Would love to see something like this but simpler:
A simple open source Android app that I can connect to my WiFi and then connect to from the outside so I can see what is going on in my premises.
So it should just wait for a connect from the outisde and when I connect (via a browser) it turns on the camera and streams the video.
The app code should be as short as possible, so I can read and compile it myself. So I can trust it.
- j1elo 7y agoThat wouldn't make much sense, the point of these apps is to do security surveillance (sort of), if you had to consciously connect from time to time to see what happens in your premises and review that everything is OK, you would do so the first two days, then would forget about it. Like doing backups by hand. What you want is a baby monitor with video.
- FreeHugs 7y agoyou would do so the first two days, then would forget about it If that happens: MISSION FUCKING ACCOMPLISHED! Because the whole point is to make me stop worrying about my home when I am away.
- j1elo 7y agoReally then just power off the device and there you go, zero worries :) Now really, I've had a look and it seems there are a variety of cloud baby monitor apps, that would allow for the occasional check.
- shezi 7y agoThere are several baby monitor apps that do something like this. I don't know if any of them are open source. The keyword is baby monitor, that's what this functionality is marketed as.
