Video-surveillance by Balena Hub

If you're looking for a seamless, easy and innovative video surveillance system for your property, than this is the project you've been waiting for. We've created an app video-surveillance on Balena Hub, that helps you deploying a video surveillance system on the hardware you prefer, with all the benefits you expect from a modern IoT system nowadays. The project is relying on the popular Kerberos Agent, added with some additional useful Balena blocks.

The idea of this project is to build and advance a video surveillance system with multiple Balena blocks and/or third-party containers, that make up the defacto video surveillance system anyone can use. The existing video-surveillance application is using following blocks:

• Kerberos Agent is the foundation of the video-surveillance application.
• Hostname will allow the video-surveillance project to be reachable on your network by a DNS name.

Getting Started

You can one-click-deploy this application using the button below:

Application Environment Variables

Application environment variables apply to all services within the application, and can be applied fleet-wide to apply to multiple devices.

Name	Description
SET_HOSTNAME	Set a custom hostname on application start. Default is videosurveillance.

Usage

Initial setup

Once your device joins the fleet you'll need to allow some time for it to download the application.

1. Connect to http://YOUR-DEVICE-IP or depending on the hostname http://videosurveillance.local in your browser
2. Sign-in with the default username rootand password root or change using the environment variables.
3. Go to the configuration page and fill-in the RTSP url of your IPCamera.
4. Press save, and the Kerberos Agent will connect to your camera, and show a live view on the dashboard page.

Documentation for the Kerberos Agent and other services can be found at https://doc.kerberos.io/
