What’s new.

What’s new in Unicam, newest first. 36 changes so far.

Early access

  1. New

    Omnicam is now Unicam

    Same app, new name and a new home at unicam.si.

  2. Improved

    Camera sign-in that knows your app

    Add camera now asks which app you set the camera up with, names the password the way that app does (Safety Code, Camera Account, verification code), shows where to find it, and explains exactly why a login failed.

    Which password? →
  3. New

    Smart 24/7 recording

    Record the low-res sub-stream around the clock and full quality around events, for a gap-free timeline at a fraction of the storage.

    Record modes →
  4. New

    Use your camera’s own motion detection

    Unicam can listen to motion events from cameras that detect on-chip over ONVIF, saving hub CPU, and falls back to its own detection automatically.

  5. New

    Telegram alerts

    Connect a Telegram bot to get alerts, optionally with a snapshot. The bot token is stored encrypted on your hub.

    Alerts →
  6. New

    Share a clip from your own cloud

    Create a share link for an event from Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive or S3, expiring where the provider supports it.

  7. New

    Run the hub on your own server

    Cameras that support RTMP push can send video to a hub on your own server, gated by a per-camera stream key.

    Own-server guide →
  8. New

    Storage limit per destination

    Cap how much of your Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive Unicam may use. It removes its own oldest files first, never starred ones, and warns you at 90% of the account’s quota.

    Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive →
  9. Improved

    Browsable folders on consumer drives

    Footage is joined into 10-minute files before uploading to Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive: far fewer files and no rate-limit trouble.

  10. New

    Plans and license keys

    Essential, Plus, Pro and Business plans with camera limits per hub, add-ons, and license keys that the hub verifies itself. Every hub starts with a 3-day free trial of Pro.

    Plans and trial →
  11. New

    Apple Watch and Wear OS apps

    Switch mode from a complication or tile, make cameras private, snooze alerts, check hub status and see recent events with stills. Pairs automatically through your phone.

    Watch apps →
  12. New

    Alert snooze and quick actions

    Snooze alerts for 30 minutes, an hour or until 7:00, and mark alerts seen or starred without opening the app, on your phone or watch.

  13. New

    Package delivered and taken alerts

    Door cameras notice parcels arriving and leaving, detected on your hub. Turn it on per camera, and see delivered and taken chips on events.

  14. New

    Signed evidence export packs

    Select clips and export a signed, hash-chained ZIP with snapshots for police or insurers, with an offline verifier anyone can use to check it hasn’t been altered.

  15. New

    Overnight H.265 compression

    Older H.264 footage is recompressed on the hub’s hardware encoder overnight, about 40% smaller, and the cloud copies are replaced. The app shows how much it saved.

  16. Improved

    Android connects to home and Tailscale hubs

    The Android app now reaches hubs on your local network and over Tailscale reliably.

  17. New

    QR and link pairing

    Pair a new device by scanning a QR code or opening a link from a paired one.

    Pair a device →
  18. New

    Savings calculator

    Onboarding adds up your real vendor plans and SD cards so you can see what switching saves, and the sidebar shows your yearly savings.

  19. Improved

    Much faster everywhere

    The camera grid paints almost instantly from cached snapshots, live view starts 2.4× sooner, the app downloads about 80% smaller, and Live keeps one stream when you switch layouts.

  20. Improved

    A new design

    Home, Live, Timeline, Alerts, Storage, Add camera, onboarding and settings redesigned, with a desktop camera wall and clear empty, loading and offline states.

  21. New

    Disk guard

    When the hub’s disk runs low, the oldest already-uploaded footage goes first. Nearly full, recording pauses and you get an alert instead of a silent failure.

    Retention and disk space →
  22. Fixed

    A sturdier hub

    The hub keeps running when its disk is full, and always shuts down promptly, even with live views open.

  23. Security

    Internal security audit: 14 findings fixed

    Every issue from an internal audit is fixed and covered by regression tests. Recovery keys now use an unambiguous grouped format, links never carry your device token, and cameras can only be added with safe stream addresses.

  24. New

    Watch from anywhere with Tailscale

    The hub detects Tailscale and the app switches between your home network and your tailnet automatically. No port-forwarding.

    Remote access →
  25. New

    The Mac app is the hub

    The desktop app runs its own hub in the background and records from the menu bar, so there’s nothing else to install.

  26. New

    Apps for iPhone, iPad, Android and the web

    One app on every screen, with Home/Away/Night modes, privacy tiles, a daily recap, AI search, detection boxes, timeline thumbnails and SD-card import.

  27. New

    AI search

    Describe what you’re looking for in plain English and Unicam ranks events across every camera, privately on your hub.

  28. New

    Home, Away and Night modes

    Indoor cameras can pause completely in Home mode, and each mode has its own alert types.

  29. New

    Daily recap

    A 30-second highlight reel of each day across every camera, people first.

  30. New

    Person, vehicle and animal detection

    Every event is classified on your hub in about 70 ms, with an Apache-licensed model.

  31. New

    Timeline thumbnails

    Scrub the timeline with thumbnails, tidied away automatically with your retention settings.

  32. Improved

    H.265 cameras play everywhere

    H.265 cameras get an automatic H.264 live stream for browsers and devices that can’t play H.265.

  33. New

    Camera health

    See each camera’s status, codec and bitrate live.

  34. Improved

    Better camera discovery

    The network scan recognises Imou and Lechange cameras and reports the hardware model.

  35. New

    Raspberry Pi, Docker and Home Assistant

    Install the hub on a Pi with one command, run it with Docker on a NAS, or add it to Home Assistant. Plus an offline decrypt tool for your footage.

    Download →
  36. New

    The Unicam hub

    Records every camera without re-encoding, detects motion, encrypts every clip end to end and uploads to the storage you choose, with alerts to your devices.
