Show HN: AI Baby Monitor – local Video-LLM that beeps when safety rules break

a year ago

AI Baby Monitor watches a video stream and checks against safety rules, issuing a beep if a rule is broken.
Runs locally with privacy-first approach; nothing leaves your network.
Uses Qwen2.5 VL model by default, served through vLLM.
Works in real-time on consumer GPUs at ~1 request per second.
Features a live dashboard showing the stream and LLM reasoning logs.
Supports multiple rooms with easy YAML configuration for rules.
Requires Docker, a GPU, and Python 3.12 with uv for setup.
First run involves downloading a ~6 GB model and may take time.
Not a replacement for adult supervision; use responsibly.
