If you’re looking for a security camera solution with the benefits of big name cloud camera providers (footage is stored off site, accessible if all your cameras are down), but that keeps your data private (everything is encrypted before being uploaded to the cloud), I’m working on one:
https://github.com/sciactive/soteria
It’s not ready yet, but when it is, it will let you use an Amazon S3 compatible server to upload all of your footage, and that will all be encrypted before being uploaded.
Eh, couldn't you just use backup software like Borg or Restic? Or maybe I'm misunderstanding the niche here.
The benefit of doing it this way is that the stream is uploaded nearly live. So anything that happens that kills the cameras should be caught and uploaded. (Like if someone breaks into your house and knows where your cameras are.) Partial uploads, because the streams are fragmented MP4 streams, should be viewable. I’ll also be able to use WebRTC to support actual live feeds from the camera.
Ah, interesting. I'll keep an eye on your project then. :)
Oh no... no need. Just frustrating how Google buys up good companies to expand their footprint and then shutters them when they've used them up for their temporary worth. It's like Smartthings. Amazing Kickstarter. Amazing community. Amazing API. Samsung slowly ruined it all to connect their devices.
