Faceter is smart cloud video surveillance (VSaaS) with its own line of security cameras. Connect third-party IP cameras or use a smartphone as a camera without buying equipment. Monitor offices, warehouses, stores, and your home from a single system. Get notifications in Telegram and Max, and use an AI Agent for quick archive search instead of long video playback. Why You Need Faceter Faceter combines any cameras into a single smart video surveillance system. Connect devices via ONVIF or RTSP with a public IP address. You can: • Watch live video from any camera online through the cloud • Use a smartphone as a surveillance camera (turn an old phone into an IP camera) without buying equipment • Find any moment in the archive in seconds with smart event marking and timeline search instead of hours of viewing • Keep video surveillance 24/7 • Get a free daily timelapse in messengers: review your whole day in 1 minute • Receive event descriptions from the AI Agent • Get event alerts via push notifications and messengers (Telegram, Max, etc.) • Use the app on phone, tablet, computer, Mac, Windows, and TV Any Cameras, One System Maximum stability is ensured with Faceter's cameras: full compatibility and all analytics out of the box. Already have third-party cameras? Connect them via ONVIF and RTSP protocols. Faceter records video locally to an SD card without internet or cloud fees. In development: our line of network video recorders (NVR) for hybrid systems. Review a full day's archive in 5 minutes and download any clip instantly. We built a practical app design, fast servers, and a special cloud storage format. Connecting a camera takes a couple of minutes. An old smartphone connects just as easily: convert a phone into a security camera without buying extra hardware. Smart Detections Built-in detections recognize human silhouettes, vehicles, pets, and movement, capturing line crossings and intrusions. The system cuts false alarms like rain, snow, waving branches, and shadows. You only get push alerts during real events. Faceter AI Agent The AI Agent works in Telegram, Max, or in the app. Chat with it in plain text instead of watching video. Ask a question and get a precise summary from the archive: "What time did the delivery car arrive?", "What happened on site from 12:00 to 13:00?", or "Did anyone enter the warehouse after closing?". The agent also sends concise text descriptions of current events: "Person passed by", "Truck entered", "Dog near the door". Why Choose Faceter Faceter is an analytics tool with a transparent pricing model. • AI Agent without overpaying: text reports are included in cloud subscriptions. No extra payment for AI features. • Free basic features: live streaming and smart detections work free without a cloud plan. Cameras can record to an SD card without internet. • No complex servers: launch without expensive servers or engineer visits. Human detection works without biometrics or facial recognition. Only Useful Features • Online live camera streaming • Timelapse: full day in a minute • Event alerts via push, Telegram, and Max • Intelligent archive search • Saving required video clips • Access rights management • Russian language interface • Faceter compatibility with Windows, Mac, and TV Faceter is also great for home: baby monitor, elderly care, or pet watching (with pet detection). Set up video surveillance in 5 minutes. Get alerts in Telegram or Max when events happen. Download Faceter and monitor your home, office, or business from anywhere!
