https://sovran.video/videos/watch/cadedb64-e5f5-4ed3-b3d7-d962b86d55b9 We've all seen or deployed network cameras that require one to use a proprietary mobile app to configure, manage or access the camera. Moreover, these cameras send the video streams through the manufacturer's servers in a bid to make them accessible from anywhere. By using libre-software powered network-cameras, we can avoid all such tracking and dependence on proprietary software + services. Thingino and OpenIPC are free-software projects at aim to provide a free software replacement firmware for off-the-shelf cameras. During this talk I will - -- illustrate different ways to deploy Thingino onto cameras and development boards available in India -- discuss how having root access to your camera can makes it more useful, safe and extensible. -- mention self-hosted, free-software NVR (network video recorder) tools that can help us aggregate, record and analyze camera feeds locally Sun, 04 Oct 2026 02:44:44 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://sovran.video https://sovran.video/lazy-static/avatars/b0d8aeba-a546-4d1a-94a6-5889adae46d5.png https://sovran.video/videos/watch/cadedb64-e5f5-4ed3-b3d7-d962b86d55b9 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://sovran.video/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
