They’re affordable and ubiquitous, but homeowners shouldn’t be able to act as vigilantes.

    Could I do this with an RPi 4 B 4GB, I wonder? I’m just About to have mine arrive and I would love to have a couple CCTV cameras in my place.

      Yes, elit does take some messing around to get working though, so I wouldn’t recommend unless you want to spend a bit messing around with configuring a server. (Make sure to back up the pi’s SD card so if it fails you can easily replace it)

      As long as you are just doing capture and aren’t attempting to do anything where a re-encode of the video stream is needed then absolutely. You’ll need something other than a microSD card though to write the video too.

        Brilliant, yah I’d just want it captured and stored on like a WD NAS HDD attached to a computer in the basement.

        Or if I ever get my ass in gear and set up my GSA…
