/ The problem

Every smart-home brand wants a separate app and a separate monthly fee. The cameras don't talk to the lights. The lights don't know if anyone's home. Notifications either spam you or miss the real thing.

/ The outcome

A single platform I own that watches the cameras, runs detections locally with YOLO, only fires alerts when something actually matters, and gives my family a clean dashboard. No vendor lock-in. No monthly fee.

What it does

Streams cameras into a unified web dashboard. Runs local computer vision to know the difference between "a leaf moved" and "someone is at the gate." Triggers automations (lights, blinds, switches). Sends Telegram alerts only for real events.

Under the hood

A small Node service on the server, a Raspberry Pi at the house bridging the cameras, YOLO running detection, Sonoff switches for control, and a custom dashboard for the family. Everything talks to Lev when something out of pattern happens.

Who it's for

Homeowners and small shops who already own the hardware and are tired of subscription fatigue. The same shape works for a warehouse, a clinic, or a showroom.
