CCTV Camera Database - Open specs for 3,400+ IP cameras
Show HN: A data viewer for choosing Frigate-compatible IP cameras
An open, structured database of 3,430 CCTV/IP camera models across 77 brands, from budget WiFi cams to enterprise PTZ and thermal systems. Each camera is a validated JSON file aggregated into a queryable dataset (JSON + CSV). The companion web app at cctv-database.com lets you search, filter, sort, and copy ready-to-use Frigate configs. The dataset is CC0 and includes RTSP patterns, schema validation, and a QA tool. Ideal for choosing Frigate-compatible cameras or integrating camera specs into your own projects.
Camera spec sheets are scattered across vendor PDFs, retailer pages, and paywalled databases in inconsistent formats. This repo normalises them into one machine-readable structure so they can be compared, filtered, and reused.
