I used to use openipc (that was the “alternative” i was referring to") but its not truly FOSS. Their default streamer is hidden behind closed doors and theyve also taken some contributions and added it to majestic never to be seen in the open again. You cant be sure what theyre doing there.
That said, it is a great alternative if you dont have ingenic based cameras. And they apparently now offer minimal other open source options for streamers…
Some of the key devs left and created thingino because of the whole foss thing. Imo theyre a much friendlier bunch too but thats purely an opinion
Check out thingino. Its a great fully open source project for privacy respecting firmware for ip cameras (unlike other alternatives) and a really helpful bunch of devs.
Might fit you well since you mention youre good with linux
Funny, on my subscription list the post right below yours addresses exactly that…but its an ad of sorts
Thats awful… but im not surprised. I witnessed similar when i used to contribute.
In any case i hate that theyre like this because there is a need for truly open camera firmware but their attitude makes me not even want to mention or recommend them. Especially not as a fully or truly FOSS solution
Thingino devs are bros and do it purely for the foss privacy philosophy. Contributions are encouraged and praised and the support is soo friendly and encouraging
