I’ve been thinking about writing my own security cam software that would let you use any WebDAV provider and just a Raspberry Pi with a camera. I’ve gotten better at packaging stuff for Docker. All the big company security cameras have huge drawbacks.
The only problem with my thing would be weather proofing. I don’t know of any waterproof Raspberry Pi case that can take a camera. :(
Having a weatherproof case made wouldn’t be too much issue. Let me know if you go ahead with it and maybe I can do the case.
Cost wouldn’t be feasible for 1-offs, but any volume orders and the price for the cases would come straight down.
I started working on this yesterday.

Locally, I've got it loading the stream from the camera, encoding, and muxing, then pushing to a filesystem write stream, but I’ve discovered software based encoding in single threaded WASM is just too slow for what I’m trying to do. I’m going to rewrite it today to use FFMPEG externally for encoding.
Really? That would be awesome! Maybe more people would be interested.
