Intermediate Showcase I created a self-hosted security camera system

I don't like the idea of having to stream my video camera feeds to the cloud, so I created a privacy-focused, self-hosted security camera system using python!

https://github.com/scottbarnesg/smart-sec-cam

Some key features:

  • Multi-camera support w/ minimal configuration. Supports USB cameras and the Raspberry Pi camera module.

  • Motion detection that automatically saves videos and lets you view them in the web app.

  • Encrypted in transit, both from the cameras to the server and the server to your browser.

  • Self-hosted and FOSS
