Hi Product Hunt! I built cctvQL because I got tired of scrubbing through hours of CCTV footage to find out if something happened. I wanted to just ask "Was there anyone at the gate after 10pm?" and get an answer. cctvQL sits between your cameras (Frigate, Hikvision, Synology, ONVIF, and more) and any LLM, local or cloud. It exposes a simple API so you can query events in plain English from Home Assistant automations, ioBroker scripts, or your own apps. Fully self-hosted and privacy-first. Your footage never leaves your network unless you choose a cloud LLM. Happy to answer any questions!
