You've got the skills and the hardware. The problem is everything talking to everything else — or rather, not talking.
Banalytics publishes camera events, motion detections, and system health to MQTT topics you define. Home Assistant picks them up and treats them like any other sensor. No custom component, no fragile webhook — just clean MQTT messages that fit your existing automation logic.
Recordings are written directly to the path you configure — local disk, NAS share, or external drive. Retention rules, directory structure, and naming are under your control. Banalytics never requires uploading footage to a cloud service just to view it remotely.
Banalytics provides browser-based access to live feeds, event history, and system status. Remote access can be configured through your existing network setup — reverse proxy, Tailscale, Cloudflare Tunnel, or whatever approach you already use. No mandatory vendor cloud in the middle.
Motion alerts with clip on your phone. See who arrived before you open the door.
Live view of your pets at home. Motion zones per room. Clips when something happens.
Camera-based presence feeding into Home Assistant automations for lighting and heating.
Remote visibility on a holiday home or rental property. Alerts for unexpected motion.
Monitor your workshop, check on prints and projects, or keep tabs on the garage door.
Camera integration for drones, RC builds, or Halloween props with automated triggers.
IP cameras, ONVIF, RTSP, and USB in one place. Mixed brands and mixed resolutions — all fine.
Events, health states, and triggers publish to your MQTT broker. Home Assistant reads them natively.
Recordings go to the path you choose. NAS, external drive, or local disk. No cloud required.
Live feeds, event review, and system health — accessible from any device on your network or remotely.
Motion notifications with clip context sent to Telegram. Reply-based actions optional.
Define rules: motion detected → MQTT → Home Assistant → lights on. Flexible, no-code rule builder.
Camera uptime, storage levels, and system status visible at a glance. Know when something goes wrong.
No vendor cloud in the data path. Data stays inside your network unless you explicitly configure otherwise.
Raspberry Pi 4/5, Intel NUC, mini PC, or home server. Lightweight enough for always-on operation.
We'd rather help you find the right tool than oversell what Banalytics is.
Banalytics is for users willing to configure a flexible local-first setup. If you want a consumer smart home camera with zero configuration, this isn't the right tool.
Managing staff, branches, and incident response across business locations is the domain of the SMB solution — not this one.
Deep prebuilt integrations for every consumer smart home platform are on the roadmap but not all available today. MQTT covers most use cases.
