Gladys

18 2,489 9.2 JavaScript

A privacy-first, open-source home assistant

Project mention: Home Assistant 2023.11 | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-02

We are making Gladys Assistant ( https://gladysassistant.com/ ), an open-source smart home software.
It's less "techy" than HA (no YAML files, no CLI), and UI first.
We have way less integrations for now, but are working hard on it.
Don't hesitate to try it and make us some feedback.

zmNinja

5 969 8.5 JavaScript

High performance, cross platform ionic app for Home/Commerical Security Surveillance using ZoneMinder

Project mention: Child Pornography on Sale from Hacked Hikvision “Baby Monitor” Cameras | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-15

If the camera is ONVIF compatible, and most Hikvision are, it should work with Zoneminder and its mobile Open Source app zmninja.
As for the cloud, if you have a public (not necessarily static) IP and your carrier doesn't filter incoming connections, you can use a dynamic DNS such as DuckDNS.
It is however always advisable to put any camera behind a firewall, so that whatever it could happen (compromised or not, it still runs a closed firmware) it can be restricted to a dedicated physical network with no access to any personal data.
