# CityCAM > CityCAM connects people who create visual detection models with people who use them. Choose a published model, point your phone camera and let it watch for the object or situation that matters to you. Application release: 0.99.99. Product facts updated: 2026-10-14. Application, model and training-recipe versions are independent; old model assets do not identify the current application release. CityCAM is not limited to cars. A model learns a specific visual target from example photographs: an object, a visible feature or a scene condition. What the app can detect depends on the models available in its catalogue, their training data and the camera view. Examples of targets a creator could train include a tow truck in a street view, a particular vehicle attachment, an animal, an object at an entrance or a visible change at a workstation. These are possible applications, not a promise that every example already has a published model. Check the catalogue for active models, their purpose, supported markets and limitations. You can use CityCAM anywhere in the world. The platform connects creators and users across countries, with models organised by market and category. We welcome creators who understand local needs and bring useful, inventive and enjoyable models to their communities. Availability of individual models and features may vary by market. ## Product documentation - [About CityCAM](https://citycam.app/about/index.md): Current capabilities, account tiers, creator workflow, privacy choices, limitations and the Premium read API, signed webhooks and scoped remote commands. Updated 2026-10-14. - [O CityCAM — čeština](https://citycam.app/about/cs/index.md): The same product explanation in Czech. - [About — web page](https://citycam.app/about/): Public HTML version of the product documentation. - [Creator Studio](https://citycam.app/creators/): Creator programme and application. - [Terms of Service](https://citycam.app/terms/): Current eligibility and service conditions. - [Creator Programme Terms](https://citycam.app/creators/terms/v1.0/): Creator responsibilities and reward calculation. ## Current and planned capabilities The platform is under active development and testing. The standard creator workflow and user features described above are implemented; this does not certify any individual model’s accuracy. Purchase and payout availability depend on the account and the current service configuration. - Without an account: Use available detection models. History stays in this browser. No account photo archive or Telegram alerts. - Free account: Sign in by email; optionally add a passkey. Positive detection photos are saved to your account. View the latest 24 hours of account history. - Premium: Account photo history for up to 60 days. Detection photos and alerts sent to your connected Telegram recipient when enabled. Monthly or annual subscription; see Account for current pricing and purchase availability. ## No-code Creator Studio — create detection models from photographs Creator Studio is a no-code tool: turn your own photographs into an AI detection model with a step-by-step wizard. No coding required. You do not need to code, install TensorFlow or bring a ready-made AI model. Bring an idea and photographs you have permission to use. In the wizard, label examples with and without the target, start training and test the model on your phone. CityCAM handles the technical model setup. Creators choose varied, useful examples and check the results; uploading photos alone does not guarantee accuracy. Creation is available after creator approval, and publication requires model review. - Organise your examples: Choose an existing category and a market, describe the target, add a preview and import photographs. Organise them into scenes with and without the target, including missed targets and false alarms. The wizard helps prepare separate training, validation and test scenes. - Train and test: Train in your browser, then run field tests on a phone. Label captures, review the results and retrain a draft. The submission checklist shows the requirements still to meet before review. - Improve with feedback: When you enable a request for training contributions, users can voluntarily share photographs for that model. Sort them into target present, target absent or discarded, then use suitable examples in a new version. Sharing is separate from normal detection alerts. - Publish and share: Submit a version for administrator review. Published model weights stay fixed; improvements go into a new version. You can edit the public description and preview, share a direct link or QR code and review available link statistics. A shared link selects the model without starting the camera. - Follow your progress: Your Studio brings together model states, usage, user star ratings, feedback, reward statements and payout details. Notifications highlight items needing attention. Approved creators can join a private Telegram community with topic previews in Studio. The creator programme allocates 25% of eligible net Premium revenue to a shared monthly pool, divided by verified paid use of creators’ models. Rewards are subject to the programme terms; earnings are not guaranteed. ## Advanced optimisation — implemented, activation pending A readiness checklist, AI pre-check and GPU optimisation workflow have been implemented for qualifying creator datasets. Processing is not generally enabled: activation and end-to-end testing are still pending. An optimisation produces a candidate version to compare and review, not an automatic accuracy guarantee. Synthetic image generation and independent recurring AI quality audits are not available yet. ## Premium API, webhooks and scoped remote commands The read-only REST API lets Premium accounts retrieve their own retained detection events, authorized photographs and available models through CityCAM’s servers. Account API keys have selectable permissions, expiry and immediate revocation; a synthetic connection test also works without Premium. Signed webhooks can deliver new confirmed detections to verified HTTPS endpoints, with bounded retries and delivery status. The API also reports open app instances and supports scoped model-selection and detection-restart commands with expiry and device acknowledgement. It cannot start a stopped camera, wake a closed app or reboot a phone. Potential uses include operational or industrial monitoring; CityCAM is not a certified safety-critical industrial sensor.
