Hello, I’m wondering what the consensus is (if there is one) on the best hardware and software (open source very much preferred, runs in Docker is a must) to use for privacy-respecting, self-hosted security cameras. I have always wanted to avoid feeding the surveillance state and have never had a security camera but unfortunately I recently saw evidence of someone trying to break into my home. I searched Lemmy for posts on this topic and only found one from two years ago: https://lemmy.world/post/12726787. I assume things are a bit different now so I’m basically making the same post again as OP. Thanks in advance for any tips anyone may have for me.
PS. My experience level is that I currently run several self-hosted solutions via Docker and have been doing so for a few years. I am not a networking guru but I do understand the basics, and I’ve setup pihole in the past (but deactivated it due to some false-positive issues). If there’s a reason to stand that back up in order to prevent otherwise private cameras from “phoning home”, I can do that.
I see, I think. When it comes to the updates you’re mentioning, is that primarily the firmware on the devices that is of concern? Whatever software solution I’d go with, I’d stay pretty on top of updating it because that’s something I’ve learned is pretty important.
Apologies for the account change, credential rolling schedule waits for no man.
Yes, it’s device firmware.
Again, if you would like a more practical approach based on the experience of being robbed I will gladly volunteer it.
