This is an open ONVIF and RTSP camera platform with local archive storage — no mandatory cloud dependency. In an era where most consumer IP cameras funnel your video feeds through vendor clouds (with subscription fees, privacy concerns, and the ever-present risk of the vendor going out of business and bricking your hardware), a project like this is genuinely refreshing.

The scope is ambitious: it targets the two dominant protocols in the surveillance camera world:

• ONVIF — the industry standard for device discovery, PTZ control, and metadata exchange across camera brands
• RTSP — the workhorse streaming protocol used by virtually every IP camera on the market

By handling both, the platform can theoretically discover, configure, and record from a huge range of off-the-shelf hardware without vendor lock-in. The description (originally in Russian) emphasizes local archive without mandatory cloud, which puts it in the same self-hosted spirit as Frigate, Shinobi, or ZoneMinder — but written in JavaScript, which lowers the barrier for web developers who want to extend or customize it.

Who would benefit:

• Homelab enthusiasts tired of Reolink/Hikvision cloud accounts and app lock-in
• Small businesses that need surveillance without recurring SaaS fees
• Privacy-conscious users who want footage to stay on-premises
• Developers interested in ONVIF/RTSP internals — the JS codebase should be more approachable than the C++-heavy alternatives

Zero stars at the moment, but this is exactly the kind of infrastructure project that tends to pick up traction once someone in the self-hosted community discovers it. Worth watching to see if it can carve out a niche against the more established players.
