Scream

They meant they cant “WEAR” the sticker because its already been stuck on the paper it came with

Thats awful… but im not surprised. I witnessed similar when i used to contribute.

In any case i hate that theyre like this because there is a need for truly open camera firmware but their attitude makes me not even want to mention or recommend them. Especially not as a fully or truly FOSS solution

Thingino devs are bros and do it purely for the foss privacy philosophy. Contributions are encouraged and praised and the support is soo friendly and encouraging

I used to use openipc (that was the “alternative” i was referring to") but its not truly FOSS. Their default streamer is hidden behind closed doors and theyve also taken some contributions and added it to majestic never to be seen in the open again. You cant be sure what theyre doing there.

That said, it is a great alternative if you dont have ingenic based cameras. And they apparently now offer minimal other open source options for streamers…

Some of the key devs left and created thingino because of the whole foss thing. Imo theyre a much friendlier bunch too but thats purely an opinion

Groot looks a little tired

This looks like the web simulator falstad…

Crowdsec?

Check out thingino. Its a great fully open source project for privacy respecting firmware for ip cameras (unlike other alternatives) and a really helpful bunch of devs.

Might fit you well since you mention youre good with linux

Just did a search on fdroid

Servdroid looks 11 years old

LWS is about 5 which might still work

If you really need a web server you can possibly run one on termux, not sure if root required though

If its just file sharing, see the other comment

Amaze and Material Files are open source and can create an ftp server

They had a very very similar thing in bicentennial man

This, as well as the fediverse’s double edged feature that stuff pretty much can never be deleted (only “requested”).

This sounds like a privacy nightmare

Many selfhosted NVRs have been suggested. Personally ive tried:

iSpy

Frigate

Zoneminder

Shinobi

Ended up settling on zoneminder at this stage.

For cameras themselves i just want to point out the OpenIPC project - opensource firmware if youre technically inclined

Edit: I’m hesitant to recomment OpenIPC now since the main streamer is closed source. Thingino is fully open and developed by some of the devs who didn’t agree with the closed source portion
