source Seems like rather similar options to me?

yeah, it doesn’t destroy anything on the worldwide scale.

erosion is a rather perfect term for it


how about gitlab as a self-hosted alternative?


You may be thinking of motioneye - https://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneye, which integrates with HASS fairly well if I remember.

Pretty sure I was, thanks!


Quite a while ago, I used motion.
It’s fairly basic, but did all that I needed. It’s standalone, so no integration with home-assistant, at least not to my memory.

I seem to remember that there is something that builds up on motion, and I dimly remember a web-interface, but can’t find the package right now.

Maybe an okay starting point, if no-one points out something better
