Privacy-preserving alternative to Ring cameras (Raspberry Pi Zero 2W)! (lemmy.zip)

Hey everyone,

We've built an open-source, privacy-preserving alternative to Ring cameras using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W (called Secluso). It uses end-to-end encryption to send videos from the camera to a mobile app, which is available both in Google Play Store and Apple App Store. We also support Obtainium for people that do not wish to use Google Play.

We've put in a lot of effort to make it easy to set up! You can set up our camera on your own Pi in less than 5 minutes with minimal technical expertise using our easy-to-use GUI deploy tool. Here are our setup guide and open source release.

The image shows a Pi in an official Raspberry Pi enclosure that you can use for your camera. We've also been working on a HAT for the Pi to add night vision, audio, temperature monitoring for safety, all in a compact form factor. You can see the HAT and an enclosure for the whole camera in the photo.

We've been working on this for almost 2 years now, and we look forward to we look forward to seeing what you all think! If you're interested in our efforts in general outside of DIY, our main website with our pre-built offering is here: click to see our website

Agreed, however the number of positive comments from one-day old accounts is suspect for me.

This is a security product where trust is paramount, so I get a bit itchy about anything like that, but I could be overreacting.

I can't speak to the account thing, I checked the guy you replied to and it seems like his is 3 months old, not yesterday.

I wanted to mention that we plan to get a third-party security audit by a reputable firm sometime this summer.

Yea I edited that part because Lemmy was not showing me the right info, but there are more below, which is.. Odd.

In any event, great to hear about an SA, and I have starred the project to check it out.
