Core ideas

- No vendor lock-in: designed to work with SIP intercoms and CCTV that expose an open API.

- Modular setup: you can start small (a private house) and scale up to apartment buildings / residential complexes / districts / even a city.

What you can build

- IP/SIP intercom for entrances, gates, barriers

- Video surveillance (live + archive) with modern server-side + admin panel (we also maintain a built-in free media server (based on ffmpeg) for mobile live + archive access: Simple-DVR)

- Mobile apps for residents (iOS/Android)

- Desktop web client for security/concierge teams

- Ticketing & field service workflows (task tracking + planning + PWA for technicians)

- Optional face recognition + license plate recognition (FALPRS)

- Integrations with billing/CRM/payments and external systems

Localization

The project is currently localized for English, Russian, Kazakh, Uzbek, Bulgarian, Arabic, Armenian. If you’d like to help, we’d love contributions for new languages (translations, terminology review, UI copy improvements, etc.).

Invitation

You’re welcome to use this project for free to build your own ideas/products/solutions — and if you like it, I’d love to invite you to contribute (issues, PRs, docs, localization, testing with new SIP intercoms/cameras, integrations, packaging/deployment improvements, etc.).

If you’re interested, I’d really appreciate:

- feedback on the architecture and docs

- suggestions on what hardware models we should prioritize next

- contributors/users who want to try it in their environment

Thanks!
