Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up?
papertowels@mander.xyz 1 week agoA self hosting thing that I did after having a kid that’s helped us tremendously is hook up an internal camera to frigate to use as a baby monitor, and then have automations in home assistant to automatically change which parent gets notified about crying in the middle of the night based on an agreed-upon “shift”. Just a thought to consider :)

I love the idea! I was actually thinking about building something like a baby monitor with cameras instead of just buying one, so your comment further inspires me to follow up on that. May I ask what camera you were using?

I think it was an older model of this one, but I’m not sure. Just a random amcrest I had lying around.
It’s also worth pointing out that there are a few self-hosted solutions actually meant to act as baby monitors doing stuff like sleep/wake differentiation. I just had trouble getting one of them going and just thought screw it I’ll just use frigate and noise levels to detect crying sounds since he was older and hardier.
