Clearcam turns old security cameras into local AI smartcams using Qwen3 VL for free
alvelda · x · 2026-08-30
A free tool called Clearcam upgrades any standard security camera with AI capabilities, running entirely locally without cloud dependencies or new hardware. It uses Qwen3 VL to spot and track people, cars, and objects, saving only relevant event clips instead of 24/7 footage. It generates plain English summaries of events and makes them searchable via text. The author contrasts this with Ring, Nest, and Arlo, which charge monthly subscriptions for similar person detection and history features on hardware users already own.
