AanganHome cameras now, smart home nextLaunching this month

All your home's cameras in one app, with recordings kept at home.

Aangan (آنگن, the courtyard a Pakistani house is built around) puts a home's cameras in one place. Watch live, keep recordings on a hub inside the house, review what happened, and send alerts to the family members who should see them. It is built for conditions here: patchy internet, power cuts, and a household where not everyone should see every camera.

  • Live view and recording from several cameras at once
  • Recordings kept on a hub inside your home
  • Event review with clips you can play back and download
  • Urdu and English, with camera access set per person

01 — Problems it solves

Every camera brand has its own app

Families end up with one app per camera, each with its own login and cloud. Aangan brings supported cameras into one wall, one timeline and one set of alerts.

A live picture doesn't mean it's recording

Many apps keep showing a picture after recording has quietly stopped. Aangan checks saved footage separately and tells you when a camera stops recording or storage runs low.

Footage leaves the house

Recording and detection run on a hub inside your home, so your footage is stored there rather than on a camera vendor's cloud.

Not everyone should see everything

Owners, family members and domestic staff get different access. Staff can be limited to the rooms they work in and kept off the camera screens entirely.

02 — What it does

A wall of live cameras

See every camera at once or open one full screen. On supported cameras, pan, tilt and light controls sit on the same screen.

Recording you can check

Recording runs on the home hub, with a visible recording indicator, free-space warnings and a clear alert when a camera stops saving footage.

Review what happened

Detected people, vehicles and animals appear on a timeline, grouped into activity you can scan. Open a clip, play it back with sound, and download it.

Alerts for the right people

A notification inbox in the app, and push notifications on phones where you've turned them on. Each person is alerted only about cameras they're allowed to see.

Add a camera, or an old phone

Add a standard network camera by its stream address, or turn a spare phone or laptop into a camera from its browser, as long as it stays open and charging.

A household, not one login

Invite family with a link that expires, give domestic staff room-limited access, and see who changed what and when.

03 — How it works
  1. 1We check your camerasTell us what cameras you have. We confirm which are supported before anything is installed.
  2. 2A hub goes in at homeA small computer on your home network records your cameras and runs detection, so footage stays in the house.
  3. 3Set up the householdAdd family and staff, choose who sees which cameras, and decide which alerts each person gets.
  4. 4Watch, review, get alertedUse the app on your phone or computer to watch live, check recording health and review events.

Get in touch about Aangan

Roadmap. Not yet available.
  • Control of lights, fans and sockets, once our retrofit hardware is ready
  • Water-tank levels and automatic pump control
  • Automations around load shedding, prayer times and sunset
  • Voltage protection and outage-aware switching for appliances
  • Pairing a spare phone as a camera by scanning a code

04 — Work ahead

01Detection that holds up at nightOur own audits found people passing at night who weren't detected, and animals given the wrong label. We're measuring day and night accuracy on real footage and will publish the conditions we've tested, not a promise of perfect detection.
02More cameras, verified one by oneToday's installation supports specific camera models and standard network streams. Other brands, recorders and automatic discovery need field testing first, and we'll list exactly what is supported.
03Clearer sound, and talking backBackground noise in recordings is lower than it was, but speech clarity still varies by camera. Two-way talk will only be offered on cameras where we've verified it works.
04The smart-home hardwareLights, fans, the water pump and power protection run today only against our simulator. We won't sell or install electrical hardware until it is built, tested and safe.

Questions

Is the smart-home part available?

Not yet. The app's controls for lights, fans, the water pump and power are built and tested against simulated devices, but the hardware doesn't exist yet. The November launch is camera monitoring only.

Which cameras work with Aangan?

Specific supported models, and standard network cameras that provide a video stream (RTSP or HTTP). Tell us what you have and we'll check before anything is installed.

Where are recordings kept?

On the hub inside your home, not on a vendor's cloud. How much footage is kept depends on the hub's storage; the app shows free space and warns before it runs low.

Will it catch everything?

No camera system can honestly promise that. Aangan shows what it detected, lets you review the recording around it, and tells you when a camera or recording has a problem.

Be first to know when Aangan launches.

Tell us your city and the cameras you have now. We'll say whether they're supported and get in touch as camera installations open.
