Home security has become a top priority for many people in recent years, and with the rise of open source technology, there are now more options than ever before for securing your home. Here are three advanced open source projects that you can use to secure your home:

1.Bluecherry

Bluecherry is an open source video surveillance system that allows you to monitor your home from anywhere in the world. It supports a wide range of cameras and can be used to record video footage, take snapshots, and detect motion. Bluecherry also has a web interface that makes it easy to manage your cameras and view your footage.

One of the best things about Bluecherry is that it is highly customizable. You can configure it to work with a variety of cameras, and you can also set up alerts to notify you when motion is detected. Bluecherry is free to use, but you will need to purchase a license if you want to use it with more than two cameras.

2.OpenHAB

OpenHAB is an open source home automation platform that allows you to control a variety of devices in your home, including lights, locks, and cameras. It can be used to create custom automation rules that can help you secure your home. For example, you can set up a rule that turns on your lights when motion is detected, or you can set up a rule that locks your doors when you leave the house.

OpenHAB is highly customizable and can be used with a wide range of devices. It also has a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to set up and manage your home automation system. OpenHAB is free to use, but you will need to purchase additional hardware if you want to use it with certain devices.

3.ZoneMinder

ZoneMinder is an open source video surveillance system that allows you to monitor your home using a variety of cameras. It can be used to record video footage, take snapshots, and detect motion. ZoneMinder also has a user-friendly web interface that makes it easy to manage your cameras and view your footage.

One of the best things about ZoneMinder is that it is highly customizable. You can configure it to work with a variety of cameras, and you can also set up alerts to notify you when motion is detected. ZoneMinder is free to use, but you will need to purchase a license if you want to use it with more than one camera.

Conclusion

Open source technology has made it easier than ever to secure your home. These three advanced open source projects are just a few examples of the many options that are available. Whether you are looking for a video surveillance system, a home automation platform, or a combination of both, there is an open source solution that can help you secure your home.

About Us

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
