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

Yuuup some red flags going on. "Look at all these possible controversies and doubts you may have! We already have the answers because we really want you to use this product!"

At least with other cameras they may be stealing my data and selling it but at least I can join a class action lawsuit and get some free credit monitoring out of it.

Right, I was just thinking about that. These two people, allegedly, are going to sell hardware and software and cloud storage in an industry that could very easily sue them… ehhhhhh. It doesn’t seem too thought out.

Typically these things try to make a huge separation between the code and any actual hardware or cloud service etc.
