What’s changed
Anyone can ship software now. The physical world is still locked.
180M+developers on GitHub
60M+products built on Lovable, mostly by people who don’t code
“Wouldn’t it be cool if I could…”
- …know if Mum falls and can’t reach her phone
- …log every bird that visits my garden
- …get a call when a ewe starts lambing at 3am
- …hear about it the moment a 3D print goes wrong
But to build any of them, you need
- Circuit boards
- Firmware
- Wiring
- Servers
- An enclosure
- Certification
So the ideas stay ideas. Until now.
GitHub Octoverse; Lovable. As at August 2026.
Meet Eye of the Tiger
We took the hardware wall away.
Plug it in and it’s ready to build on. No boards, no firmware, no servers.
- Plugs into your AI
MCP built in. One line adds it to Claude Code or any AI tool that speaks MCP.
- Thinks for itself
Rockchip RK3576 with a 6 TOPS AI engine. Runs on the camera, or calls your cloud AI.
- Sees day and night
Sony 8 MP (4K) sensor and infrared night vision.
- Talks back
Microphone, speaker and a 534-pixel LED face.
- Goes anywhere
PoE or USB-C, Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Sealed for the outdoors.
How it works
Plug it in. Tell it what to be.
Three steps, and the camera is doing a job only you thought of.
1 · Connect
One line, and it can see
The camera runs its own MCP server. Add it to Claude Code or any AI tool that speaks MCP, and every camera on your network shows up by name.
- MCP server built in, at eyeofthetiger.local
- Works with Claude Code and other MCP clients
- No SDK, no firmware
Terminal
❯claude mcp add --transport http eyeofthetiger http://eyeofthetiger.local/mcp/

2 · Build
Describe the job in plain English
Your AI writes the app and puts it on the camera. Want it to do something else tomorrow? Just say so.
- Watches the sofa on the camera
- Speaks through the camera’s speaker
- Sends you a WhatsApp
Using eyeofthetiger, build me a pet cam for the living room. If the dog gets on the sofa, tell him to get down and message me on WhatsApp.
Done. “Sofa Guard” is running on Living room.
3 · Connect your apps
Answers land where you already are
An app can send what the camera sees to the tools you use every day, or simply say it out loud. It runs on the camera’s own AI chip, or with your own AI when a job needs a bigger model.
- A WhatsApp, a Slack post or a spreadsheet row
- Keeps working when the internet drops
- Your account, your model, your choice
WhatsAppA message with the snapshot
SlackA post to your channel
Google SheetsA new row for every event
EmailA note to your inbox
Its own speakerSays it out loud
Its LED faceGlows to show what it’s doing
What will you build?
If a camera can see it, you can build on it.
A few ideas. Each is something the camera sees, and what happens next.
In the garden
SeesA bird lands on the feeder
DoesNames the species and adds a row to a sheet
On the farm
SeesA ewe starts lambing at night
DoesRings the farmer’s phone
In the living room
SeesThe dog gets on the sofa
DoesSays “Off the sofa!” and sends a WhatsApp
In the workshop
SeesA 3D print starts to fail
DoesSends a snapshot before the spool is wasted
In the café

Questions
What builders ask us.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You tell your AI what you want the camera to do, in plain English, and it builds the app and puts it on the camera. If you do code, everything is open to you too.
Which AI tools does it work with?
Anything that speaks MCP, including Claude Code. Add the camera with one line and it shows up by name, ready for instructions.
Does it need the internet?
Not for apps that run on the camera’s own AI chip: they keep working when the internet drops and footage stays on your network. Apps that use your cloud AI need a connection.
Can I sell what I build?
Yes. List your app on the Eye of the Tiger marketplace and other camera owners can add it to theirs. Builders keep 80% of every sale.
Can I use it outdoors?
Yes. The aluminium body is sealed for the outdoors, and it mounts on a wall stem or stands on a shelf.
