## Choose when

### Choose onepanel if…

- onepanel is primarily Go; DeepCamera is JavaScript.
- License: onepanel is Apache-2.0, DeepCamera is MIT.
- Tags unique to onepanel: aiops, annotation, deeplearning, hyperparameter-tuning.
- Also covers Model Training.
- onepanel ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- When you need an end-to-end platform that supports multiple aspects of computer vision including advanced functionalities such as hyperparameter tuning and automated workflows.

### Choose DeepCamera if…

- DeepCamera is primarily JavaScript; onepanel is Go.
- License: DeepCamera is MIT, onepanel is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to DeepCamera: ai-camera, cctv, computer-vision, local-ai.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks.
- When you want to integrate advanced local VLM video analysis with your home surveillance setup using multiple communication platforms.

## When NOT to use onepanel

- Avoid using Onepanel for projects that require extensive Java-based development because it is written in Go.
- Not suitable if you seek a platform focusing solely on model serving or inference without capabilities to go back upstream into data labeling and preprocessing stages.

## When NOT to use DeepCamera

- Avoid if you need cloud-based solutions or services without support for local LLM integration through specific platforms like Telegram or Discord.
- Not recommended if your project requires extensive customization beyond the provided skills and you prefer full control over model setup.
