documented camera vocabulary that anything can implement. The phone app is just another subscriber — and so is whatever you build.

What we are not doing

The list is short and it is public. Everything else on this site is a fact the system can stand behind, measured on a stated machine.

No ONVIF. Reolink is the shipped driver; any vendor can implement the ABI.
Camera auto-discovery: not yet. It is on the roadmap; today cameras are declared, once, in one config file.
Push notifications: not yet. On the roadmap; today alerting lives on the recorder, off the phone.
No multi-site management and no relay between sites. One site, one stack.
One production site: ours. Running our own eight-camera fleet since July 2026.
No price yet. Licensing terms are being settled; the page will say so until they are.
