secluso/core

A privacy-preserving Raspberry Pi home security camera that uses advanced end-to-end encryption.

What it solves

Secluso provides a private, DIY home security camera system that eliminates the need for cloud surveillance. It allows users to maintain full control over their footage and privacy by avoiding third-party cloud providers.

How it works

The system is built for the Raspberry Pi (specifically Zero 2W) and uses a Raspberry Pi Camera Module. It utilizes an end-to-end encrypted remote access system with an "untrusted-relay" design to allow remote viewing, alerts, and playback of encrypted clips from a mobile app on Android or iOS.

Who it’s for

Privacy-conscious users who want to set up their own home security cameras using Raspberry Pi hardware and a Linux VPS for relay hosting.

Highlights

  • End-to-end encryption: Ensures remote access to live video and recordings is secure.
  • Quick Setup: A dedicated deployment tool handles image building, pairing, and relay setup in about 5 minutes.
  • Open Source and Reproducible: The source code is open, and the runtime binaries, deploy tool, and mobile apps are fully reproducible to ensure transparency.
  • Hardware-focused: Specifically designed for Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and compatible Sony sensors.
