A citizen-powered camera network for missing-person cases. Everyday people and law enforcement agencies opt in their own cameras; the platform automatically checks faces seen on those feeds against active missing-person cases, and a human reviewer confirms every possible match before anyone is alerted.
Cameras connect through Eyes Of Aziz, a free, open-source bridge app you run on a computer on the same network as your cameras. It finds them for you, registers them to your Project Aziz account, and then runs quietly in the background. It works with ONVIF-capable IP cameras and recorders (most Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, Amcrest and similar). It doesn't work with cloud-only cameras like Ring, Nest or Wyze, which have no local video feed.
Create an account
Sign up for Project Aziz. Your cameras are registered to your account.
Run the setup
It scans your network, finds your cameras and recorders, and registers the ones you pick.
Leave it running
The bridge runs in the background and restarts with the computer. A status page shows each camera.
No installs needed. Download the zip for your computer, unzip it, and open eyes-of-aziz-setup. The setup dashboard opens in your browser: log in, pick the cameras it found, then click Start automatically so the bridge starts whenever the computer does.
The downloads aren't code-signed yet, so your computer will warn you the first time. On Windows, click More info, then Run anyway. On a Mac, right-click the app, choose Open, then Open again. You only need to do this once.
How it will work
The Eyes Of Aziz bridge, run by the camera's owner, watches an existing IP camera or recorder and looks for faces on the owner's own computer. Only the faces it finds are sent to Project Aziz. The rest of the video never leaves the owner's network.
Each face is compared against photos from active missing-person cases only. If there's no likely match, it's deleted immediately. Project Aziz doesn't build up a library of footage of the general public.
A possible match is never treated as a confirmed sighting automatically. It goes to a law-enforcement reviewer, who confirms it — notifying the case owner and family — or dismisses it as a false positive.
Powered by the community
Eyes Of Aziz is built around the same trust model as My Aziz Network : participation is voluntary, ownership stays with the person who opted in, and access is limited to who actually needs it.
Any Project Aziz user will be able to register a camera they own — a doorbell camera, a home security camera, anything RTSP-capable — the same way people join My Aziz Network today. Registering a camera is the opt-in; you can turn participation off again at any time, and it stops being searched going forward.
Verified law enforcement agencies will be able to register their own RTSP/CCTV cameras directly, alongside the citizen-contributed network — the same agency verification process used everywhere else on the platform.
Matching against the network — citizen and agency cameras alike — is limited to approved law enforcement agencies. A citizen's own camera never gives them a feed of "possible match" alerts; only that it's online and participating.
Opting out isn't just a UI toggle — it's enforced at the point cameras are actually searched, so revoking access stops future matches immediately, not just the display of a setting.
Not a substitute for 911
Eyes Of Aziz will supplement missing-person investigations, not replace them or dispatch emergency services. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911 first. Read more about how the platform is kept safe on our Safety & Trust page.
Turn a camera you already own into part of a network that helps bring missing people home — with full control over whether it participates.

See resources for agencies →You can register a camera and run the bridge today on Windows, macOS, or with Docker on Linux, a Raspberry Pi or a NAS. It works with ONVIF-capable IP cameras and recorders, not cloud-only consumer cameras. Follow progress by joining My Aziz Network today, or reach out and we'll let you know as broader camera support opens up.
