Launch week: every idea card is free.Get Pro

SaaS ideas, mined from what people actually complain about.

Every idea comes from real Reddit posts, was researched against today's competitors, and survived an independent skeptic before it made the list.

Unreliable AI Camera Alerts

Camera-based AI systems produce false positives, miss real events, and overwhelm users with noisy alerts, making them untrustworthy for safety and monitoring.

In their words

We have now swapped other schools but kept a lot of the onvif cams

r/videosurveillance on Reddit

we could really use something that is able to make easier to detect and identify such offenders without having to literally scrub through every 24h video feed each day

r/videosurveillance on Reddit

We need the system to be rock solid so it doesn't drop frames or freeze mid-consultation.

r/VIDEOENGINEERING on Reddit

My current setup pings me every time a fox walks past the garden at 2am, and after a week of that you just start ignoring everything including the alerts that actually matter.

r/homeassistant on Reddit

I intend on developing a program to track the physical location of the boards, and create vector graphics to send to a laser in realtime.

r/Laserist on Reddit

I will review the footage at accelerated speed for low and high yield batches

r/manufacturing on Reddit

Dispatch said I was obstructing the seatbelt and took me off the road.

r/AmazonDSPDrivers on Reddit

A guy walking to his truck at lunch two weeks ago becomes an intruder at 9:00:23 PM tonight.

r/Ubiquiti on Reddit

We are developing a rural monitoring trap that needs to send images from the field.

r/Lora on Reddit

The main problem is 2-3 chicken merged into one. And we cannot process them by size cause they can change the size by legs and wings.

r/computervision on Reddit

We have one of those. Stupid thing stops in the middle of the gym, claiming it's path is blocked.

r/Custodians on Reddit

I really need a way to disable all the faces in a crowd, as right now I have to remove those detections manually.

r/Lightroom on Reddit

An open source implementation that has accurate and reliable "human detection" would be amazing.

Hacker News

In a relative small city we manage 500+ cameras and more are added every day. The problem is storage and finding people to monitor them.

  • r/videosurveillance
  • r/PLC
  • r/embedded
  • r/WalmartEmployees
  • r/Ultralytics
  • r/worxlandroid
  • r/hwstartups

Tools they use today

  • YOLO
  • OpenCV
  • ESP32
  • LoRaWAN
  • Avigilon
  • ByteTrack
  • Motion
  • Roboflow

Why those fall short

  • Tracker loses chicks; 2-3 chicks merge into one clump; size filtering fails
  • flags carts, feet, customers mid-checkout; pulls you out of your app
  • flags seatbelt as obstructed when it slips off shoulder
  • AI doesn't know the store, flags glare, tiles, carried items
  • gets stuck constantly, can't find path, camera issues, battery dies
