Technical Specifications Apple Silicon / Local LAN / Web Dashboard / API Access

Technical specs for reliable local deployment.

Private Vision is designed for on-site performance, clean camera interoperability, and a deployment model that works for residential and light commercial environments.

Deployment Summary

Two hardware paths.

Dealers can provision a dedicated Mac for the system or use an existing compatible Apple Silicon Mac when that provides more flexibility for the site.

Hardware

Apple Silicon required.

Recommended platform: Mac mini (M3 or newer).

Higher-performance option: Mac Studio.

Minimum memory: 32GB RAM.

Recommended for multi-camera deployments: 96GB RAM.

SSD storage required.

Uses GPU and Neural Engine acceleration where available.

Camera Support

Designed to work with existing systems.

RTSP stream support required.

ONVIF compatibility recommended.

Works with most modern IP cameras and many NVR-based systems.

Private Vision enhances existing infrastructure rather than replacing it.

Network

Local network deployment.

Deploy on the LAN alongside the camera environment.

No mandatory cloud requirement for core analysis and review.

Best performance when cameras and processing hardware share the local network.

Remote access can be configured separately according to client needs.

Software

Local engine, browser-based access.

Local inference engine.

Web-based dashboard for search, timeline, and clip review.

API access for third-party integrations and automation workflows.

Suitable for Control4-style and adjacent integration environments.

Sizing Guidance

What affects system sizing.

  • Camera count and simultaneous streams
  • Resolution and frame rate
  • Retention window and storage policy
  • Event density and review workload

Higher stream counts and longer retention windows benefit from more memory and the higher-performance Apple Silicon options.

Deployment Model

Dedicated Mac or existing compatible Mac.

  • Dedicated Mac provides the cleanest appliance-style deployment
  • Existing compatible Mac can be preferred where flexibility matters
  • Either path preserves the local, on-site architecture

The right choice depends on site scale, service model, and how the dealer prefers to package the project.
