- get a cheapo chinese camera supported by thingino firmware

- install FW.

- extra: install open source NVR like frigade and connect these cameras, preferably over ethernet not wifi.

- extra extra: have a separate VLAN for these cameras.

Now you have a secure isolated system. If you want a remote viewer, you can have a vpn tunnel to your nvr to access it from anywhere in the world.

It’s not a perfect system but way more secure than anything consumer out there

Great Project! I just wish, their HDB would enable filtering on which cameras have Ethernet, and/or the data-lines connected on the USB-Power-Plug, so that I could equip them with USB NIC (for the ones that don't have ethernet), and then run them with a POE-Splitter.

Having the data pins connected would also enable lots of other nifty use-cases.

Also, have they managed to forward port the drivers to a recent mainline kernel in the meantime, or are they still on ancient vendor SDK kernel versions?
