Two meters, nothing else

Every plan meters two things: notifications sent and camera storage. Detection, triggers, every integration and the full API are included everywhere, including free.

The meters

What the two meters count

Notifications

One unit per message that leaves us: a Slack post, an email, an MQTT publish, a webhook request. A trigger with three destinations counts three. Tests and retries are free.

Camera storage

Snapshots and GIFs on the timeline, in stored gigabytes. Your allowance decides how far back history goes — there's no fixed retention window.

Not metered

Triggers, detection runs, API calls, seats, and events that arrive but never match a trigger.

Overage

Going over, on a paid plan

Alerts don't stop when an allowance runs out — that's the one moment you'd least want them to.

Notifications, per 1,000 extra$2.00$1.00
Storage, per GB / month$0.50$0.30

Extra usage is billed at the end of the month at these rates, and you can set a hard cap if you'd rather it paused instead. On the free plan there's no overage charge — notifications pause until the allowance resets, and the oldest snapshots are trimmed to stay under 0.5 GB. Events keep arriving the whole time.

Included

In every plan, free included

  • Object detection — person, vehicle, animal, number plate
  • Every integration: Slack, email, MQTT, Home Assistant, webhooks
  • Unlimited triggers, and fan-out to several destinations at once
  • The full API, and webhooks out to your own code
  • Delivery log with the result of every send
  • SSH tunnels for brokers that never leave the LAN
  • Test sends with sample detections, before a real event arrives
  • Any camera brand that can email or upload by FTP

Billing

Questions about billing

What exactly counts as one notification?

One message successfully sent to one destination. A trigger that posts to Slack, publishes to MQTT and calls your webhook counts three. Retries of a failed send don't count again, and test sends are free.

Do events I never get alerted about still cost me?

Only as storage. Events that arrive and don't match a trigger sit on the timeline and count towards your gigabytes, not your notifications — so a filtered trigger is the cheapest way to run a busy camera.

How long is history kept?

As long as your storage allowance holds it — there's no fixed retention window. Busy cameras fill it faster, so you can cap a camera's own history or turn GIFs off where a still is enough.

Can I cap what I spend?

Yes. Set a monthly overage cap and we'll email you at 80% of it. Reach the cap and sending pauses rather than billing further — events still land on the timeline.

What happens if I downgrade?

The new allowances apply from the next billing date. If you're over the smaller plan's storage, the oldest snapshots are trimmed first — export what you need before the switch.

Start on the free plan

Add a camera, point its email at the address we give you, and watch the first event land. Move up only when the meters say so.
