  • frigate

    NVR with realtime local object detection for IP cameras

  • I haven't looked into it, but someone else recommended https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate which integrates with Home Assistant.

  • iOSbackup

    A Python 3 class that reads and extracts files from a password-encrypted iOS backup created by iTunes on Mac and Windows. Compatible with iOS 14. Class works on Linux too.

  • If the backup password to these encrypted files is known, it can be rather trivial to access the data within.

    Recently, a certain head of state's son had 100s of GB of iCloud backups thrown onto a torrent, and within a day rogue manchildren living in their parents' basements cracked most, if not all of it open.

    With the backup password in hand, all one needs is this README.md file [0] to be off to the races.

  • choicecam-server

    University project, website coming soon

  • I did this for a university project. It streams to S3 (of Azure or Digital Ocean) encrypted, the client downloads it from there.

    It's very rough around the edges but if you are up to contribute it's a good base.

  • awesome-selfhosted

    A list of Free Software network services and web applications which can be hosted on your own servers

  • >>how do you prevent a violent home invasion or burglary where the first thing they do is at gunpoint force you to show them where your server is so they can disconnect/destroy it?

    I would love to see a source of this being a common tactic of thieves, home invasion in general are extremely rare as most thieves are cowards and want to attack soft targets i.e unoccupied homes. Then of the home invasions I am aware of, I know of ZERO where the "first thing they did" was force the homeowner to show them the location of the storage server.

    Even if that is a "common occurrence" which I doubt, what stops a home invader from cutting off the internet before the attack? and many of these cloud connected cams are wifi, there are several very easy attack vectors to knock them offline. I think your strawman is weak and easily defeated in a number of ways

    >>> better if you could please provide links to how-to starter guides on how to do this
