fftrix 1.2.1

A tool for processing video files using opencv numpy matplotlib vidgear pyffmpeg moviepy and vidgear.

FFTrix Enterprise Security & Streaming Server

FFTrix is a professional-grade, multi-threaded NVR (Network Video Recorder), AI Surveillance, and Streaming Production server built entirely in Python. It combines high-performance video handling with real-time AI analytics, auto-discovery, PTZ control, and a modern, secure web-based Command Center.

🚀 Key Features

• Multi-Threaded Node Architecture: Every camera stream runs in its own isolated background thread for maximum stability and low latency.
• AI Analytics Suite: Real-time Motion Intrusion, Facial Detection, Human Personnel tracking, and License Plate Recognition (LPR).
• Auto-Discovery & PTZ: WS-Discovery for automatic ONVIF camera configuration and zero-friction Pan/Tilt/Zoom continuous control.
• Smart Zoning & Alerts: Draw custom security boundaries directly on the video feed to trigger Email and Webhook notifications on high-value intrusions.
• Enterprise DVR: Automated 24/7 continuous recording with intelligent event flagging, time-ranged Clip Exports, and Auto-Retention cleanup policies.
• Professional Watermarking: Customizable static or dynamic (floating) alpha-blended text and image overlays for branding and anti-theft.
• Secure Remote Access: Built-in Zero-Trust tunneling (via pyngrok) and session-based authentication for worldwide secure monitoring.
• Dynamic Surveillance Matrix: Scalable 1x1 to 4x4 hardware-accelerated monitoring grid.

🛠 Tech Stack

• UI Framework: NiceGUI (Pure Python Web UI)
• Streaming Engine: VidGear (High-performance FFmpeg wrapper)
• Computer Vision: OpenCV and Tesseract OCR (for LPR)
• Device Management: ONVIF protocol over SOAP
• Database: SQLite3
• Automation: uv (Package & Environment Management)
