## What it is
Secluso is an open-source, privacy-preserving home security camera system built for Raspberry Pi, featuring end-to-end encrypted remote access for live video, alerts, and recordings. It includes a deploy tool for quick setup, a mobile app for iOS and Android, and a self-hosted relay option so footage never goes to a cloud provider.

## Use cases
- set up a private home security camera without cloud surveillance
- watch live camera footage remotely with end-to-end encryption
- get motion alerts on my phone from a DIY camera
- self-host a security camera relay on my own VPS
- build a DIY Raspberry Pi security camera
- replace Ring or Nest with a privacy-respecting camera
- review encrypted camera recordings from my phone

## When to choose
- you want a DIY, self-hosted security camera with strong end-to-end encryption
- you own a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and a compatible camera module
- you want to avoid cloud providers having access to your home footage
- you value open-source, reproducible builds and auditable security

## When to avoid
- you want a plug-and-play commercial camera with no hardware assembly
- you need features like person detection at scale or multi-camera enterprise setups
- you don't have a Linux VPS or willingness to manage a relay
- you need support for cameras beyond the supported Pi camera modules
