I’ve already cracked this with Nest cameras around our house. When something cute happens I tell my Google Home to take a note with the time so I can go take a clip later. Very poor showing from Google that this isn’t already integrated — would love to say “Hey google save a clip of the last 3 minutes from the bedroom camera”

The needed feature for me is POV. Eye contact, etc, are a big part of memories. I know there is probably a dystopian future that could come from such a product, but, well, my daughter will only be 2 once.

  Try it. Mounted at floor level the Nest footage does a pretty good job of capturing the moment.

I can’t say I love the idea of turning my home into a surveillance state.

  Then don't. No-one is forcing you to install Nest.

  I didn't either, but I didn't have a better plan at the time and I didn't want to lose the moments. I'm working on a non-cloud replacement with Raspberry Pis, where all of them are continuously recording and saving to local storage. That's the easy part, haven't figured out clip extraction and when I do I'll replace the Nests.

      I have not been able to get good frame rates from Zoneminder connected to MJPEG streaming on Raspberry Pi. I figure I'd need to record the video locally on the Pi but that's about as far as I've gotten.
