Live view

Check in without breaking the moment

Open Oriel for a quick look at the living room, nursery, pet corner, or front door. Live view is designed around direct peer-to-peer connection when possible, so checking home feels immediate and personal.

  • P2P live streaming
  • Uninterrupted viewing
  • Multi-camera glance

Smarter alerts

Know when something matters

Oriel can notify you when motion appears and help identify person events on the camera device. The goal is calmer awareness: enough context to decide whether you need to look now.

  • Motion alerts
  • Person detection
  • On-device AI

Playback

Catch up on what you missed

Missed an alert? Review the moment later through event playback, then use continuous recording for deeper context when your setup supports it. Oriel keeps the experience focused on understanding what happened.

  • Event playback
  • Recording timeline
  • Continuous context

Coverage

See more of the room

Place a spare iPhone in a corner to cover more of a room, then add other devices for the areas that matter: doorway, pet space, nursery, or porch. Oriel is built for ordinary homes, not control rooms.

  • Ultra-wide camera support
  • Multi-camera support
  • Room-by-room monitoring

Privacy foundation

Designed around a private home

Oriel keeps privacy claims precise: live viewing is designed for peer-to-peer streaming, detection happens on the camera device, and website analytics stay minimal. The parts of the system that use cloud infrastructure are treated separately from live view.
