OpticWatch: incident records for IP cameras

opticwatch.dev Visit website

Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Self-hosted software checks whether IP cameras are delivering usable RTSP video, then records incidents and sends email or webhook alerts when they fail.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-06 issue.

For: IP camera and surveillance system operators
Worth noticing: Failure records distinguish causes such as rejected credentials, no usable video, connection timeout, and RTSP errors.

Field notes

The page distinguishes basic reachability checks from opening an RTSP stream and reading its codec, resolution, and frame rate. It describes incident history, recovery duration, and alert-delivery visibility, while noting that a manual “Check now” does not change incident state. Thresholds and history retention are adjustable in the application without a config-file edit or restart.
