Independent software studio

Focused, private software for your home.

Tarazel builds fast, native apps that are private by design — where your data stays yours, not a subscription's. Our first is Beacon, a companion app for self-hosted security cameras, with more to come.

Our apps

Every Tarazel app follows one principle: your data stays yours. Beacon is the first — with more focused, private apps for the home on the way.

More on the way

Beacon is the first of several apps we're building. New focused, privacy-respecting tools for the home are in development.

Meet Beacon

Beacon connects to the camera system you already run at home and turns it into a polished, modern app for you and your family — live view, event history, and push notifications that arrive the moment something happens, even when the app is closed.

Live view & event history

Check in on your cameras in real time, and scroll back through everything they detected.

Instant notifications

The person or package at your door reaches your phone in seconds — no polling, no missed alerts.

Family access

Invite family members with their own sign-in, and choose which cameras each person can see.

Built differently

Beacon is designed for people who want to own their home security — not rent it from a subscription that owns their video.

Privacy by design

Your video never lives on our servers. Our notification service is built to carry a wake-up, not your images or camera names.

Works with your setup

Beacon runs on top of your existing self-hosted camera system — no proprietary hardware to buy.

Native apps

A fast, native iOS app today, with Mac and Android on the way — not a wrapped web page.

Open at the core

Beacon's gateway is open source. Run it yourself for free, or let us handle the notification relay for you.

Beacon pricing

Start free. Upgrade when you want managed notifications and family multi-user without running any extra infrastructure.
