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

The iOS app is not available in my country in Europe.

Is there a way to integrate this into Home Assistant as well?

[–] jkaczman@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

We're exploring Home Assistant integrations for the next update.

Unfortunately, iOS does not allow us to publish in 20ish countries, which are all Europe-based. This is due to certain legislation.

What exactly is preventing you from publishing the App in Europe? There‘s all kinds of similar apps on the Appstore already.

It's this: https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/manage-compliance-information/manage-european-union-digital-services-act-trader-requirements/

For some reason, they did not accept our documentation yet. Therefore, we are not allowed to publish there unfortunately on iOS.
