Deep dives
Camera Security Solution
One speaker shares their experience with security cameras that became obsolete due to the manufacturer going out of business, prompting them to seek a replacement. They discovered ThinGino, which allowed them to install custom firmware on their cameras, giving them local control and the ability to receive push notifications for motion detection. Their primary use for the cameras is to monitor their home while away, sending notifications only when the sensors detect unexpected movement or sound. The new setup integrates with Telegram, providing a direct way to be alerted without requiring constant video streaming, alleviating concerns about bandwidth constraints.
