Your Home Sentinel

Turn your Apple TV into a dedicated home security hub. Live streams, motion alerts, PTZ control, and patrol mode — all on the big screen.

Your Home Sentinel transforms your Apple TV into a dedicated home security dashboard, putting every camera on the big screen exactly where it belongs.

Connect any RTSP-compatible IP camera — including Tapo, Reolink, and similar brands — through a free, open-source media server running on your Mac. Then sit back and watch, or dive into full control.

A NOTE ON REQUIREMENTS Your Home Sentinel streams camera video through mediamtx, a free, open-source media server (github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx) that runs on a Mac on your home network. Your cameras must support RTSP streaming. Setup takes about ten minutes and full instructions are built into the app.
