OpenPetCam
OpenPetCam is an open-source, self-hosted pet camera that provides live video, automatic pet tracking, and alerts.
OpenPetCam is an open-source, self-hosted pet camera designed for pet owners who want complete privacy. It provides live video with sound, tracks your pet when they wander off, and records their daily activity including naps and barks. The software runs on an Ubuntu 24.04 server and connects to a Thingino-flashed pan and tilt camera. It features a custom model trained on your camera's pictures to recognize your pet and distinguish them from their toys. All video stays on your server, and family members can join via an invite link. The system also includes an optional AI agent that diagnoses reported issues and deploys fixes automatically.
