I think solely focusing on usability for “power-users” single page makes sense. Nevertheless, I think web design seems to prefer many pages though I don’t know if that’s driven by user-friendliness or driving up the “click-through” rate.
I don’t know if you’re into this, but this would be a perfect project to learn a new language or framework.
Do you mean RTSP?
Camera: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B086L8TWM5?psc=1
Also use Motion with post-Motion capture alerts sent via XMPP. Got the family on XMPP so it works out.
Not answering your question, BUT I went with POE IP camera in the end. They one I got form Amazon has an IR blaster and filter so it can see in black and white at night. No good Open-source HW options for that as far as I’m aware. Access via an RTSP on VLC or MPV. I use motion to access web streams and motion detection
Cool. Though I like to use vifm with the tree command.
I have my family (for chat), security cameras (for motion detection), and server notifications on my own xmpp server (Prosody). Private and works for me.
Lots of good libraries for programming bots with updates. Can upload images or videos to the chat.
After that I agree with the other responses on here. With price being a wash, I prefer larger drives for less hands-on replacement and lower power usage.
Price is king for me! I optimize for lowest price per TB with good quality drives.
Could just get a Pinephone with keyboard. Plus you get a cellular modem.
