[Cerowrt-devel] openwrt or "open" security cams?

[Dave Taht]

ya know, I am now mindblown by how little folk have paid attention to
security in security cams.

Stross's "scorpion stare" mod comes to mind. It's bad enough that
"Cloud support" is sold as
a "feature", merely being able to have some certainty the feed is
going to my cloud  or the camera
is not a launch point for attacks within a network is kind of lacking
in what I've perused thus far.

I'd merely started with the thought that maybe I wanted ipv6 support,
and that physical security is
a problem in the first place for power and so on. I did find an
outdoor camera with potential - battery backup, wifi, and solar
support...
