I released an open dataset of IP\/CCTV camera specifications under CC0 (public domain).<\/p>\n
The problem it solves: camera specs are scattered across vendor PDFs, inconsistent retailer listings, and paywalled databases. There was no single structured open source to query from.<\/p>\n
What’s in it:<\/strong><\/p>\n – 1,000 cameras across 49 brands (Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, Axis, Hanwha, Tapo, Ubiquiti, and more)<\/p>\n – One JSON file per camera under cameras\/<brand>\/<model>.json, aggregated into data\/cameras.json + CSV<\/p>\n – Fields: resolution, sensor, lens, connectivity (PoE\/WiFi\/battery\/4G), night vision type and range, IP rating, ONVIF\/RTSP support, audio, storage, price, market tags<\/p>\n – Schema validated on every PR via GitHub Actions<\/p>\n – CC0 \u2014 no attribution required, do whatever you want with it<\/p>\n Contributing:<\/strong><\/p>\n Non-devs can submit cameras via a GitHub issue form (no cloning needed). Developers can use an interactive CLI wizard (npm run add) that writes the JSON file without needing to know the schema.<\/p>\n Browse it<\/strong>: https:\/\/ch-bas.github.io\/cctv-camera-database\/<\/a><\/p>\n Repo<\/strong>: https:\/\/github.com\/ch-bas\/cctv-camera-database<\/a><\/p>\n Built with Claude Code \u2014 specs sourced from manufacturer datasheets, each entry cites its source URL.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n submitted by \/u\/CantaloupeHeavy996 <\/a>
