Original question by @MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca
Looking for the most privacy respecting baby monitor available. Doesn’t have to be overly complicated, just the ability to watch a video feed from an app on my phone. It’s a must have from the wife, so trying to find the best option and accepting some losses in privacy is likely necessary.
Actually @MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca if you want a quick and dirty option, I just used a windows tablet I had on hand and strapped it to the crib along with a USB webcam along with OBS studio with the RTSP server plugin
If you want night vision, make sure to pickup a webcam with IR
After that you can just open the stream with VLC, and VLC is available on all major platforms
ipwebcam + old phone + vlc is the way to go.
