Secluso

Secluso is an open-source, privacy-focused home security camera system that uses advanced end-to-end encryption to protect video data from unauthorized access. Unlike many commercial smart cameras that send footage to cloud servers where providers can potentially access it, Secluso encrypts video streams directly on the camera before they are relayed, ensuring that only the user’s mobile app can view recorded or live content. The design splits responsibilities across distinct components: a camera hub that captures and encrypts footage, a mobile app for monitoring and receiving encrypted event notifications, and a relay server that passes encrypted data without being able to decrypt it. Secluso supports multiple camera types, including Raspberry Pi-based standalone setups and existing IP cameras, as long as they can interface with the system’s recording and encryption pipelines.
