Need at least the camera, if not that plus a microphone and speakers, not the lock or bell.

Libre Software (Obviously) + End-to-End Encryption

Small and easy to hide, so the camera isn't stolen, attacked or bypassed.

You want Reolink + Frigate

[-] Maestro@fedia.io 5 points 1 month ago

Yes, I have this too. Works fine.

[-] autonomoususer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Cameras seem too big and obvious, easy to attack.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago

Maybe don't subject people to such dystopian surveillance

It's MY house. I'm recording invaders. No one is inviting you here.

I use Eufy doorbells, locks, and cameras. I realize they are a Chinese company, but that is almost unavoidable until the US gets back to actually manufacturing tech.

The reason I like Eufy is the local storage and no required subscription fees.

Isn't this the company that not only got busted for uploading continuous footage but got caught publicly exposing that footage to anyone with VLC?

I if I am remembering correctly you should throw away the device immediately

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

I use eufy as well. The only issue they recently had was that thumbnails were stored in their cloud if you chose to enable them on notifications. If you just select the text option, none of the footage is stored online and everything is local.

Harder for China than the US to attack in the US.

Here's a very similar question I asked here a few months ago: "Privacy respecting ring doorbell" https://lemm.ee/post/8165932

That won't record attackers.

[-] kbal@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago

It might contribute in some small aesthetic way to deterring them, which seems a much better ambition.

[-] anon5621@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

You don't need a doorbell camera, get a regular camera instead.

You need an app which will receive events from a doorbell via a server to receive data to interface with the app. Both of those things need to be owned and operated by someone to be approved for use on the app store. That's why a custom open source of doorbell as you envision it doesn't exist and never will.

Wow, that's something new.

Or just someone copy pasting their old comments

[-] anon5621@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

No lol,i just copied solution of other person,i just thought for myself that his solution make sense.

[-] Gingernate@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago

I guess, but not all app stores have the same restrictions... And there are open source ways of doing this, software anyway, maybe not with hardware.

How did you happen to find that?

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 10 points 1 month ago

Autistic absolute recall.

[-] Gingernate@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago

Simple Google search of the original question, because I want to do the same thing, or at least self host a home security system.

[-] umami_wasbi@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

I agree mostly except the app. Don't pretent Home Assistant doesn't have an app.

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Reolink has a local encrypted video doorbell.

[-] DARbarian@fedia.io 1 points 1 month ago

Been hunting for the same thing for years
