- I've been a happy user of frigate (https://frigate.video) with fully local isolated setup: multiple poe cameras on a dedicated network, coral to supplement on-camera recognition, HA+Prometheus for alerts and smarts.
Excited to see another project, especially in Rust(not for the memes; python env management has bit me a few times when hacking).
One major gripe with frigate that I have is the way it treats detection events as pointers to video files. This makes replicating events off site a major pain.

- Wow!! Very cool project. The reasons you mentioned above are the exact reason that I have not setup security cameras at my house, but this makes me reconsider. Combined with the OSS firmware: https://github.com/openmiko/openmiko this would make a killer combo for privacy conscious individuals.
- My DIY setup uses cameras on an isolated VLAN that prohibits outbound internet access, RTSP data collected by Frigate[0] with Coral TPU recognition, and alerts via Pushover[1] notifications. My push notifications include an unencrypted thumbnail with a link to Frigate that only works via VPN connection.
Seems like this project offers a lot of what I had to cobble together. Nice work. I like that it offers encrypted notifications although I don’t use Android so not ready for me yet. I don’t like the Google dependency.

- If you need an open-source hardware+fw design for a camera with a motion sensor:

- Did you look into Scrypted? It is OSS. With HomeKit (which is how I use it) it is also E2EE. I’m not sure if their app is E2EE though, I only use HomeKit.
It’s pretty good and has an extensive ecosystem. The dev can be a bit… feisty though.
It’s very performant and easy to setup. I don’t use the NVR features as I already have an NVR, I essentially just use it for HomeKit integration of my cameras + doorbell.

- I'm deeply interested in this and it just so happens I only need one hardened IP camera for my home.
Can you point out how your project provides a better security layout than say, Home Assistant? It does appear that there is little concern for encryption between cameras and local networking hubs, but the assumption seems to be that if the device is over a wire it's isolated to the local network, and if it's Wi-Fi it's subject to WPA. So there isn't much desire for additional encryption in that context.
Otherwise, Home Assistant's server/portal is more than capable of encryption beyond the camera's network interface.

- You are a champion, thank you for this. Will have a look at it when time permits. I've had an irrational and random dislike for anything Rust for some reason... probably because big business seems to like it, but will have to choke on that for this project :)
- Nifty. Have you considered trying to make the server be able to run as something like a Cloudflare worker?

- Do self hosted options qualify for insurance discounts ?
- "Privastead uses the Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)"
I'm am totally unfamiliar with this, but what level of concern that theGoogs pulls the plug on this service about the time you gain traction?
- Does the hub possess ability to delete recording from the server? I understand that hub being compromised is not a part of your threat model but I'm curious if you can preserve the recordings in case it was taken over.
- Dude good job. Thanks for this.
