Good to know
Your Mac must stay open and awake; plugged in helps but doesn’t guarantee protection. Alerts depend on the internet and Telegram. NosyPup is not a certified alarm. Only use it where recording is allowed.
Questions, sniffed out.
Do I need Telegram?+
Yes. Alerts are sent through Telegram, using a private bot you create in a couple of minutes. The app walks you through it, including the BotFather part.
Does it work with the lid closed?+
No. The camera needs to see, so your Mac must stay open and awake. Keep it plugged in for longer sessions.
Do my photos and videos go through your servers?+
No. Person detection happens on your Mac, and alerts go from your Mac to your own Telegram bot. Your photos and videos never pass through NosyPup servers.
Will a passing shadow set it off?+
NosyPup looks for people, which is designed to reduce false alerts from changing light and shadows. No detector is perfect, so you can also limit it to the area you care about.
How much will it cost?+
We’re still finalizing pricing. Every feature will be free to try for 14 days. Join the waitlist and you’ll hear first.
