I can do the same with almost any IP camera and even USB one with low latency and maximum quality the camera can supports. If anyone is interested in such setup I can do a quick write up about or maybe a repo with the configs needed.
- smokeydoe 3y agoI think most of us here are interested in such setup…
- jamiek88 3y agoI too would love to hear more!
- lylejantzi3rd 3y agoYes, please. I have a Kasa cam I'd love to make local.
- bozhark 3y agoPlease do!
- xattt 3y agoCan you do nest cam?
- pokot0 3y agoPretty please!
- ryaneager 3y agoWould it work with a Nest camera?
- throwaway14356 3y agoyou should sell an application to manage many cams from a pc with a phone app to access it remotely. The significant other has 4 different apps for cams. They each have silly issues, sd cards are to small and they all charge wild fees for cloud storage that they didn't disclose before purchase. I can buy new ones but with the cheaper ones it is more likely a repetition of the mistake made 4 times already. The software can be 6 times as expensive as the cams and still be entirely worth it. What I also want is someone in a low wage country watching a wall full of cams cycling from one cam to the next. That service western security companies charge thousands per month for. Robbery right there!
- quaintdev 3y agoI want to do same thing with smart plugs. There's not a single smart plug on market that won't connect to cloud to control plug from anywhere. I don't want to control from anywhere dammit. I just want control on my LAN. Edit: At least on amazon.in I could not find any. https://www.amazon.in/s?k=smart+plugs https://www.amazon.in/s?k=smart+plugs
- btzs 3y agoGet one with preflashed Tasmota. They are local connection only.
- jjnoakes 3y ago> There's not a single smart plug on market that won't connect to cloud to control plug from anywhere. Don't ZigBee and zwave smart plugs work locally only?
- lima 3y agoYep. Zigbee is the way to go - it is a whole ecosystem of "local by design" devices.
- tjoff 3y agoIf starting anew Thread is probably a better bet. Such as the Eve smart plug. But with both zigbee/thread the problem is shifted towards the gateway instead so you'll have to do it yourself / pick one tu trust there. But here I think/hope Thread is going to have better interoperability.
- malermeister 3y agoWith ZigBee at least there's dumb gateways that just plug into USB. I run one of those using a raspberry pi!
- nucleardog 3y agoYep. Both are local only by design. And if you don’t want to deal with the hub potentially being your next issue, you can always throw home assistant on a computer / raspberry pi / whatever and control them locally. If you want remote access when you’re off your network, it’s up to you to figure out how to securely get the bits from your phone to your home assistant server.
- noyesno 3y agoI’m certainly interested to read more about your setup.
- lormayna 3y agoFor sure, I have a cheap set of Chinese cameras and I would like to remove the default crappy firmware
- CapstanRoller 3y agoThis would be incredibly useful! Please consider contributing this info to https://wiki.zoneminder.com/ https://wiki.zoneminder.com/
- pie314isi 3y agoI think a lot of people would be very interested if you had a general method for many brands of camera
- tjoff 3y agoAlmost any IP camera? Surely it is going to be very unqiue depending on vendor/hardware?
- gettodachoppa 3y agoCould I ask for some advice? I was gifted a new rando chinese IP cam that uses the mobile app. It's not googlable. I've been using as a outside security camera. The camera saves to an SD card continuously, and has a paid option to use the cloud which I did not take. It has a mobile app, KP WIFICAM, which lets me view the feed in real-time even over the Internet. I can even view or download the past few days of recordings on the SD card from a menu. However, they are separated into chunks of 10 minutes, so I would have to manually download nearly 100 files files (tap, Download, wait to finish, move to next clip) to get a single day of recordings. How could I automate/simplify the downloading of these clips from the SD cards to my laptop? How is the mobile app listing the recordings and fetching them? I ran a tool called Agent-DVR and it found the camera feed using a format called ONVIF. So I think the mobile app uses this protocol https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29159422/get-data-from-local-storage-sd-card-of-onvif-camera https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29159422/get-data-from-l... , is there a tool like this available for Linux I could use without spending a couple of days installing a developer environment and writing my own code?
- azalemeth 3y agoOne simple workaround might be to get a wireless SD card? There are a few of these for DSLRs, where they have some (relatively small) amount of storage but come with the ability to join the network and share it via samba seamlessly...
- travisporter 3y agoWould love to know more - are these still on the market? Amazon results are really sketcy
- senojsitruc 3y agoIf you have a device on which you can run my app (streamie.co), it’ll record your camera 24/7 to a NAS or S3 and write out .mov files (also ten minute segments), but they’d be trivially combined with ffmpeg. As long as you don’t need more than three cameras, it’s all free.
- beckerdo 3y agoWould love to get general directions for a Blink camera.
- LTL_FTC 3y agoThis would be great. Google sent out an email not long ago that they were discontinuing nest cams. Mine still works great but soon will become a paperweight, otherwise.
- tlavoie 3y agoI've got some Reolink Argus 2s, which are probably Linux under the hood. They're not set up to stream locally without an app, unlike their wired models, but there are likely functionality limitations due to being battery powered. Any thoughts?
- jiva 3y agoSorry but I am skeptical. Unless you’ve managed to reverse engineer “almost any IP camera”, I’ll believe this when I see it.
