Local folder / NAS · BetaTurn existing NAS or folder recordings into smart detections
If your cameras already save clips to a folder on your PC or a NAS share, Cam-Wise can watch that location, analyse the videos locally on Windows and surface the moments that actually matter. No new hardware, no cloud upload of your footage.
Works with your existing recordings · Footage stays local by default
Hours of footage, only minutes that matter
Camera systems that write to a NAS or a local folder pile up huge amounts of video. Scrubbing through it by hand is slow. Cam-Wise adds local AI that reviews those existing files for you and learns what is relevant to your situation.
How the folder / NAS route works
- Your cameras save video as usualClips land in a local folder on your PC or on a NAS share, the way your setup already writes them.
- You point Cam-Wise at that locationChoose the folder or mounted NAS path you want Cam-Wise to watch.
- Cam-Wise picks up the existing filesNew videos in that location are imported for analysis. Cam-Wise reads your files; it does not stream your cameras.
- Analysis runs locally on WindowsEach video is analysed on your own PC with a local AI model. Raw footage does not have to leave your device.
- Relevant results go to reviewMatches are surfaced for review, and you improve detection by confirming examples over time.
Point Cam-Wise at a local folder or a NAS share that is mounted on your Windows PC.
