Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (donβt cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Slightly off topic and something I read from somewhere else, but make sure whatever you use can write the date & time onto the camera images, otherwise it isn't usable for any police / insurance claims.
I'd guess all systems do this now, but just wanted it to be on your checklist of features.
If the camera doesn't do it, then the storage server must.
(And make sure the clock is sync'd to something π)
Noted, good point, thanks!
Weird. I mean, could you just access the properties of said picture to reveal the date taken?
Meta data could be edited/unintentionally overwritten
Sure, but the same is true for embedded timestamps. Just put a black bar over it with the time and date in white. Claim that the system does it that way, done.
If the timestamps on the current live cctv image looks completely different, then you're out of luck using it as evidence.
After all, it's your video evidence, why would you want to fake it if you're trying to prove that someone stole that Amazon parcel off your front door step...
This isn't X-Files... πΈ
