Camera → Identity → Automation

Your cameras. Identity for your automation.

FaceStream identifies known people in existing RTSP camera streams on your own hardware and sends identity events to Loxone, Home Assistant and other systems.

Start with Free. Test Pro or Business integrations with a time-limited licence on request.

  • Recognition stays on site
  • Existing RTSP and MJPEG cameras
  • Identity events for your automation

Where should recognition make a difference?

Choose your system. See the use case, the requirements and the path to your first automation.

For Loxone

Add person recognition to customer installations and offer configuration and integration as a service.

For Home Assistant

Use your cameras as local identity sensors and build automations around the people you know.

See FaceStream work

One camera frame. Two people. Two independent events.

Amelia arrives with a friend. FaceStream identifies Amelia and records the second face as unknown, both at the same second.

The camera sees both people

The front-door stream remains the source. FaceStream adds an identity layer without replacing the cameras already in place.

Known: Amelia Hart Unknown visitor

Know who was there, and when

Each face becomes its own visit, with the still image, duration, number of sightings and liveness result available for review.

Same camera · same second

Real camera imagery. Real FaceStream interface. No concept UI.

From camera to action

Recognition becomes a useful signal.

FaceStream understands the camera image, evaluates your rule and communicates the event. A connected system then decides what to do.

  1. 01

    Camera

    Existing RTSP or MJPEG stream

  2. 02

    Recognition

    Known or unknown, processed locally

  3. 03

    Rule

    Person, camera and time window

  4. 04

    Connected system

    Receives the event and may respond

Different faces can follow different paths

In this Home scenario, Amelia’s event can be sent to Loxone while the unknown-person event produces a separate Telegram message.

FaceStream identifies and communicates. If a door, light or other device changes state, that decision belongs to the configured external automation.

One product, different environments

Your cameras. One intelligent layer.

The same local platform can sit behind a four-camera home or a larger professionally operated site.

FaceStream.AI × Home Assistant

Your smart home detects motion. Give it identity.

FaceStream.AI recognises people in your camera images and sends recognition events to Home Assistant. Your automations determine what happens next.

Connect MQTT. Enable Discovery.

FaceStream.AI supports Home Assistant Discovery directly in the MQTT connection. Configure it in the FaceStream interface.

Recognition on your hardware

Camera images are processed locally. Face recognition runs on the CPU, without an additional GPU.

A familiar face arrives home

FaceStream reports the recognised person. A Home Assistant automation you configure can then start a matching lighting scene, for example.

  2. MQTT delivers the event
  3. Home Assistant runs your automation

Fits your existing stack

Keep the cameras. Connect the systems.

FaceStream.AI is not a camera and not a recorder. It adds identity between the streams you already run and the systems you already use.

Local processing & data flows

Know where recognition happens. And where data goes.

FaceStream processes camera images on your own hardware. Photos, face data and visits are stored there. Connections you configure can send information to other systems.

Recognition and storage are local

Images are analysed on the FaceStream host. Enrolled people, event images and settings live in its data folder. Configure retention and protect that host and its backups.

You choose event recipients

Local MQTT or Loxone can keep the event path inside your network. External push or email services receive the information and images you choose to send. Home Assistant discovery sends camera events to the configured MQTT broker.

Updates and activation are separate

FaceStream checks for software updates. Licences that require online activation contact the licence server with licence ID, device ID, version and edition, not camera images or face data.

Local processing & data flows →

Your camera already has AI?

That may be all you need. FaceStream adds value when you want identity events from suitable camera streams to work across systems, independently of a single camera ecosystem.

See where FaceStream fits

Check cameras, hardware and edition

Use an accessible RTSP or MJPEG stream and suitable local processing hardware. Home Assistant via MQTT and the dedicated Loxone connection require Pro or higher.

Check compatibility

Partners

Make identity part of your next project.

Offer camera setup, recognition configuration and integration with the customer’s automation. Demo licences and integration support are available; partner terms are agreed individually.

Become an integration partner

See it on your own cameras

From your camera to your first identity event.

Follow the installation guide, connect a camera and enrol a person. Then connect the system that should react.
