envyr is the cloud for the open-source sentry-x3 edge NVR. Detection and scene understanding run on your hardware; only the moments that matter sync to the cloud. Continuous footage never leaves your site.
A tiny edge box records continuously and runs YOLO on its NPU, gated by the cameras' own motion detection. A vision-language model describes what it sees. Only events — thumbnails, clips, descriptions — sync up.
Continuous recording to your own disk. Camera motion wakes the NPU; YOLO classifies; a VLM writes a one-line description of the scene with movement and direction.
Events, thumbnails and short clips travel over the open envyr-sync protocol — mTLS device identity, outbound-only, offline-buffered. The 24/7 footage stays home.
Web dashboard and mobile apps with push that respects you: one alert per visit, not per frame. Tap into sub-2-second live view when you need eyes now.
Every event carries an AI description. So you don't scrub footage — you ask for it.
YOLO on the edge box's NPU — people, vehicles, animals. Tuned for the wildlife big-brand cams throw away.
A vision-language model writes what happened: "a person in a white shirt walking toward the gate." Direction and all.
"Red car last Tuesday" finds it. Descriptions make the whole timeline conversational.
WebRTC straight off the camera substream — warm streams answer in under two seconds, anywhere.
One visit, one alert. Session dedup and per-day budgets — never thirty pings for one possum.
Enroll a site with a claim code. Push camera config remotely. Watch health across every site you run.
Recent footage in full-res; AI-flagged moments kept; the rest tiers down gracefully on your own disk.
The edge and sync protocol are MIT. Point the same box at your own server tomorrow — we have to earn you.
sentry-x3 — recorder, detectors, VLM pipeline, timeline viewer — is MIT-licensed. envyr is the optional hosted backend, speaking the same open protocol anyone can implement.
Early access is open — free during beta, shaped by the people using it. Bring a $50 board and your cameras.
