Watchtower — Secure Smart Home Console

Watchtower Secure: Smart Home Intelligence Overview

Anchored in the header, this overview mirrors the Watchtower Secure console with multi-camera overlays, visitor recognition queues, object memory, and automation-ready logs. It runs locally via getUserMedia() and keeps data in localStorage for fast, on-device response cycles that align with smart home automations.

Usage notes

Watchtower Secure is designed for on-device workflows. Run on https (or localhost) for Live CV, and expect a short warm-up on first model load for smart home monitoring.
