Hey everyone,
Every time I needed to expand my Home Assistant setup or configure an NVR like Frigate, I hit the same wall. Checking for true ONVIF support, sub-stream resolutions, PoE vs. WiFi, or physical IP ratings meant opening 15 different tabs of scattered retailer specs and vendor PDFs.
To fix this, I compiled a fully queryable database (JSON + CSV) covering 50+ major brands (Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, Axis, Amcrest, Tapo, UniFi, Ubiquiti, etc.).
What's inside for smart home builders:
- Local Control Check: True ONVIF / RTSP protocol support flag.
- Power & Connection: PoE / WiFi / Battery / 4G filters.
- Hardware Specs: Resolution, sensor size, lens, night vision range.
- Enclosure: IP (weather) and IK (vandal) ratings.
- Audio: Two-way audio support.
- Availability: Regional market tags (handy for filtering what you can actually buy in the US vs. EU/UK).
It's 100% Free, CC0 (Public Domain), no accounts, and no subscriptions. Just clean data to help you pick the right local hardware.
If you notice a camera model missing from your own setup, there's a simple GitHub issue form to submit it—no git cloning or coding required. Hopefully, this saves you some tab-clutter on your next hardware upgrade!
