Look close to home.
Detection runs on the device. Most quiet time never becomes an upload.
Working prototype · not for sale
Welcome to the cozy panopticon.
A small camera that keeps an eye on things without sending every uneventful second of your life into the cloud.
Local detection first. Selected event media second.

03 Uploads selectively
A camera with manners
All-seeing-ish,
by design.
PanOptiCozy is shaped around a simple idea: the camera should decide locally when something might matter, then preserve and send the useful event—not run a continuous feed of ordinary life to the cloud.
Follow the complete event path02 / Keep
Save the moment.
When an event is selected, encoded video keeps useful context around it.
03 / Send
Share what matters.
Selected event media can be uploaded for household review and stronger cloud analysis.
The house rules
Small promises.
Measured carefully.
Local first
On-device detection gates the normal media path. Continuous upload is not the default.
How the paths stay separateSelective by design
Event clips are the product-shaped path; cloud systems may refine them later.
What the prototype sendsHonest about the edges
Latency, resource use, battery behavior, and prototype limitations stay visible.
Read the known limitationsThe honest bit
This is a working prototype, not a finished security product.
Real cameras already detect, capture selected events, upload media, receive commands, and expose their behavior for measurement. The current work is proving how those pieces feel as one small, fieldable product.
Production availability, certifications, battery life, retention guarantees, continuous upload, and live viewing are not launch claims.
